Okay I L͟O͟V͟E͟D͟  this. The Graves brothers are 𝐇𝐎𝐓. 

First, Zayden sees Blake, becomes obsessed, and starts stalking her. When he goes to jail, he asks Dominic to keep her safe. But… 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜𝙨 𝙙𝙞𝙙 𝙣𝙤𝙩 𝙜𝙤 𝙖𝙨 𝙥𝙡𝙖𝙣𝙣𝙚𝙙 and Dom quickly falls for Blake too.

I’m not going to lie, at first I was like, Zayden is a no for me. How is Blake falling for this? But guess what. I completely fell for him too. It’s just that 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓇𝒾𝓈𝓂𝒶𝓉𝒾𝒸 𝓅𝓈𝓎𝒸𝒽𝑜 𝓈𝓉𝒶𝓁𝓀𝑒𝓇 𝒸𝒽𝒶𝓇𝓂, you can’t resist it forever! But I did love Dom the entire time!

This was such a quick read for me — I did the audio and it was fantastic! Definitely some dark themes, so paying attention to trigger warnings is important! But I completely loved it. And the spice with the brothers was 𝙚𝙭𝙘𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙚𝙣𝙩.

 4.75/5 What did I just read?! This book has everything from dark romance to stalker to MFM!! Blake, the FMC, did get to be a bit much at times. Zayden is the best psycho! Like I was giggling at times reading some of his parts. Dom is just the perfect crazy MMC and who doesn't love twins being with one girl?!

Wow! Graves by Katelyn Taylor was a powerful read, and I truly appreciated the author's upfront warning: "Protect yourself at all costs, no amount of good smut is worth your mental health." This immediately set the tone and underscored the mature themes within. While some elements weren't personally for me (and that's perfectly fine!), I don't feel they detracted from the overall plot. In fact, they helped flesh out the characters' complex personalities.

Blake's tragic past undoubtedly shaped her, yet as a character, I sometimes struggled to connect with her, despite enjoying her witty banter with the brothers. There were moments when her decisions left me questioning her sanity! Dom, however, quickly became my favorite. A brown-eyed sweetheart as a main character? Sign me up! Zayden took a bit longer to warm up to—around the 50% mark—but by the end, his motivations and personality began to click into place.

Ultimately, the trio's individual traumas are significant, but their coming together offers a unique form of healing. If you're considering Graves, proceed with caution, read those trigger warnings, and then be prepared for a wild ride!
