My Review

This book was so dark. If you made it through the first book you know how dark they are but I felt this one was darker. I couldn’t help but love Sin even though he did some crazy stuff and I shouldn’t lol This series reminds me a lot of the movie The Skulls. They’re in college and a secret society that they’re initiated into gets away with crimes including murder. The only difference is the amount of smut. This is along the same darkness as haunting Adeline so if you couldn’t read that duet I don’t recommend this one. However the twists were pretty good. I wasn’t expecting the betrayals when they happened at all so my jaw dropped. Shantel definitely kept me on my toes with this one.

This book was thrilling to say the least. More triggering than the ritual but also filled with more plot twists. I thoroughly enjoyed this dark read.

This book had me pissed off literally the entire time. Struggled to finish. Probably a world record for the number of times the word cunt was used. Please tell me that the Sacrifice is better so I don't have to DNF the rest of the series. 🫠

Yikes

Sometimes I think a book can be trying to add too much darkness just to see how much we can take. Elli was sexually assaulted by every man in this book. Seriously. And she blames her high sex drive, which was only there because she was groomed by her stepfather and then raped her whole life. But anyway.

I couldn't really enjoy the spice because it was mostly rape.
The story was interesting though. There was a ton of stuff happening and the LORDS world is interesting enough. But Elli suffered so much that it was hard to get any enjoyment out of the book. I know this is a dark romance, and the majority of books I've listened to this year were labeled dark. My favorite was Under Your Scars. So I can deal with dark romance. But there has to be something redeeming going on. And Sin just wasn't a good guy anywhere. Not good enough, I guess. He was all "I'm a savior" but came in too late. He has cameras but only saw things after they happened. He didn't let her get revenge, he killed everyone. And then he tried to martyr himself like that makes it all better. But overall, it was a pretty good book.

The audio was barely tolerable though. Laurie West is great as always. She puts a lot of emotion into her work and it's needed in this role. But Peter Alden was not the voice I would have chosen for Sin. Like, at all. I won't be mean about it but this is not the voice of a hot, 20 year old killer. It's the voice of his accountant uncle.
