ARC Read: Amazingly beautiful is what this book is. Meg did such an amazing Job with Graves and it was so worth the wait. I cannot put into words how this book captures your soul and when I say you feel it all, you feel every single thing. Riley, Creed & Collins just sweep you off your feet. You can’t help but to fall in love with every part of them. You root for them hoping they find their way through all the trauma and pain. That they find their way back to each other. This emotional journey was everything and then some. I found myself holding my breath, giggling, and the tears, the tears came. And the spice was the perfect amount and soooooo good. I’d give it infinity stars if I could. Meg is such an amazing talented writer and I just love how you can feel how much she’s poured in to these phenomenal stories and the characters.
I really did almost throw my kindle at the wall after reading this prologue but I kept going because I knew Meg wouldn’t hurt me. I was wrong. She hurt me but ended up piecing me back together and healed the hurt far better than I ever could’ve expected!!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 📚 Second Book in "The Dark Sins Duet" 📕 First Book: Creed Must Read In Order 🗣️ Multiple POV's 🖤 Throuple 💥 Check Those Trigger Warnings!
Damn I wish this could have been my first read of the year, cause it would have started the tone Buutttt you win some, you loose some....but I mean honestly, I knew this was going to be a 5 star from the first time that I read a Meg Eliza book. She never disappoints and is a 1 click author for me. I found Meg's book Creed though one of the facebook book groups ~2yrs ago, gave it a whirl and have been obsessively stalking her instagram [in the most loving way] ever since waiting for Graves to come out.
Because this is a Duet, you do need to read Creed first, but i'm telling you its no hardship. If you dont believe me, check out my review linked above and find out why ive been obsessed with Meg's writing ever since.
Meg writes her books with so much depth, care, yearning, and emotion that you cant help but be hooked. Graves is absolutely no different, and dare I say maybe even more emotional than her previous books due to the circumstances that Collins [FMC], Riley [MMC], and Creed [MMC] have found themselves in after the cliffhanger that we are left with in the first book. I mean its incredibly traumatizing, and Meg drags your heart through the coals with that endings...
Graves picks up where book one left off and the prologue is immediately gut wrenching...I was literally 3mins into the book and already my anxiety was through the roof. Its a slow and agonizing process watching Collins and Riley heal both mentally and physically, but its also just as hard on Creed watching the people he loves go through this and being so damn helpless to fix it for them.
I dont want to give anything away, because this book DESERVES to be read [devoured really...lets be honest] spoiler free. BUCKLE UP, this is going to be one hell of a ride...But worth it in every single way
Thank you Meg for allowing me to ARC read this beautiful book, and I cannot wait to read more from you.

I am obsessed. Riley Benjamin Graves will live rent free in my heart for the rest of my life 🥹
I seriously almost threw my Kindle at the wall after the prologue but I had to keep going because I KNEW that there was SO much more to this story then I ever could have expected.
Riley and Collins go through some serious trauma and my heart broke for them. But thank god they had their boy Creed to literally help heal their souls because that man is literally an angel on earth. Fear, Trauma, Sadness and so much more come through all three of these character but the amount of healing they do together? SO epic. I love this little thruple more than anything 🩷
Of course there was scenes that had me absolutely sweating and we're just off the charts spicy 🥵 Riley Graves is such a gooood boy.... can you tell I'm obsessed with all things Ri?
All in all this book was ♾️⭐'s for me and will be a favourite for life
WHAT A BANGER FOR THE FIRST BOOK OF THE YEAR! First off, let me express my gratitude to Meg for trusting to edit her baby for her. It was an honor and pleasure to edit such a phenomenal book. Now let’s get into it.
Creed (book 1) was a great book, but Graves…I honestly am jumbled for words to describe how much I loved it. It was a healing journey for everyone, myself included. The trials, terrors, and PTSD that Riley, Collins, and Creed went through was heartbreaking. But what I loved about it so much was that these characters didn’t give 50/50, they gave 100/100. When one fell, two picked them up. When two fell, one balanced them, perfectly. When they all fell, they all fell together and rose together. The weight they all carried after trauma was certainly heavy, but never too heavy for 3.
Yall, this book made me cry real tears. I felt everything they felt. One part in particular resonated with me so deeply as a chronic sad girl that I could hold it in. It feels liberating to be seen and understood. And that’s what I felt while reading Graves. Did I finish Graves, or did Graves finish me? Oh, and Sleep Token fans will love all the nods to the band!
