About this book
Their job should be to kill me.
Instead, I have become their favourite toy.
The bones of every blood witch mark the entrances to the human villages. Blood magic is forbidden.
It's evil incarnate.
Everybody knows that.
So, on my twentieth birthday, when my coven's sacred blood rite ritual reveals me as the first blood witch to appear in the last twenty years, I fully expect my bones to be added to the pile.
What I don't expect is to be kidnapped by three egotistical, frustratingly gorgeous and devious witch-killing warrior immortals with a peculiar and insatiable taste for my blood.
Shaw, a domineering dream-walker who collects monsters.
Dorian, a broody shadow-master who likes to play with poppet dolls.
And Archie, a slightly unhinged wolf shifter who enjoys pushing everyone's limits.
They want something from me but refuse to tell me what.
As I'm dragged into a mess of dark magic, twisted desires and an all-consuming power that marks me for death, my list of enemies grows.
My old coven wants me back.
My ex-fiancé has become obsessed with making me pay for betraying him.
And secrets come to light that might just rip my soul to shreds.
What little soul I'm clinging on to, at any rate.
Their Blood Rite is Book One of the Crimson Covenant series. It's a dark, enemies to lovers, why choose romance full of magic, danger, passion, and pain.

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,...

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?...

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. )
