First of all; this is not a romance. This is a (bad) thriller/erotica. Authors need to stick to the genre or be held responsible when they're not!!
The Ritual with Ryat&Blake is one of my favourite books of all time!! But after "Sabotage" I'm pretty sure the author just writes for shock value. She knows what her fans want, and what she'll "get away with". Which is OK, but I really liked her early writing style, so I'm sad 😞
I'm not bying the whole "universe" either. It's to far fetched and all the Lords do is kill each other?
The FMC is weak af, but that's not her fault. She's been groomed from a really young age. And her character description made me think of DeBrie from Arrested Development s4.... that's NOT the vibe you want 🥲🥲
The MMC is mean mean and doesn't have a redeeming bone in his body.
I used over a month reading this book, because I wanted to DNF it every other page. The only thing that kept me going was the tiny bit of mystery; who killed Whitney and what/who is Tyson saving Lake from?
The plot's not really going forward intil you hit the 60% mark. But even tho it's a stand-alone, you're left with LOTS of questions after finishing the book.
