About this book

Blood magic is a death sentence, and at twenty, Ashe is ready to accept her fate. When her sacred ritual marks her as the first blood witch in two decades, she expects the village to turn on her immediately. Instead, she is snatched away by three lethal, immortal warriors who were trained to destroy her kind. Shaw, Dorian, and Archie are as dangerous as they are devastatingly handsome, and they have no intention of killing her. They have an insatiable hunger for her blood and a mysterious agenda that keeps her trapped in a web of dark desires.

This gripping series opener masterfully weaves together the best of paranormal romance tropes. From the high-stakes tension of forbidden love to the intoxicating chaos of a reverse-harem dynamic, the story pulls you into a world where enemies become captors and captors become everything. With the addition of a volatile wolf shifter and a shadowy, atmospheric aesthetic, the narrative thrives on the chemistry between the brooding leads and their defiant, complex heroine.

Prepare for a visceral, dark romance that pushes boundaries and demands your full attention. As secrets unravel and the threat of her past coven looms, Ashe must navigate a treacherous path of passion and pain. If you crave a page-turner that balances intense magic with a found-family dynamic and scorching tension, this is your next obsession. Just be sure to check the trigger warnings—this journey into the Crimson Covenant is as addictive as it is wicked.

I liked it, the fire burned hot if you know what I mean. Wink wink, can’t wait to read book two )

A page turner!

I really enjoyed this book. It was very, very dark, so please read the trigger warnings before you start reading. The story was good, Ashe was a bit irritating the whole time, but I think and hope she will be better in the next book. I devoured this in two days and never felt the need to switch books or felt bored. And that’s something coming from a woman with ADHD :D )

Book: Their Bloodrite Series: Crimson Covenant Duology, Book 1 Author: M.J. Lawrie Will You Read More From This Author: Yes Completed Series: Yes Storyline/Plot: Okay. I need to breathe after this one. And immediately start book 2! This book is not for the faint at heart. If you can handle the darkness, oh my darkness! It’s gut wrenching in such powerful ways. It shows the pain and vulnerability of women, but the strength we have in our bodies and minds. It’s a revelry of choosing debauchery,...

mixed feelings

February 25, 2025

Overall I liked the book, it’s different than a lot of what I have read lately. What I don’t like and reason for the three stars is the fact the FMC has no power or control throughout the entirety of the book. She is the byproduct of every males whim, she has no free will, therefore, I don’t understand why she even bothers to continue. What growth can she possibly have in the next few books, if at the ending, it’s revealed she’s this all powerful being but is still compelled into being a tool?...

Wickedly Delicious

I hate these men. Like I want to see them tortured and burned. I don’t want to feel for them or hear their stories. I just want Ashe to get her revenge on them. But I know it’s coming. The only way to continue the story is to bring them all together. I will read on because I am invested in Ashe. Beautiful storytelling. )
