The Ritual: A Dark College Romance

It isn’t that I didn’t like this book, I actually ended up getting very hooked but similar to other extra spicy books I’ve read, I was hoping for more plot. The book is primarily spicy scenes and the ones that aren’t, are just violent and reference sex. If you’re into dark romances this is perfect but if that’s not your thing, stay away. About halfway through I started seeing a twisty mystery coming into play and that’s when it really hooked me, I actually very much enjoyed our main characters, Ryat and Blakely, and was really rooting for them to grow into deeper characters. Ultimately, this is an acquired take. This is the first book in a standalone series so I might find my way back into the world of the Lords at some point again.

Overall it’s a good read for dark romance lovers. Very spicy scenes and great chemistry between the leads, but I do wish there was a bit more depth between them and their growing relationship. Would have been nice to see them converse more rather than alwaaaaayyysssss have hot kinky sex. Villain was good though and it kept me on my toes wanting to find out what’s gonna happen next. We’ll see if I read the other LORD books!

After reading the H.Adeline series I got onto a dark romance kick and this was a great new series to get into! I was unsure at first about it, but very quickly this book got into the action and completely hooked me! Really looking forward to the rest of the series, even knowing they are all considered standalone but set in the same universe.

If you want spice….
