Gods and Graves
What do you do when you have no identity, no name, no past? You create one.
For as long as I can remember, I’ve been trapped in a minuscule room. All I know is the monotonous routine of reaping souls and then returning to my prison. And pain. Lots of pain.
Everything changes when I’m compelled to reap the souls of an elite supernatural warrior team.
Krystian, the flirty elf hiding dark secrets.
Zaid, the sweet wraith who deteriorates all of my defenses, one carefully selected word at a time.
Rafael, the psychotic blood fae who wishes to possess and claim me.
And Everett, the ornery leader of the group, hiding away a lethal monster.
Imagine my surprise when they’re the first beings in centuries who can actually see me. Hear me. Feel me. Somehow, I’m a real girl again, in a real body, with real emotions.
And what happened to me? Apparently, that’s not normal.
Who locked me away for all these years and why? If I’m not a reaper, then…what am I?
One thing’s for certain—the gods are playing dangerous games with our lives, and if we’re not smart about our next step, we’ll end up in the grave.
Gods and Graves is a standalone paranormal romance from USA Today and Amazon top 50 author Katie May. Within these pages, expect to see Greek mythology, possessive (and psychotic) love interests, a crazy FMC alive for the first time in centuries, and a plot that will keep you hooked until the very last page.

3.5 stars.
I think it’s probably the slump I’m in, but I was just getting bored towards the end. Not enough relationship development, too much quest for answers that I didn’t really care about.
*sigh*
That’s definitely the slump talking.😂
It wasn’t a bad book. I actually did like it. I just didn’t love it and my mood is weighing pretty heavily on my book standards right now.

This was goodish, but it would have been better as a duet. It's probably my fault, but I didn't realize this was a standalone until I was about halfway through this book. I was like, why is this moving SO fast? All of the characters are saying ily by like halfway through the book. There was one character who "hated" her for about 1 day. But, I do understand it's a standalone so they couldn't really draw out the slow-burn for a reverse harem in one book.
The FMC is definitely intended to be a bit like Paca in the Dark Side Series by Kristy Cunning. At the start of the book, it's actually almost TOO similar to that series. She's pretty funny, and honestly, this is the type of psycho hilarious FMC that I like. However, she stopped being funny about 40% into the book, which was a bit of a bummer.
The ending tied everything together nicely. It's a good twist of events and the plot is definitely good. I was just a bit underwhelmed by the romance because it was so rushed. I liked it, but it moves too quick and would have been better as a duet.

3.25 ⭐️/2.5 🌶️—This reminded me a lot of Kristi Cunning’s The Dark Side series. It was an enjoyable read, but very short and not a part of a series. I felt like it rushed what could have been a more interesting storyline across multiple books. Trigger warning.

Cute quick read! Was not super engaged with the plot that reality was lost & only living thru this book, but the characters were holding their own! Love the dialogue witty/cheesy/cute& steamy!!!!! No grammatical errors which is always a plus! The story flowed for most part! Felt more like was told what to feel and what is happening not showing us how it is unfolding! So the structure was a bit mechanical at times, but still liked it overall & the FMC did have backbone standing up for herself & her men along with some great one liners! Definitely can sense some connection loved that! It was good not great! Obviously loved the supernatural romance trope reverse haram the best!

Thea is my BABY😭💓💌❤️. I love her so much. She is adorable, precious, wholesome, and my new obsession. She deserves all the love in the world from her men 🤍❤️💗💌💖, especially considering she has been alone for years as a reaper. APHRODITE, when I catch you. Thea deserved so much more time with her guys, and it breaks my heart that she had to remember something so traumatic in the process. ARES, ROT IN TARTARUS. It is also disappointing that the guys will never remember or hold onto those memories. But it is okay, because they will create new ones. And those new memories will be just as powerful.
[Krystian]
My light and dark elf 💖❤️🤍💌. I love how he embraced both sides of himself, even though it took a little nudge from Thea to realize that he and Krys were one and the same. He would never harm her, and he was never truly a bad person. All of his tendencies were still him, he had just been so conflicted that he split into two separate entities. But in reality, they were one and the same. He was flirty, charming, and openly embraced the chance to get to know her. Out of everyone, he was the first one who was completely all in 🤍❤️💗💌.
[Zaid]
MY SOFTIE. 💖❤️🤍💌 He blushes at everything and is soft and gentle with her. He loves to read, he is smart, and he was always a calming and reassuring presence. He guided them, kept them on track with their mission to protect her, and always had his priorities straight. He waited for her 💌💖❤️💓🤍. He was never with anyone else because, deep down, he felt like he already belonged to someone. And that someone was her.
[Rafe]
MY BABY ❤️💓💌🤍. The unhinged king who got her a bouquet made of the fingers of all the men who had harmed her. He is also a complete sucker for safewords, bondage, and degradation. I love this man. He has a way with words… YEAH ❤️💌💗. He is the one no one thought would be capable of feeling, yet he feels the most—and he feels it hard. He was obsessed with her and could not resist the pull, even if he did not quite understand what he was feeling.
[Everett]
TEDDY BEAR. 🤍❤️💗💌💖 He is the biggest softie at his core and a total sweetheart. He pushed her away and acted like a complete grump because he did not want her to come between him and the group, but really he just hated how much she affected him. In the end, he was willing to confront his father for her and protect her, whatever the cost.

