BOOK REVIEW : This book was an absolute rollercoaster for me, beginning with the smut and ending with the plot. After falling in love with “The Ritual”, I damn near screamed when I found out the world of the Lords wasn’t over. Sin and Elli were so perfectly fucked up for each other that I couldn’t help but find myself drawn in, the ballance between Sin’s Little Demon and Elli’s Devil providing the sweetest aftertaste. I’ll admit, there were times where I had to pause due to the intensity of the content (something that very rarely happens), however that didn’t deter from the painful beauty overall. I certainly plan to re-immerse myself within Barrington University soon.

“When I burn the world down and they ask me why, I’ll tell them the devil asked me to do it. And I wanted to make him proud.”

The only thing that would’ve made this book better for me is a genuine heart to heart moment between Sin and Elli. I know that may not be the way these two function, but I couldn’t help but find myself longing for something sweet and out of character.
