Graves by Katelyn Taylor
3.25
Graves is your typical dark romance, being a little lighter than some others I’ve read. Nothing about it really stood out to me aside from the love interests being brothers. The writing was decent and so was the smut. I think the brothers, for being morally gray, were extremely sweet; I especially loved how obsessed they were with her and how much they spoiled her. The plot was also decent.
As for my criticisms, there was nothing really special about Graves. Everything felt like it was inspired by other dark romances, and it was heavy on the tropes. It just felt like something was missing the entire time I read it. I feel as though I may forget about this book as soon as I’m done with reviews. Also, it was advertised to me as a stalker romance, but there really wasn’t much stalking at all, and we move past the stalking pretty quickly, with occasional mentions here and there. If you plan to read this, then definitely check your triggers because there is non-con in here from one of the MMCs and others.
Overall, it wasn’t a bad read. I actually found it quick and easy to get through when I shut my brain off and allowed it to take me along for the ride. I would recommend this if you’re in the mood for a typical dark romance/why choose and need something easy to read. I don’t recommend it if you’re used to DARK dark romances or looking for something deeper or want a stalker romance. I think I’ll give this one 3.25 stars.