Her parents being Hades and Persephone brought me such a sense of peace, because now she will never have to suffer again with them at her side. I have no doubt her parents will be ruthless if anyone ever tries to take Thea away from them again. Now Thea can finally be happy and at peace as a reaper with her guys. I loved this book 🤍💖. It was the perfect balance of wholesome moments and strong plot, and it was always clear they were going to find their way back to each other.

Cute
This was a fast paced book and I liked it. Usually I read series because reverse harem stories seem to need more than one book to develop the plot and characters well. But I felt like the author did a really good job on all of that and putting all in one book. Thea was funny. The guys all had their personalities and they meshed well with Thea. The plot moved well. There were nice surprises. Overall I give this book an A+! Good job Ms. May!

This got me in all the feels. I absolutely devoured this book and loved every word. It’s unique, passionate, romantic, suspenseful and so well written. For anyone that loves stories about ancient gods that are RH with plenty of of spice and some unhinged men, with a stellar FMC this is it!

4 ⭐️ (just)
I’m giving this one 4 stars but it definitely deserves a reread. I read it while in a lot of back pain and dealing with a family emergency in the hospital, so I was reading more for distraction than for full immersion. Even so … I loved the premise. Which is about an FMC who is trapped for centuries, suddenly freed and tangled up with a psychotic, possessive group of four supernatural men. Their dynamic was awesome and chaotic in the best way. The whole thing was dark, twisted and addictive. I do wish it had been a bit longer and more fleshed out but that might be down to my headspace at the time. I’ll definitely pick it up again when I can really savour it.

Wow! Amazing!
Another amazing read from Katie May. Thea immediately pulls you into her story with her innocence and quirky personality. I also love the widely different personalities between the guys. The story will take you on an adventure to find out who's responsible for everything that's happening. I loved the storyline and justice at the end. Would definitely recommend grabbing a copy and plan a few hours to just dive in uninterrupted.

I really enjoyed this book.
Thea was an incredibly hilarious character with her inner commentary & even her outward remarks.
Having been in a bit of a painful loop for quite a long, long time, she desperately wishes she could escape.
And one fateful night leads her right into the path of four men who unknowingly helps her break free.
What follows was Thea in all of her chaos & adorableness experiencing the world she’d been hidden from.
The four men, warriors, are determined to help her find out who she is & what happened to her. Which only leads to meeting Gods & Goddesses whilst fighting to survive.
I really enjoyed the characters in this book. Obviously Thea was my fave, like I said her commentary was too hilarious.
But those men were ::chef’s kiss:: perfection.
Each uniquely different but just right for her.
That twist at the end was definitely not expected but man was it crazy.
This was such a good book & I highly recommend it.

As usual Katie May humor is clearly seen throughout the book. The FMC is hilarious and her sassy witty comments had me roaring and crying with laughter. It definitely kept me entertained.
Surprising twist and turn has you wanting to keep turning the pages. I can’t believe Katie wrote this in 6 days. Thoroughly funny, entertaining and attention grabbing. Keep you riveted. Katie definitely has an all consuming way with words. Her descriptions are fantastic and sends you into a vivid world of imagination.
Where does she come up with such ideas and stories. Love, love her style of writing.
So good. Hilarious, quirky and hits all the right spots. Enjoyable read and I inhaled it in a day. Enjoy this book very much couldn’t stop reading
You will love it. Katie has outdone herself. I love Thea sense of humor too and all the MMC but especially Zaid and Rafe. 💜💜💜💜
Make sure you all run and get it!! 😁

Love Thea and her men!
I was surprised by some of it. Laughed at a lot of it. And genuinely enjoyed all of it.
This is a book that has a lot of spice while still being heavily plot driven. It was a new take on the Greek Pantheon. I definitely recommend reading and enjoying! (Rafe might be my new book BF.) ;)

loved!
This was such a great standalone! I loved the concept of the gods/godesses and trying to figure out who was behind it all. I loved our FMC, Thea she was so funny and great. Katie has an amazing way of writing characters that are not used to things and making it funny instead of making them seem naive. The MMCs are also great, I loved all the personalities. Grumpy, unhinged, sweet, smart, etc. I hope we get to see more from this world.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5

gods and graves
This book took me a little longer to read than most. I did find some parts to drag a little but overall the story is very good. Though she never did introduce her men to her cacti, after reducing her from the room… was it left behind? No clue. In the end it was worth the time to see Thea and her men get the HEA they deserve.

