An all-new dark standalone romance from the USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author, Shantel Tessier


THE CHOSEN ONE

Barrington University is home of the Lords, a secret society that requires their blood in payment. They are above all—the most powerful men in the world. They devote their lives to violence in exchange for power. And during their senior year, they are offered a chosen one.

I VOW. YOU VOW. WE VOW.

People think growing up with money is freeing, but I promise you, it’s not. My entire life has been planned out for me. I never got the chance to do what I wanted until Ryat Alexander Archer came along and gave me an option for a better life. He offered me what no one else ever had—freedom.

I chose to be his. He made me believe that anyway, but it was just another lie. A way that the Lords manipulate you into doing what they want.

After being sucked into the dark, twisted world of the Lords, I embraced my new role and allowed Ryat to parade me around like the trophy I was to him. But like all things, what started out as a game soon became a fight for survival. And the only way out was death.

I had more hope for Blakelys character development but as the story went her being dumbfounded,

good

First off, this is a "Dark Romance" story, looking at the reviews it's baffling that some women still criticise the points that make dark romance dark romance. You have a problem with dubious consent or non-consentual (consent) and other topics that make a romance story "dark"? Move on to Romantasy or other genres, but don't rate "dark romance" stories down just because you failed to read the disclaimer about this book being a "dark college romance".

If you are new to dark romance, this is a good series to test the waters. I've started this series 3 or so years ago and I still recommend it to dark romance beginners.

However, this story is not the best in the series, so keep on reading. I wished Blakely was less annoying to read/hear. That's about the biggest point of criticism. To those who want better plot twists: keep on reading. The good plot twists aren't in the single books, but in the overall story.

The performance of the voice actors was good. The voice of the FMC was a bit hard on the ear when she tried to do other voices (it borderline hurt my ears). Although I love a deep male voice for dark romance, this voice is a bit too deep for a college kid.

Love the series, this is not the best book though. Great performance

This book has everything! It’s exciting from start to finish. Countless plot twists, amazing writing style and the characters are like onions in every way possible. And the spicy parts- are extra spicy. I’ll start the next one from the series rn.

Best Dark Romance I‘ve ‘read‘ so far!

Story is ok and spice is nice, but the fmc is so dumbfounded, no development at all, how much can one cry. a dumb barbie doll. that makes it super boring.

weak FMC

This isn’t the worst book I’ve ever read but it’s certainly not the best . It’s a book with a hype I can not understand but different strokes & what not I guess . I literally would zone out despite the fantastic narrators . It’s hardly a romance to me - I don’t even know what to call this . I like dark romance with a bit of swoon factor - this felt like straight up Greek yoghurt with no cream - I like my Greek yoghurt a bit creamy .This is the second Shantel Tessier book ive DNF'd only to return to because I paid for the book thus I might as well finish .the first novella in this series too was a DNF for me - I’m yet to try get into that a again too . she just might not be my cup of tea & that doesn’t make her a bad author but nothing has impressed me so far and it could be an entirely me problem . Is this book worth reading ? It’s decent but nothing to ride home about in my humble opinion

DNF’d this & came back to it ⭐️⭐️⭐️
