This Book Scared the Sh!t Out Of Me😭

Hey yall! I went to B&N for the first time in almost 6 months and let me tell YOU‼️‼️ I was in there for over an hour and it was crazy and I am about to tell you how in the end! (Skip to the part about The Ritual if you wanna know now)

🌶️

I just started reading again since being in school took most of my time and now it is summer break! I LOVE LOVE LOVVEEE spicy and dark romances and my B&N had a table literally labeled “SpicyTok” and i RAN to that table😂😂 It was full of so many books I wanted to read, but I told myself I was only allowed to spend $50☹️

🌶️

Priest seems soooooo good and smutty. I have heard many good reviews and I am so excited to read it 🤩 Plus it has a little degradation trope and hey im here for it 😭 I just couldn’t leave it on that table!

🌶️

I have been eyeing Praise for a long time and I do have Give Me More which I have yet to read, but the age gap trope is exactly what I was looking for. I have read Credence and a few other age gaps and honestly I am so into it. Plus the cover is just so sexy and beautiful for a book like Praise and I am so excited to read it.

🌶️

So now why my shopping trip was CRAZY🤣 I saw The Ritual on the table and I picked it up and read the TW in the book and let me tell you, I was shakin in my boots😭 The TW aren’t that terrible, but I have a hard time reading about murder and things like that so I am nervous for this book and because I have heard how dark it is! I have reading Haunting Adeline tho and I was fine so we will see! I literally carried the book around and then put it down cause I was shaking so bad it was like I had 500000mg of caffeine. Then as I was leaving I decided to buy it anyways and almost cried walking back to my car. Maybe it’s a sign not to read it, but I have 30 days to return it so I have time to decide😂 As for now, it is just gonna stare at me from my desk lol.

🌶️

PLLLLEEEAASSSSEEEEEEEEE let me know your reviews!! Especially for The Ritual! 🫶🏻