I hope everyone will give The Dark Sins Duet a read. Start with Creed before Graves.

ahhhhh my babiesss!! man this was a rough ride but i love how meg took us along thru their healing journey & figuring stuff out together! & the acceptance that comes from being loved after living trauma!! so amazing!! can't wait for more from any of meg's universe!!
ARC Review: I can’t believe I was lucky enough to receive an ARC for GRAVES! Thank you Meg!
I was hooked on Creed, Collins and Riley from book one, but this sequel? Amazing and Addictive. I needed to know how their story ended—and I could not put it down.
Meg Eliza knows how to break you down, build you up, and leave you thinking about these characters long after the last page. 🖤
This is a dark romance, but the darker elements are woven into the story rather than existing for shock value. Every difficult moment has emotional weight and purpose. If you’re cautious with dark romance (like me) but still want dip your toes in - CREED and GRAVES are where to start.
Two quotes without spoilers that gave me all the feels while reading.
“Show me where you think he ruined you, and I’ll show you a fucking masterpiece.”

🎵 𝗠𝗬 𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪 🎵
Our characters experienced so much trauma, both mentally and physically. The road to healing for each of them was tough but as heartbreaking as it was, their healing journeys were also beautiful.
While these characters were healing and trying to overcome their shared traumas, they were also falling in love. The slow evolution of each relationship was so well crafted. I loved getting to experience those moments with individual couples as well as with all of them present. The revelations and declarations in this book were tear jerkers every single time.
𝘾𝙝𝙖𝙧𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙚𝙧𝙨…
Creed St. James was still the tattooed alpha we knew and loved but more than that, he made sure his people felt loved and cherished every single day. His willingness to be so loud about his love was his best attribute, in my opinion.
Collins was an absolute force. She remained so strong and kept wearing her heart on her sleeve even after unimaginable things happened to her. Her ability to push through mental and physical pain was truly incredible.
If you asked me who I thought my favorite character in this duet would be… I would have said Riley from the moment he appeared. Something about a quiet, soft man who’s also kind of a badass… Perfection. He was such a unique and relatable character, too.
Also - I refuse to believe he had any flaws and I will take no criticisms. 🙂
The supporting characters in this book were phenomenal, too. Everyone had such an integral part in helping these three heal from their trauma and making them feel like they could thrive again.
𝙁𝙞𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙩𝙝𝙤𝙪𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨…
After the cliffhanger that was Creed, I didn’t know if I would be ready for Graves and what fate it might bring for a certain drummer. And truthfully, when characters are as wonderful as these, it’s hard to imagine the end of their story at all.
I cried a lot of tears reading this book… both sad tears and happy tears. In a way, it felt like I was healing and falling in love right alongside these characters. I certainly wasn’t prepared for the end or saying goodbye to them but I have a feeling this duet is going to be one that lives permanently on my list of favorites.

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Spice: 🌶���🌶️🌶️.5
Oh Meg, Ma’am. You got me. Was I crying like a baby? Yes. Did I need to be? That’s for you to read and find out. My goodness did I love this book 😭 I’ve been waiting for close to two years for this amazing duet to be complete. Did our beautiful Meg leave us on a gasp inducing cliffy?! YES. Was it worth the wait? YES! I devoured every second of Graves and still wanted more. How do I review a book that made me feel every emotion without ruining its perfection? I can’t, so here are my feels.
You MUST read Creed before you read Graves. You’re absolutely going to WANT to read Creed because it’s such a great book! I read it the first time in November of 2024, and I thought about it WEEKLY (if not daily 😅) until I was able to get my grubby paws on Graves. It’s THAT good. Graves picks up slightly before Creed ends. We get the alternate perspective of what was going down. It’s rough, it’s emotional, it’s hard, but it’s worth all the pain.
This story has A LOT of trauma, recovery, healing, backsliding, growth, and rebirth that happens. It is such an emotionally charged read. And yet, it is so cleansing. I did indeed feel all the feels throughout the story. It had me crying, laughing, swooning, on the edge of my seat (for multiple reasons…), and just completely enthralled the entire time. Meg Eliza is a hell of a writer. There isn’t one word she’s put on paper (in two novels and two novellas) that I haven’t absolutely fallen for the story and the characters. I need everyone to read her words because goatdamn are they powerful!
I am so incredibly grateful to be part of Meg’s street team. It is such a joy to support this amazingly talented human, along with some of the kindest and most loving people out there. I will forever be singing Meg’s praises. So if you are looking for a book, a duet, that will make you feel, get you out of a reading slump you may be in, or just want to read an incredible story? This is it. The Dark Sins Duet: Creed and Graves. These books may end, but they will live with you forever.

