The Ritual by Shantel Tessier

I read this book in 2023 and am now listening to the audio. Am so happy i did. It was a duet, and it brought out a lot more emotions.

I read up to book 4 in the lords series, and this is still my favorite. This book felt more grounded and almost had more realism compared to others in the series. It questions things about being a chosen, a lord and what it entails especially epilogue, when the f m c questioned her daughter and her son’s position in the world of the lords and she did not like it at all.

The beginning
Ryat- he was so sexy. It did annoy me that he never actually wanted Blakely. I thought he was going to be harsh and revengeful, knowing that’s his ex best friend girlfriend. But he kind of sweet, yet so rough. And there weren’t any bullying, thank god. Ryat is still brutal. He behaves so adult, like I forget he’s still in college. He’s like twenty, but to be honest, I feel more like he’s forty-one. His internal dialogue was so unhinged, but he was a little romantic.

Blakely- After reading the rest of the series , I realized she is the best FMC. She is strong and demanding when she needs to be but still very freaky. She is very, very freaky for a virgin. Comparing this to other books, i felt like she had the best father figure in this environment. The L.O.R.D world is brutal for all women. They are considered nothing more than playthings, even the parents, especially men in the family. It created an uneasy atmosphere when there are dialogues or situations involving the Fmc. I get so nervous. She also mentioned a few things about the workings of the lords and it got me thinking about the chosen. The fact that the parents let their daughters become chosen for other lords, which can be so sadistic. It’s just hurt my heart.

Ending – not gonna lie. There is so much smut. The plot was still very strong only towards the end of the book. I was so intrigued around the rules and regulations of being the lords that I wish the book explained more in detail. It comes off as a cult organization but a very sophisticated version that includes billionaires, political people, and criminals, with strong sexist beliefs.

People were being murdered without a care in the world. And the ending was so good. The epilogue was also great. After reading the legacy of god series, I now want a book of the kids Pronto.
