Enjoy the darkness, I did.Īn all-new dark standalone romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Shantel Tessierīarrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment. She does give warning in the beginning so heed them if they are too much for you, but it’s all part of the plot and fits the lives of the characters. The Ritual is dark and totally pushes boundaries with how filthy it is, but everything is perfectly in line with these characters and fits within the bound of their kink. The Ritual is right up there as one that had me turning pages at all hours needing to figure out what was going to happen next. This is what makes her storytelling brilliant! Her twisty plots intertwined with dark themes continually draw me back to her books. Then she gives the appearance that nothing is what is seems until your mind is completely blown. There are so many layers to this story, which Shantel is a master at revealing at the opportune time. Now it’s senior year and it’s time for his reward and her name is Blakely.

His father, his father’s father, and so forth have all been members of this secret society. Ryat has known he would be a Lord his entire life. Shantel lifts the blindfold off of a moraless secret society and it’s sinfully delicious. Review Rating: 5 Gold Stars Review/Synopsis:ĭark, gritty, and oh so filthy.
