Book 3 of February

My Current Read

📖 Name of the Book: The Ritual

📄 Plot: THE CHOSEN ONE

Barrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment. They are above all—the most powerful men in the world. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. And during their senior year, they are offered a chosen one.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

People think growing up with money is freeing, but I promise you, it’s not. My entire life has been planned out for me. I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. He offered me what no one else ever had—freedom.

I chose to be his. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie. A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want.

After being sucked into the dark, twisted world of the Lords, I embraced my new role and allowed Ryat to parade me around like the trophy I was to him. But like all things, what started out as a game soon became a fight for survival. And the only way out was death.

📖 Genre: Dark Romance

🌶️ rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

💭 My Thoughts: This one is definitely not for the weak of heart. Do not read if you have triggers to BDSM, cults, dv, or ownership. There was quite a lot of spice to plot, but it all made sense.

⭐ Star Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’d rate Loving You Always by Kennedy Ryan a 2/5. It’s the second book in the series, and while it does have a happy ending, it felt underwhelming. The story follows Kerris, who becomes pregnant but tragically loses the baby after getting into a car accident while chasing after Cam (Walsh best f

BOOKS I READ DURING THE MONTH OF FEBRUARY
it’s the month of love so naturally, romance books were the go to this month. I’m not huge on romance but I have a guilty pleasure of cheesy reads when I am! “Good Girl Comllex” was a wayyyy more fun read than “Love in the Time of Serial Killers” (kind of a snoozefest but still interesting)