Did I finish this book… or did this book finish me?
📚 Graves by Meg Eliza Series: Dark Sins Duet book two Genre: Dark rockstar why choose romance Vibes: trauma and healing, hurt comfort, throuple devotion, found family, emotional destruction
If Creed broke you, Graves drags you through the wreckage and forces you to sit in the aftermath.
This picks up immediately after that cliffhanger. No breathing room. No gentle easing in. The prologue alone had my anxiety spiking.
What makes this unforgettable:
🖤 Trauma recovery handled with raw emotional depth 🎙️ Rockstar chaos contrasted with intimate healing moments 💔 PTSD, fear, and mental battles that feel painfully real 🔥 Possessive devotion that shifts into protective softness 🤍 A throuple dynamic built on 100 out of 100 effort
This is not just dark romance. This is survival. Watching Collins and Riley fight their way back mentally and physically is agonizing. And Creed? Watching him be helpless while the two people he loves suffer is its own kind of heartbreak.
What I loved most is that no one gives half. When one falls, the other two carry them. When two crumble, the third steadies them. And when all three are drowning, they drown together and claw their way back together.
It is heavy. It is triggering. It is emotional in a way that sneaks up and punches you in the chest.
There is a specific scene that hit me so deeply I had to put the book down. That chronic sadness feeling of wanting to be understood? This book sees it. And it gives you characters who fight to understand each other fully.
The hurt comfort. The devotion. The you saved me energy. The healing that feels earned.
And yes, the emotional callbacks and music nods? Perfect.
If you are going to read this duet, you must start with Creed. And then buckle up. Because Graves is not just a conclusion. It is a reckoning.
💬 Do you love romances that focus heavily on healing after trauma, or do you prefer the angst without the aftermath?
This book is going to give you ALL the feels! Graves is the second book in the Dark Sins duet, and man oh man… right from the prologue, you get sucked in and feel all the emotions. I shed SO MANY tears! These three have been through so much, mentally and physically, and my heart just broke for everything they endured.
What I really appreciated was how mature these characters were despite the trauma they faced. It was handled with so much thought and care, and I definitely noticed and appreciated that choice on Meg’s part as the author. Despite the traumatic events, this relationship shows what a healthy partnership can look like, and how love can survive and thrive when there’s open communication and a safe environment. I was honestly incredibly impressed by this.
This was absolutely brilliant, and I highly recommend you add it to your TBR. Creed, Riley, and Collins deserve all the love and happiness in the world. Absolutely loved this book!
OMG…. Chills absolute freaking chills!! I cannot stress anyone enough to read this duet I red creed back in sept 2025 I went in blind not knowing there was a cliffhanger and that there was a book 2 that was coming out so I read it finished it and blew my mind absolutely fell in love with the characters the story and the plot and just the writing in general! So color me shocked when I learned I had to wait to get the ending for these sweet babies that lived rent free in my mind daily! I couldn’t wait for Graves to come out to finish this story and for creed and Riley and Collin’s to get the happily ever after they deserve for all the crap they went through together an in the past before coming together! Both creed and graves had me in tears the love and the chemistry the way creed and Collin’s an Riley all feel for each other and how hard they fight for each other you just feel it while reading. The relationship between the three while also each having their own special connection with each other (Collin’s and Riley , Riley and creed , and Collin’s and creed ) Graves was an emotional roller coaster through all the ups and downs you just are there rooting for these guys. And god don’t get me started on the spice ahhhh absolutely perfect and HOT!!!! I can’t say enough amazing things about this duet the most easy 5 ⭐️ read I fell in love with these books and will never not recommend so worth the wait
📖𝗥𝗘𝗩𝗜𝗘𝗪📖 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 𝗙𝗠𝗖: Collins / Stardust / Snow 𝗠𝗠𝗖: Creed St. James 𝗠𝗠𝗖: Riley Benjamin Graves
Ohhhhh my sweet Meg, you did it! You gave these three the journey to unconditional love that they all deserve. This was a beautiful story of healing together, and navigating how differently people handle trauma. No two are the same, and seeing Collins and Riley hold so tight to one another during this story was beautiful.
Even when times got hard, and running felt like the best option — they stayed true to themselves, and their love for each other.
Our poor Creed, we see him love these two through everything they’ve endured. Unconditionally. But we also see him struggle with learning how to navigate being there for both of them.
