About this listen

Their job should be to kill me. Instead, I have become their favorite 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 is a domineering dream-walker who collects monsters. Dorian is a broody shadow master who likes to play with poppet dolls. And Archie is 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. This is a reverse harem book and contains mature content. A complete list of content warnings can be found on the author's website.

There are 3 hot MMCs and a one hell of a FMC. These men are morally blackish gray so there are some questionable actions and gore. But story is a captivating one and i really enjoyed listening.
Paranormal creatures and RH is a chef’s kiss for me xoxo

Captivating story!

Having read all of M.J.’s books, my expectations going into this first in her new series were high. And she doesn’t disappoint; the story grabs you by the short and curlies and doesn’t let go until you reach the end of the book. Ashe is a badass heroine and uses earth magic, my favourite brand of magic, so I knew that I would love her from the get go. The morals of our male protagonists are most definitely questionable, but I fell in love with them regardless. The book comes with trigger warnings, so check those before embarking on the journey into this new world. There is plenty of extremely hot spice and adult language, so not suitable for a younger audience. I absolutely cannot wait for book two in the series. Love it!!!

Addendum 22nd May 2025 - just listened to the audiobook. Thoroughly enjoyed hearing the story brought to life

Was not at all sure what this was going to be like, but it has a great strong story in terms of the fantasy, and for the romancing. The sex was also well written and the sense of malice was a threat that simmered nicely below the surface. Every element of this books works well and I woudl highly recommend.

Captivating and not for prudes

I came across this author accidently and so glad I did, after finishing another of her series I went straight in to this one, for me they're so different to a lot of other fantasy/romantasy, I mean I like 99% of the ones I read or listen to but this author caught my attention and stands out, I was worried after how much I liked the previous series I might not like this as much but so far it hasn't disappointed, the story, world and characters are great, the banter has me chuckling, the twists are yummy, I love being kept on my toes, I'm now off to see the rest of this story before going through the rest of what this author has to offer, (as suggested check the trigger warnings though there are sensitive subjects included in the books)

Another great book,
