This book was such a fantastic read that I could not put down no matter what I needed to do。 It moves along at a pace which makes for such a great read。 The characters seem do real that you feel like you know them。 This is a must read that needs to be read。

what a rush! Honest to god my emotions we’re all over the place when reading this。 At any given time what I was feeling changed with each scenario。 I loved it immensely and I’m hoping we get more of Tyson 😈

This book ended up surprising me。 I love it when this author gets all twisty with her suspense, so I was worried with all the steam that seemed to be every other page, but for me personally the storyline was too epic to drown out。 To say I was relieved is an understatement。These characters will wring every emotion out of you more than once, but will they find themselves living happily ever after together, or will the flame get snuffed out?I highly recommend that you one click this monster of a b This book ended up surprising me。 I love it when this author gets all twisty with her suspense, so I was worried with all the steam that seemed to be every other page, but for me personally the storyline was too epic to drown out。 To say I was relieved is an understatement。These characters will wring every emotion out of you more than once, but will they find themselves living happily ever after together, or will the flame get snuffed out?I highly recommend that you one click this monster of a book to find out immediately。 。。。more

Aleena Left it unread, the heroine is a tragic case。 The hero is over the top 。 Did not like it。

This book is not Shantel's usual bully romances and it clearly stand out。A secret society that has been happening for years and it is a very different background。Guess it was this very uniqueness that caught me from the beginning。 The Story is so intense and twisted that one can never stop reading until the end。 And after that end I cant believe it's over。Definitely one of Shantel's best book。The Chemistry was raw,burning and so hot。I really enjoyed reading this book and will be re-reading it so This book is not Shantel's usual bully romances and it clearly stand out。A secret society that has been happening for years and it is a very different background。Guess it was this very uniqueness that caught me from the beginning。 The Story is so intense and twisted that one can never stop reading until the end。 And after that end I cant believe it's over。Definitely one of Shantel's best book。The Chemistry was raw,burning and so hot。I really enjoyed reading this book and will be re-reading it soon。Addictive! 。。。more

The relationship between Ryat and Blakely was unconventional。 He made no about letting Blake know he intends to keep her。 Close and under his control。 But Ryat underestimated Blake because she would submit to him。 She needed his firm hand to give the release she needed in her life。 Ryat is everything I love about a dirty, unredeemable Alpha that gets redeemed。 Blakley is beautiful, innocent, and sassy。 She’s the perfect person to bring the that bad boy to his knees。

Now we may proceed to what you really want to know about right 😉。 So first off this is a dark bully romance and when I mean dark THIS IS Really A DARK BULLY ROMANCE!!!! I am too far gone and think nothing surprises me anymore, but if you feel that you’ll be out of your comfort zone check what triggers play into this book。 This is not a let’s hold hands and skip through the sunshine filled rainbow meadows。 You will be pushed and pulled in all different directions that will leave you with whiplash Now we may proceed to what you really want to know about right 😉。 So first off this is a dark bully romance and when I mean dark THIS IS Really A DARK BULLY ROMANCE!!!! I am too far gone and think nothing surprises me anymore, but if you feel that you’ll be out of your comfort zone check what triggers play into this book。 This is not a let’s hold hands and skip through the sunshine filled rainbow meadows。 You will be pushed and pulled in all different directions that will leave you with whiplash and a 🤯 to say what the fudge just happened。 From secret society, murder, lies, deceptions and plot twists at every corner you’ll feel so thoroughly used that you’ll be left in state of shock。 Be ready for smexy scene upon smexy upon smexy scene!! I feel like every chapter was a full blown erotic movie playing out with extreme kinks that have you questioning all your sense of morals。 I don’t want to sit here and give you a full resume of the story。 If you’re intrigued read the blurb。 Now as far as the main characters Ryat is a full blown possessive ahole you’ll either love him or hate him。 Blakely sighs will test your patience and again you’ll either love or hate her。 So if after everything I have stated floats your boat well baby get on tooting and dive right in。 Don’t say I didn’t warn ya 😈 。。。more

Welcome to the deep dark。。。 I KNEW this was going to be wild after everything I've read by this author。 The Dare series, Make You Beg, they are incredible check them out! THIS ONE though, is not any less dark than those。 Possibly darker。So many of us who have read this already have said, do not play around with the triggers and we mean it。 Don't read this, find out you shouldn't have, and then bash it because you were out of your element。 This book is depicted exactly as it is, DARK, and it is p Welcome to the deep dark。。。 I KNEW this was going to be wild after everything I've read by this author。 The Dare series, Make You Beg, they are incredible check them out! THIS ONE though, is not any less dark than those。 Possibly darker。So many of us who have read this already have said, do not play around with the triggers and we mean it。 Don't read this, find out you shouldn't have, and then bash it because you were out of your element。 This book is depicted exactly as it is, DARK, and it is perfectly suited for the appropriate audience。I know that's a bit of a rant but it felt important to clarify because I've been seeing dark romance under attack a lot and I'm just over it。 We're here for it and it's going to stick around。 Don't sit at our table if you don't like it。Now, Ryat。 I ADORE HIM AND I DON'T CARE WHAT ANYONE HAS TO SAY! He's the obligatory dark and he's obviously delicious but for some reason I just ate him up immediately。 He's the ultimate out of the Tessier books I've read so far and I was pretty deep into Law, so。Blakley is a bit of a lily in the thorns, she's oblivious to the plot she's a part of and I felt a bit sorry for her knowing how wild these plots can get。 She was already resolved to the life she was expected to live according to her parents and then she's plunged into all of this。 I could go on forever but I really just think you ought to read it。This is a long book and that can be intimidating but once you get going you won't stop! 。。。more

