🖤 Dark Romance Spotlight: The Ritual by Shantel Tessier

Dark, addictive, and utterly obsession-worthy.

Let’s talk about a book that completely wrecked me (in the best possible way)—The Ritual by Shantel Tessier. If you love your romance dark, intense, and laced with secrets, this is the book you’ve been waiting for.

Set in the elite and corrupt world of Barrington University, The Ritual throws you into a secret society, twisted rites of passage, and a dangerously possessive love story that had me hooked from page one. I was completely OBSESSED.

“He chose me. Marked me. Took me. And I loved every second of it.”
– The Ritual, Shantel Tessier

This book is everything: forbidden, steamy, and totally unputdownable. Ryat is the kind of morally gray, dominant antihero you’ll never forget—and the chemistry between him and Blakely? Off. The. Charts.

⚠️ Trigger Warnings:

• Graphic sexual content
• Manipulation, stalking, and coercion
• Violence, dubcon/noncon elements, degradation
• Mature dark romance themes – 18+ only

If you’re here for secret societies, intense possessiveness, and a story that will take you to the edge and back—The Ritual is your next obsession.
