This was definitely dark and the spice was incredible. As far as dark romance goes, it is SOLID. I loved the premise of the book, and the idea that these men go through years of trials and are rewarded with their own Chosen One for their senior year of college. The storyline was both absolutely addictive, and ridiculously hot. There was definitely no point at which I was bored. I didn’t feel that way at all with this book.
That is the danger with thick romance novels, in my opinion – they usually contain filler scenes that do nothing to progress the plot. This book is CHONKY and I have to start by saying that there were no scenes that I felt were filler. The second I saw this cover I was intrigued, and then I read the synopsis and was obsessed. That was the case with The Ritual for me. Add in a secret society and a sexy cover and I’ll be clamoring for it. Really all you need to do to get me to read a romance novel is tell me that it is dark and set at a school. I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review This is a 150K word dark romance and may contain triggers for some due to sexual situations, language, and violence. J/P & OTT Hero (jealous/possessive & over the top) TW (Please see the author’s note on the inside) But like all things, what started out as a game soon became a fight for survival. A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want.Īfter being sucked into the dark, twisted world of the Lords, I embraced my new role and allowed Ryat to parade me around like the trophy I was to him. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie. He offered me what no one else ever had-freedom.
I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. My entire life has been planned out for me. People think growing up with money is freeing, but I promise you, it’s not. And during their senior year, they are offered a chosen one. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. They are above all-the most powerful men in the world. Barrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment.
