I read 'The Ritual' which was the first book in this series in August 2023 (aka last summer), and I LOVED it. I loved the LORDS aspect, I loved how dark it was, loved the plot and loved the smut. And I loved those same things again while reading 'The Sinner'. I would 10000% recommend this book to people if they have read dark romance before, especially dark dark romance as this is not for people new to this genre. I loved Ellington and Sin, loved how they interacted and loved how protective Sin was of Ellington (Elli).
