Interitus: A Dark Gothic Romantasy

by Ruby Roe

Four damned souls, two impossible bargains, and a romance powerful enough to topple the realms.

Mercedes Midnight should be dead.

Her year is up, her debt is owed, yet here she stands — alive, cursed, and crackling with demon magic she has no idea how to wield.

Lucy Corvine, the devil’s broken daughter, clawed her way out of a contract that was never supposed to break. Now she’s something the underworld doesn’t have a name for. Something her father will tear the realm apart to find.

When two angels crash into Ora City, the rules change overnight.

One wants to watch the realms burn.
One wants to save them.
No one is safe.

Reunited and running, Midnight and Lucy strike a new bargain: trust each other, no matter what crawls out of the dark. But trust is a brittle little thing. And every kiss in candlelit libraries hides a betrayal that could damn them both all over again.

There’s only one truth left… someone is lying.

Find out who — before they lose their city, their world, and their hearts.

Three realms. Two damned hearts. One final reaping.

This is the second (and final) book in a dark and very steamy lesbian demon romance featuring masc daddies, soul-reaping bargains, fallen angels, dark academia vibes, gothic battles, found family, morally grey heroines, betrayal, sapphic obsession, and a love that levels cities. 18+ readers only.

Reviews

[MJ · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book picks up right where we left off in Architecti (book one) and man it starts strong! Ruby definitely has a way of immediately sucking you right back into the story and world she’s created! Her descriptions are perfection and I can picture everything perfectly (even if I do have an unreasonable fear of moths 😂😂).

Mortem is such main character energy!! I love him so much 🤣

This book was such a gut punching emotion rollercoaster!! And I was here for the whole ride! I loved every second of it (even if I did curse Ruby a few times!) definitely get your tissues at the ready!!

Let’s discuss the spice….🫠
Considering this is a “slightly” slower burn than normal due to what happened in book one (iykyk), it sure didn’t feel that way!! The spice was spicing and it all came at the most perfect times (pun intended 😏). I don’t want to spoil anything but this is definitely MJ Spice Approved!! 🥵🔥

If you haven’t preordered this yet, what are you doing!! And if you haven’t read Architecti yet, I highly recommend! If you’re a Ruby fan or a fan of fantasy! It’s so good! 😍

Written in First Person with 3x POV’s. Age Gap (11 years), Dual Timelines, Masc/Femme, Second Chance, Revenge, Found Family. 7x Spicy Scenes.


Thank you to Ruby Roe and her team for sending me this ARC to read and review. Above are my own honest thoughts and opinions!