Absolutely Superb!
Katie May has once again created a wonderful story, intense characters, and a fantastic world for them. It's a new spin on Greek gods manipulating things behind the scenes.
Thea is a slightly insane FMC due to solitary confinement for over 400 years. The only time she could leave was when she was forced to reap souls, and then she was dragged back to her prison. Until something unexpected happened.
Do be aware that there is a flashback to some intense trauma.
Overall, I'm probably going to read this book again soon.

beyond impressed
Katie wrote this book in 6 days!!!! 6 days! And I loved everything about it. I laughed out loud! I teared up!!! I raged a bit! I felt all the feels. These characters were each so unique in their own way and the FMC is all the things I love about an FMC! The men were drool worthy and OTT in the best way! Hoping we see more of the characters esp a certain goddess who deserves good things!!!

Interesting story but too similar to Kristy Cunnings Dark Side series. Since this was a standalone it was insta love and insta lust. Had a good amount of action and kept me entertained. Everything was a little too convenient though.

I don't usually like Greek Mythology themed stories, but this was kind of fun. The fact the FMC is a Reaper, lost her memories, and gains a harem of super attractive men pretty much sold me.
Quite the man buffet with this group.
Krystian is the flirty elf with a secret dark side.
Zaid is the sweet golden retriever wraith.
Rafael is the psychotic and overly possessive blood Fae.
Then there is Everett, the emotionally closed of leader who shifts into a deadly beast.
Definitely some insta love between most of the group when they first meet. But it all makes sense once the ending is revealed. Not gonna lie, I was definitely a little icked out with chapter 42. Didn't really see that coming.

Idc what anyone else says. I loved this book. Yeah it’s instalust. Whatever. The way the story rolls out it just works.
And sometimes I am just in the mood for a no drama (no OW no OM NO BULLYING) relationship book. 😤
There. I said it. 🤣 There is a teeny bit of a grumpy asshole but even he quickly shows he isn’t immune to the fmc.
This is a fast read. Standalone. HEA. Cleansed my eyes from some books that burned them recently. 😆
Probably could have been a bit more spicy but in all honestly I enjoyed the story enough that I didn’t miss it.
I hope she revisits these characters. I honestly fell in love with them all!
KU
Standalone.
HEA
RH no MM or FF
No OW/OM drama

2.5 rounded up.
The beginning was good and funny, then it became a bit boring (even the spicy part, most of which were useless and stopped the plot) and finally the resolution happened quickly without much hurdles.

Such a Fun Read
This was such a great standalone story! I really enjoyed the humour and interesting characters. The plot was unique and I’m always a sucker for a different take on the Gods.
The trigger warnings let’s you know there will be some heavy moments up ahead, but it still caught me off guard and I really felt for Thea and the trauma she endured.
Speaking of Thea, she is a wonderful FMC managing to be both naive and tough at the same time. She is written with depth and great dialogue. I enjoyed her men and their obsession with her, I always love a slightly unhinged character.
I truly enjoyed this incredible palette cleanser!

Loved this Book! 😍😍
This was an amazing standalone book! ❤ I love that Katie kept to some of the stories about the gods in her book but I liked the twist on some of the other gods goddesses in it. Thea and her men are a great team and explosive as romantic partners. 💕 If you are looking for a fun and great story I highly recommend this one! 😍

after coming off of reading 𝑻𝒐𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒐𝒇 𝑶𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒐𝒏 and 𝑫𝒆𝒔𝒆𝒓𝒕 𝑰𝒔𝒍𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑫𝒖𝒆𝒕, this book felt like a good mix of both. this is a fast paced instalove/instalust standalone with the added mix of supernaturals and Gods/Goddesses that made it an intriguing story. Thea is hilarious with no filter and i was honestly surprised that all 4 guys didn’t blend together in my brain since this was such a quick story and they each had their own personalities. the twists and reveals were a little bit predictable but the overall story was enjoyable.

This was exactly what I needed. A super easy read that was full of love, but also had character development, relationship development and a plot.
Zaid, Krystian, Everett and Rafe were all their own characters, especially Krystian. They all felt different, Zaid being super sweet, Krystian being fun and flirty, Everett being protective and kind, and Rafe being hard but loving in his own way.
The plot was really good considering it's a standalone. I guess when you don't need a bunch of pointless cliffhangers, it's easier to actually just write a story that doesn't feel full of plot holes.
I always like Katie May's characters so it's not surprising this is another great book.

I loved this story. I liked Thea's character. She's funny with a side of crazy. All her men are great, each with there own personalities. I really enjoyed the plot with the twists. The only thing that would make this book awesome would be, in my opinion, it should be a duet. I think the whole book was rushed. Overall it was a good read.

The phenomenal Katie May has written another gem. Powerful storytelling at its best! Creative plot matched with compelling characters. It immediately grabs hold and doesn't let go! God's and Graves is one I will come back to time and time again!
