Ryat. Ryat, Ryat, Ryat. Sweet lord. 
I’ve had the L.O.R.D.S. series on my tbr for a few months and the length of the books was what put me off. However the length of the book doesn’t matter when you read it in one sitting… yes. 

The Ritual by Shantel Tessier follows Blakely and Ryat. 
From the very beginning I fell in love with both characters, they’re brilliantly developed and i was rooting for her and Ryat. 

Their situation is so unique i thoroughly enjoyed reading about not only their relationship but the process and rules of being a lord was interesting to read about too. 

Matt is so incredibly hatable I actually wanted to rip his vocal cords out, well done Shantel for making him such an annoying character. 

Writing this review I’m half way through The Sinner (the second book) and I’m also loving this book. It’s defiantly darker but still just as incredible.