I loved watching them explore their relationship as a group, but also their individual relationships amongst themselves. This was a beautiful ending to their story.
Meg pretty much gutted me with the first line of this book. That prologue haunted me the whole way through, but OMG, I loved every second it! I fell head over heels in love with Creed, Collins, and Riley in book one, and this book just took that love to another level. This is a very character-driven story, and much of it focuses on their healing journey, both together and as individuals. The way they all navigate their trauma with unconditional love and support for one another was so powerful. I felt all the feels with this one.
My favorite thing about this book was Creed and Riley's relationship. The way it slowly progressed into more was EVERYTHING I wanted and needed. All three of them together are so hot and so perfect, but there was just something so captivating about the guys, and it made me so giddy!
This book is a beautiful, emotional journey. These characters have my whole entire heart, and I will never forget them. I could seriously read about their everyday life together forever.
Thank you Meg for this ARC. I have seriously been 𝘥𝘺𝘪𝘯𝘨 for this book, and it delivered. This duet is now an all-time favorite for me.
From the moment I started it to when I finished it, it consumed my entire brain. Walking around a decor store today I was thinking about going home and getting back to these characters. 28 hours it took me to start and finish this book. I tried I really tried to savour it, but CREED was top of my list when I read it shortly after it released, and I couldn’t wait for this after the brutal cliffhanger ending.
No spoilers :
This was everything I wanted and needed for these characters. I didn’t just fall in love with the 3 MC’s, I fell in love with the side characters too - wanna know why? Because Meg is an amazing author. The way she writes is as simple as having a normal conversation with a fiend. She pulls the emotions out of you with descriptions, and its so effortlessly done. You connect with the characters on so many levels, some you don’t even realize you will relate to. Its admirable.
I cried, teared up a LOT, I was crashing out a few times and I honestly welcome that when I read books. This is a journey of healing, love and found family with some pretty hot smut scenes. Que me fanning myself with a piece of paper thinking about them right now 😂 fuck it’s hot in here guys. 🥵
I’m so sad that it’s over but I’m SO happy with how things ended. Couldn’t be more perfect. 🖤 🥁 ✨ 🎤 ❄️
Second book in the Dark Sins Duet, continues Collins, Creed & Riley’s story.
This book! I’m speechless. The prologue made me cry and my crying didn’t stop there. Emotional roller coaster from start to finish.
This book was so heartbreaking, but at the same time a beautiful story of healing and overcoming trauma. The feelings of the characters, their grief and pain, felt so real. I loved how they were able to heal together and help each other through everything.
The prologue scared me (lol) and I was anxiously waiting what’s going to happen throughout the whole book.
Collins, Creed & Riley were truly perfect for each other and their story is so beautiful.
I highly recommend checking out this duet!
“You left me when I needed you most.” “You want the motherfucker’s body set on fire? We’ll give you the match and watch it all burn with you.” “Can you imagine being kept from the person you love when you’re so desperate to see them again?” “I was only half-joking before, but I’m so writing you dirty love letters now.” “I’m going to combust if I have to listen to you two and not at least get to watch.” “Things feel good right now, and that scares me. Because the last time I felt like this, it was all ripped away.” “To know you is to love you,”
I received an ARC of this book and I am voluntarily leaving a review. Receiving ARC didn’t affect my opinion of the book.
I'm not sure I've ever looked forward to a release so much in my life. From the moment I finished Creed I have been desperate to get back to these characters, and honestly? It was absolutely worth the wait.
Perfection doesn't even begin to cover it. These characters have my total heart and soul. I've cried with them (a lot), laughed with them and Gods have I felt the heat with them - Pheewww. Graves has been an absolute emotional tsunami that's had me wrapped in trauma, grief, but most importantly unconditional love and boundless devotion.
If emotions were a song, Meg Eliza would be a lyrical genius. Her words are sensitive, smart and aware, allowing you to create a real bond with each one of her characters. I think its fair to say it’s rare to find a book, particularly with the why choose trope, that you wholeheartedly love each of the characters without having a favourite (be honest!). Meg has achieved that. Creed, Riley and Collins are all parts of the same whole, each complimenting the other effortlessly. They're all so easy to love and empathise with - which all down to the beautiful job done by the author. Just pure talent.
The Dark Sins Duet and its characters will always hold a very special place in my heart and on my shelves. If you haven't picked it up yet, go grab Creed - NOW!!