I’m not a new reader for this author, in fact, The Dare Series is my favorite of hers, and The Ritual sits right at the top with them! Ryat Archer was everything I LOVE in a hero 😏 He plays dirty, gets dirty, and DOES NOT BACK DOWN!!! I love an over the top, jealous, possessive, and does whatever it takes kind of man! I just could not get enough!!!! Ryat left me gasping for more of him every single page。 Blakley was everything I LOVE in a heroine。 She’s sassy and doesn’t take no for an answer! I love how she was willing to go as far as she could because she was so sick of everything going on in her life! Her determination and willingness with a dash of attitude was it for me! I loved and enjoyed these two together, but I will also say, I’ve never seen these two not having hot sex with one another。 Trust me, the kink was HOT ASF。 But I did wish to see a little bit of a softer side of these two! Although, with how the storyline and everything about these two were, I do get it! (ITS JUST MEEEE CAUSE I DOOOO LOVE SOME STEAMY ASF ROMANCE!!) Their complicated secret society love story all wrapped into a web of lies, revenge, betrayal, secrets, unexpected love, and twist + turns that you may not have seen coming… it made up such a perfect dark romance book!!!! There was so much going on (besides them between the sheets) along with so many players that you should pay attention to!! I loved the story line, the plot, and everything in between!! You NEED this book in your life, trust me!!! And buckle up, you’re in for a ride with the Lords 💀Shantel Tessier, you’ve yet again, rendered me utterly speechless!!!!! I wish and want so much more of these characters and the world! UGHHH RYAT IS MY MAN! 😍 FOUR AND A HALF DREAMY STARS: 💫💫💫💫 。。。more

Gail

Oh my this story gave me all the feels。 Shantel has a way with her words that draws you in and keeps you hooked。 I think Blakely and Ryat’s story definitely takes the cake this time。 So worth the read。

Holy h*** What did Shantel do to me!! This book has all the darkness I love in a book。 Blakely is reserved and on the quieter side but with the flame for breaking free from her do-good life and Rayt is dark, controlling and a dominating alpha。 This book starts right off troughing us in this world full of spiciness, a secret society and suspense and I couldn’t get enough of it!

There were so many twists and turns, back room dealings, and contrived situations that it made my head spin in the best way possible! I’ve read more books this year than any year prior and The Ritual was unquestionably one of the best! The Ritual is the story of Ryat and Blakely, students at Barrington University, a prestigious college in Pennsylvania。 Barrington is home to an exclusive, secret society, the Lords, that readies it’s male membership to become the next generation of powerful, if untouchable, elite leaders across the country。Despite the Lordship being his birthright, Ryat must still undergo initiation, and a number of trials and tribulations, all designed to illustrate his commitment and loyalty to the brotherhood。 In a Lord’s senior year, they are rewarded for their devotion with a Chosen。 Enter Blakely。 I vow。 You vow。 We vow。 Blakely too must participate in a ritual and once we cross the threshold at the House of Lords, things get twisty and don’t right themselves until the very end!! This book literally has it all: Lies。 Revenge。 Manipulation。 Murder。 Suspense。 Steam。 The steam。 🔥 Yes, there is steam for days。 In fact, The Ritual has some of the hottest scenes I’ve read lately。 The chemistry between our main characters was off the charts。 But given the circumstances, I liked that it was instalust and neither Ryat nor Blake tried to overplay their feelings before they naturally developed。 It was so much more realistic within this context。 I could keep going, but I don’t want to give anything away。 So I’ll say that Fans of the Royals of Forsyth series will love The Ritual!! ⛔️ Warning: This book may cause blushing, squirming, combusting pantries, and/or self-care。 It’s definitely NSFW or with a kiddo by your side。 In fact, I would highly recommend you read this one after dark to avoid side eye or awkward conversations。⚠️ Safety Squad: Triggers galore if you have any。 If not, blind is best!! 。。。more

Ryat become a Lord through a series of tasks and is given a chosen。 Bailey is dedicated as his chosen and they fit like two halves of the same coin。 The pleasure we get from two people becoming closer after so much angst, trial, and error is phenomenal。 Ryat is a completely dominating alphahole with so many great scenes between the two。 Would I recommend or buy?

This was WOW!! It was full of darkness, hotness & so, so much more than I can ever explain。 Yes be aware some parts may be triggers, but don’t let that detour you on reading this entertaining read。 Shantel can weave a gloriously epic story with some crazy dark stuff that will have you wondering how you can enjoy it so much that you can’t stop。 A fully entertaining sexy read that will keep you wondering what is going to happen next。 I highly recommend this book。 Told in dual POV。

Leave it to Shantel to leave me without words。 The Ritual is dark and hauntingly chilling。 Ryat is a broody alpha that I'd like to take a bite out of。 He knew he was destined to be a Lord and was always diligent to get where he needed to be, the very best。 The last thing he expected was Blakely。 Blake is striving to always pave her own way, but unfortunately her mother won't let her。 This book is twisted and so unexpected。 I couldn't predict any of it。 This is truly a book to experience。 Leave it to Shantel to leave me without words。 The Ritual is dark and hauntingly chilling。 Ryat is a broody alpha that I'd like to take a bite out of。 He knew he was destined to be a Lord and was always diligent to get where he needed to be, the very best。 The last thing he expected was Blakely。 Blake is striving to always pave her own way, but unfortunately her mother won't let her。 This book is twisted and so unexpected。 I couldn't predict any of it。 This is truly a book to experience。 。。。more
