okay so first of all i definitely loved the mentions of blakely and ryat in this especially in the ending!! we need a book for the next generation 🥺 however, i do have to say i didn’t like it too much in the beginning and there was lots of drowning and other things lol where the ritual wasn’t “as bad”. though you can see a similar pattern to the ritual for sure with  the certain way the plot went which i definitely don’t mind as it makes it seem more familiar. but let me get started on poor elli this gurl deserves everything in the world and nothing but pure happiness. the amount of things she went through?? she’s literally so strong. also sin you little bastard. i love you but why did use her trauma for please??? she needs to be able to differentiate and i now she was messed up from all that but still you could have been the one to help her with loving the abuse. anyways, i don’t know if i liked the ritual more than this but i do know that this is “only” 4 stars due to some of the things that happened in this book.

This book is a hard read, make sure you revie the TWs before you start. There are toxic characters so please don't think you're going to get a healthy read. It's definitely an emotional roller coaster all the way to the end.  The main female character goes through so much and your heart breaks for her. It's a long read.