This book was a journey! Ironically, it was exactly one year ago when I read Creed for the first time and was left gutted and in shock after that cliffhanger. Creed quite literally took a piece of my soul and held it until I got this beautiful little ARC in my inbox.
I LOVED this book despite my heart being in my throat while reading it the entire time. Also, moment of silence for all the grey hairs I just earned after reading the end of this book too. Not cool, Meg. Not cool! This book is slow in the best possible way. It was deliberate, emotional and so damn GOOD! It also addresses a LOT of traumas. There were so many times in this book where I was tearing up and wanting to hug Collins or Riley and even Creed. This is one of those duets that leaves a lasting impression on your soul. It's not a read it and forget it book, it's a book that takes pieces of your heart and the characters tattoo their names so it will never be forgotten.
Well done, Meg! Bravo! This was worth the agonizing year long wait and I absolutely CANNOT wait to add this beauty to my shelf. I will forever recommend that my friends buckle up and dive into this duet because it will wreck you in the best way.
#Rockstar Romance #MFM #Captivity #Trauma #Soul Stealing Story
Graves is a reminder that love does not erase trauma, but it can give you somewhere safe to land. Collins, Creed, and Riley are shaped by everything they have endured, yet they refuse to face it alone. Despite the pain they carry, they find safety in each other when the world has given them very little. Creed protects with his whole heart, tough on the outside but deeply gentle with the people he loves. Riley grows into someone strong and confident despite everything he’s been through, and Collins’s strength holds them all together, even when she feels worn down.
Meg is an amazing author. She knows how to tell a story that sticks with you, Creed and Graves are definitely going to be one of my all-time favorite duets ❤️
I was patiently waiting for book 2 of this duet during to the horrific cliffy of Creed. If you have not read the first book stop reading and read the first book. This starts when they are taken and you see more of the end of their captivity but also what Creed and Ash were doing trying to find them. You also see more of Riley and his thoughts. Thrust first 30% of this book had me in chockehold with the emotional and tense atmosphere of them being saved. The rest of the book is just about how they all heal. I loved seeing how imperfect healing physically and mentally can be. But I will say got me this book did not need to be this long. Alot of their inner thoughts and then talks were the same thing over and over again. Then we would time jump a little bit. I loved Creed being there in whatever fashion they needed and how their throple solidified. I did love how Riley and Collins turned their scars into power. And you see they still struggle and are not magically fixed and will probably never be. Just really got kinda boring around 75% for me. I was like ok can we be done at this point. Like I said if this book was 150 pages shorter would have been a perfect amount of healing and conversations of healing.
🖤I don’t want to spoil anything about this book, but I need to talk about how deeply it affected me. From the moment I read Creed, I was instantly hooked on the world Meg created. The characters felt so real Creed, Collins, Rylie, and even the side characters completely captured my heart. I didn’t just read their story, I felt it.🖤
🖤Now let’s talk about Graves. This book was absolutely everything. It was the perfect ending to the duet emotional, intense, beautiful, and unforgettable. I cried, I laughed, and I had to fan myself more times than I can count. Every chapter pulled me in deeper, and I found myself unable to put it down because I needed to know what happened next. There’s something so special about the way Meg writes and her storytelling, the emotions she brings out and grabs you by the heart and refuses to let go. The emotions, the connections, the way the story unfolds it all feels so powerful.. Finishing this duet left me with that bittersweet feeling of saying goodbye to characters who feel like home.🖤
🖤Meg, you are such an incredible author. Creed, Rylie, and Collins will always have a piece of my heart, and this duet is one I’ll never forget.🖤
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 🌶🌶🌶 . . Where do I begin? I have been on edge for over a year after reading CREED and eating up all the crumbs that Meg has given us for GRAVES....and I must say it was worth the wait and more. Riley is a beautiful boy and deserves all the love in the world. He carries so much guilt, grief, and pain that honestly it just breaks you into pieces. Seeing him showered with love by Creed and Collins is honestly the best the ever. Then we have Collins and who doesn't love a stong FMC? No matter what she goes through, she comes out 100x stronger and even though she has her moments of surrender, she's got her men to help pull her back out. And of course, Creed....he's honestly the glue that holds the relationship together, even when he's on the verge of breaking himself. He loves unconditionally and gives everything he has to Collins and Riley. This book is about hurting, healing, and loving someone no matter how much the bad days try to win. Honestly, I could keep going, but I'll leave it here and let experience this masterpiece for yourself. Just remember "See me. Feel me. We. Are. Real." 💫
Could not get enough of Riley, Creed, and Collin's story!!!! The emotional turmoil Graves put me through still has me crying a day later. The three of them went through so much in their relationship that I sometimes felt they wouldn't make it out together. Absolutely loved how, as the reader, I could see into each of their perspectives of healing and how their thoughts were so different but the same. Riley and Collin's internal struggles with mental health was so well represented in the writing but also left room for Creed's struggles as well with blaming himself and feeling as though he'd never be forgiven. I could read a continuation of their story in 10 more books because it was that good and I was so immersed in their journeys towards recovery. The epilogue still has me in shambles but I'll EVENTUALLY get over it... maybe... Obviously had to do a snow(flake) rating 😏 If I could give it a 100/100 I would've! Meg is a genius 🤍❄️ #bookreview #booktok #bookstagram
the epic conclusion to the dark sins duet is here 🎤🥁 and boy what a journey it’s been to get to this point. creed, riley, and collins have been through hell and back to get their happy ending but they fought their way to it.
