Twins, Tension, and a Troubling Obsession: A Review of “Graves” by Katelyn Taylor
Graves by Katelyn Taylor
18+ Contains Adult Content
Graves is a dark romance why choose romance, which follows Zayden and Dominic, who are twin brothers and Blake. Zayden sees Blake whilst he is lying on the floor after being shot, and thinks she looks like an angel. He then, after recovering, starts to watch over his “angel”, going as far as watching over her as she sleeps. Zayden will stop at nothing to make Blake his, but whilst protecting Blake, unbeknownst to her, Zayden gets arrested. He asks his brother to watch over her and keep her safe. To protect his girl. Dominic does, but falls in love and takes Blake as his own; he isn’t willing to let her go either. Zayden gets out of prison and is taking his girl back, even if it means going through his twin to get her.
My sight begins to dim as darkness begins to cloud over me. If I don’t make it out of this, at least I got a glimpse of an angel before I burn in hell. If I do, then that angel is mine.

Heart Eyes is a dark stalker romance that follows Kat & Liam. Fourteen years ago, Kat saved Liam, who at the time was a little boy, hungry, dirty and needing a friend.

Someone from their past, who knows what she did and wants her to pay. Liam will go to the ends of the earth to protect Kat, the girl who holds his heart.
‘He’s hot. He’ll happily chow until you wet his face, what more do you want?’
To fill the boy-shaped hole in my soul. To know what happened to him. Stuffing my fork into my food, I lift my fingers to the heart-shaped rock I wear on a cord around my neck. A gift from him. The dark-haired, dark-eyed, dirty-kneed, bruised boy whom I’d taken under my wing.

Lucky 14 by Alina May
18+ Contains Adult Content
Lucky 14 is book three in the Hunter’s Club series; they don’t have to be read in order. You will understand the side characters if you do, though. Lucky 14 follows Holli Oakley, Kyan & Wyatt. Holli, a therapist, has been kidnapped and brought to an Island with 30 other people. She has to survive for 14 days, whilst being hunted. Oakley is the reason Holli has been brought to the Island. He didn’t realise when he signed up and put Holli’s name down that he would be required to hunt and kill. Now Oakley needs to save himself & Holli. Kyan doesn’t know what is going on, but something strange is happening on the island, and now Oakley wants his help to save Holli, and Kyan can’t say no; they have a way of looking inside his soul and seeing things he doesn’t want them to see. Wyatt is the game master, and wants to know who has snuck people into his game. Who is trying to tear down everything he has built? He will find out, even if it means no one survives the game.
Anger makes me tighten my fist. Not good enough to take part in their bullshit little club? I’ll show her. “I can handle it.” “You won’t even fight for your…” she hesitates, “partner. What makes you think you can handle this?” “Fight for her? I’d kill for her!” The words come out in an angry burst, but I realize I meant every word. I’d kill for Poppy.

Fuckinghell. This little demon is beautiful. My fingers itch to crawl inside her skin, to wear her flesh like a suit. I know she’d be warm and cosy, like a soft blanket.You can’t turn people into blankets, Silas.
