It took me an incredibly long time to read this book. I can't even remember when I started it, but I'm glad I finally read it. Although "glad" is absolutely the wrong word, because the story was absolutely insane. In a good or bad way? I don't know, probably both. Would I still read it again? Definitely. Graves was one of my first dark romance books that truly was dark romance (in my opinion). I am at a loss of words and very curious to see which dark romance book I'll read next. PS. Please check the Trigger Warnings before reading this book
They said I’d be safe in Seattle. They didn’t warn me about the twins. Obsessed twins. A love triangle built on trauma, danger, and desire. This book was unhinged, in the best way. When Blake moves to Seattle to escape her past, she never expects to get caught in the gravitational pull of the Graves twins. Zayden, intense and obsessive, and Dominic, his smoother, calculated counterpart. What starts as protection spirals into dark attraction, twisted devotion, and a dangerous game of “why choose?” This isn’t a soft romance. It’s chaotic, addictive and a true taboo dark romance. The spice? Wild. (Twins double the pleasure 😉). Yes, it’s a little insane, but it's exactly what we love about dark romance, right? It wasn’t a personal favorite or standout, but I definitely enjoyed the ride. It’s messy, and full of morally gray characters doing morally questionable things. If you’re into possessive men and high-stakes heat, Graves might just ruin you a little, in the best way.
It was actually really good, and I loved every single page of the book. From the very beginning, it pulled me in and didn’t let me go. I loved both brothers so much, but I have to admit, Zayden completely stole my heart a little more. There’s just something about him — the way he acts, the way he feels, his depth — that made him unforgettable. Blake was such a great female protagonist. I adored her character — strong, gorgeous, and with a personality that felt real and raw. She wasn’t perfect, and that made her even better. I liked how she handled everything that came her way; she had this quiet strength that made me root for her through the whole story. The chemistry between Blake and the brothers was just chef’s kiss. The tension, the emotions, the little moments — everything felt so well-written. The spice was mostly fine for me, except for one scene that wasn’t totally my thing, but overall it fit the story and the characters well. And oh my god, that epilogue. For a second I swear I had half a heart attack — I was not ready for that emotional rollercoaster. It wrapped things up in such a satisfying way but still left me sitting there, completely speechless, thinking about the story long after finishing it. Overall, Graves was an amazing read — emotional, intense, and beautifully written. Definitely one of those books that stays with you even after you turn the last page.
This series is soooo hard to rate! The story was definitely super interesting. And it could be that my expectations are simply higher than for other authors because I love Kingsley's villain MMCs SO much. Raphael definitely felt less villainous, monstrous and insane than some of her other MMCs. Well... at times. The fact that he was back to being a nice, normal human at the end, and especially didn't even remember what happened while he was somewhat "possessed", makes a big difference to me. I didn't expect that. I don't mind though, I liked the ending. I'm also glad that her brother was not saved, too, because after all this, that would've just felt unrealistic. In the end, I like Raphael as a character, but I didn't love him. I think my biggest critique point is that the book was packed too tight with action. Emma really stumbled from one miserable situation to the next. A nice breather where she just felt safe and okay with Raphael for a short while would've been nice. Though there were few moments like that, they just felt very short. In the end, I did enjoy the story a lot either way. It was a very wild ride and I really felt relieved with how nice and comfortable the ending felt.