graves picks up after the intense cliffhanger from the first book, creed, and takes us on the bumpy road to healing and overcoming the trauma that was inflicted upon everyone. the trauma/healing aspect of this book was very heavy, which is realistic to the physical and mental pain each character went through. but this book also had a beautiful storyline about overcoming insecurity, exploring sexuality, and gaining love again. The romantic development between Creed and Riley was beautiful and the continued passion and love between all three of the main characters was awe inspiring.
if you’re looking for a dark why choose mmf rockstar romance with all the highs and lows, then look no further 🖤
Wow! I am in awe of their story. I truly don’t think that Meg could have made 3 characters more perfect for each other.
Collins, Creed, and Riley all go through unimaginable things but they never once give up on each other and they are there for each other every step of the way.
Creed is such a care giver and protector that it just makes your heart swell. Such a bad boy persona on the outside but such a softy for his family. He tried his hardest to hold himself together for them. Anything that they need he made sure that they had it. He picked up on body language, mood changes, etc. He was so in sync with his people that you couldn’t ask for a better partner.
Riley, my goodness, I just freaking adore him. Watching him overcome his own battles while sticking by Collins and Creed was amazing. He really had a tough time but in the end his character was so strong and brave. I loved watching him become more confident in himself and taking more of what he wanted.
Collins is your definition of brave. She had been through it in Creed and even more in Graves. It just amazes me how strong she is and how even though she struggled she still pushed through to be there for Riley and Creed. She wanted to make sure that she was still a constant no matter what demons she had on her shoulders.
5✨✨✨ infinity stars. Graves is absolutely amazing. Graves is the second book in the A Dark Sins Duet. It starts off exactly where it ended in Creed. The amount of tears that were shed while reading Graves. My heart hurt for all three of them honestly. Meg let’s talk about that Prologue 😭 Honestly i couldn’t this book down. it was so good and soooo well written. thank you for this ARC. i loved it so much.
Let me start by saying Riley has to be one of my favorite characters written by Meg Eliza, my heart broke for him but he is just the sweetest boy. This duet was my first MFM book I’ve read and let me just say how much I enjoyed it! Graves is book two in the duet and it’s an emotional romance but beautiful journey of healing. I loved how the characters try and navigate their relationship after enduring what they went through. Also enjoyed how they each fight for each other, each of their perspectives of what they felt & the trials of what they were going through. The three of them were the perfect fit for each other and what they needed for each other. The story was well written and let me also say the spice was HOT!! This book was the perfect ending to their story.
Thank you so much to Meg for the opportunity to receive an early copy of Graves. I have been obsessed with the Dark Sins series for so long and it gave me so much joy to see Collins, Creed and Riley get the HEA they deserved. Graves is the second book in the Dark Sins Duet, following Collins, Creed and Riley. Riley and Creed will always be my favourite MMC’s, they’re possessive and domineering (Creed) but also loving caretakers who would do anything for the ones they love. Their story was beautiful and the perfect way to close this series, Meg is so talented 🥹

Arc Review!! I was so excited that I was able to receive an arc of this book. This first one blew me away and this one was no different.
I don’t even know how to put into words how amazing this last book was, the stuff these 3 dealt with throughout the whole book and they came out stronger than over.
It really is the best love story, lets talk about that ending tho, (no spoilers) but at 98% when it shifted to the epilogue I thought this book was about to take a very sudden and heartbreaking turn and I was screaminggggg but thank god it was just a little scare and they all got their HEA in the end!
