The Ritual by Shantel Tessier

spicycronereads's review

FMC seems ridiculously naive or just dumb. FMC’s BF was annoying. MMC…I like some kink and dark romance but the graphic murder, threats of rape, drugging women, and just abject humiliation is a miss for me. The villainous rich students with their privilege were caricatures. I absolutely believe this level of privilege exists but the characters were just ridiculous. And don’t  get me started on the author’s clumsy attempts to incorporate their sound track. Not only did I not care about the characters or the world by 21%, I liked them even less than when it started. Not going to waste precious time on more of this drivel.
