Carving Graves

The KORT Series, Book 2

De: Brandy Hynes

Narrado por: Aiden Snow, Angelina Rocca

Never let them see. Always keep them guessing. Play their game.

Drowning and rising. Burning and dying.

Corruption and chaos. A heart in a box.

Snick. Flick. Flame.

LIAM

She’s my secret. My answer. My Ace.

I’m a cabal leader for KORT—not a man who gets involved. Never for more than a night.

Certainly not with Celeste Carver—a Daddy’s girl whose biggest problem is which politician to marry.

All I want is a taste.

But the pretentious princess burrows under my skin. And I’m tired of being polite.

Once she’s claimed, there’s no going back.

Not without ending up six feet under.

CELESTE

The Carver name comes with expectations. A legacy.

But no matter how hard I try or how much I hate him, my attention swings to Liam Graves.

Forbidden fruit.

He’s all golden god meets dark angel. Unhinged trouble.

Good thing I have a skilled poker face and a steel determination.

But in a blink, it all spins out of control.

Freedom is captivity.

Dead is alive.

Choice is a butchered pipe dream.

Unless I’m the one holding all the cards.

While the novel can stand alone, significant character development and important details about the character’s lives will be missed without first listening to BURNING IVY.

What to expect:

Jealous/Possessive Hero

Mafia/Secret Society

Found Family

Forbidden/ Secret Relationship

Close Proximity

He falls first and falls Hard

Action/Suspense

Touch her and Die

✨ DEFINITELY A ‘ONE CLICK’ AUTHOR FROM NOW ON ✨

Firstly, if you haven’t already listened to Burning Ivy (book 1) in the series, please - please - please start there - otherwise you’ll be doing yourself, this book and Brandy Hynes a grave disservice. Because, apart from being an awesome listen, there’s so much detail about the characters, their backgrounds and motivations, their friendships and dynamics, the dangerous complex world they’re center stage in and their damaged hearts that’ll each be given to strong women. It’s the foundation stone to the secret KORT society series. However, if you have already listened to book 1, then you already know what this new and talented author is capable of, you’ve tasted her action packed drama, you’ve probably jumped straight here from book 1 (like I did) and you’re probably excited for Liam and Celeste’s rollercoaster to unfurl. And I’m happy to confirm it doesn’t disappoint.

Celeste is living a princess legacy she doesn’t want, her whole persona is fake and she longs to be seen as her true self. Liam is top table KORT cabal, he and his teammates make people disappear.. either by arrangement.. or by crossing them! There’s been friction between these two from first meeting in book 1. Misunderstandings, misjudgements and a lot of verbal missiles thrown both ways. However, beneath it all, their sizzling chemistry burns and you just know the countdown’s started, it’s going to be explosive and the fallout will be fire.. which it most definitely was🥰😉🪭. But, like the previous book, there’s so much more to unpack and unravel too. The brotherhood of these four men is awesome. Ivy and Celeste’s bff bond and changing dynamics within the group is heartwarming. And, the alpha possessiveness, growth, purpose, secrets, suspense, twists, tension, loyalty, heat and love that’s weaved into and wrapped around this absolutely delicious story, created a very addictive listen. And a big plus is the duet-style five star voice acting by Aiden and Angelica which brought the characters and chapters to life - so it was easy to imagine the scenes as they played out as one delicious chapter moves quickly to the another.

Worth a credit? Yes, definitely.. it’s well-paced, very entertaining, sizzles and leans heavily on found family bonds. And now I’m jumping straight into book 3.

Obsessed!

This is the second book in the Kort Series and is best enjoyed after reading the first. It’s a fantastic continuation of the world introduced through Ivy and Wells, but this time, the focus is on Liam and Celeste. Their dynamic is filled with tension, frustration, and undeniable intrigue. Once Liam decides Celeste is his, he refuses to let anything stand in his way, while Celeste struggles with meeting expectations that don’t align with her true desires.

I loved watching them grow together, helping each other heal from past insecurities and trauma. The narrators did an outstanding job, capturing Liam’s gruff demeanor and Celeste’s sass perfectly. Just like the first book, the attention to detail in this one was incredible. If you loved book one, you’ll definitely love this one too. A must listen!

LIAM && CELESTE

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I. Am. Obsessed. With. This. Series.
Almost as obsessed as these men are with their women!

Celeste’s parents want nothing more than for her to be as far away from the family business as possible. To be a politicians wife and live happily ever after.
So she puts on a front time after time to be seen as the perfect wife for the perfect politician husband.

Liam has only seen this version of Celeste. So when he only craves her, he can’t understand why he would feel that way.
Until she shows the real Celeste.
Once Liam sees that side, he is all in. And Celeste is his.

But since Liam is tied up in the same business as her dad, their relationship is forbidden.

I loved these twos story!
&& the audio was great!
Aiden Snow - absolute perfection - per usual 😍

Angela isn’t a favorite of mine, but still did well!

Highly recommend adding this one to your listen list! After Burning Ivy of course!!!
Because this story is better read in order!

Currently on ch 25

I love the plot so far…and I’ve always been open-minded in regard to narrators bc I haven’t read any of these books..

However, I did listen to Burning Ivy first and I think that’s why I’m disappointed in Celeste in this book-in the 1st book her personality was more outgoing, especially in conversations with Ivy directly; and she was more snippy when the crew showed up in Paris.

So far, Celeste is disappointing me-I know we’re supposed to get more insight to her thoughts (and actually I relate to these thoughts) but even when she has conversations with Ivy or any of the guys now, she comes off as very self conscious and has a lot of self doubt so far when she’s interacting with any of the guys…I guess in this book I expected more of her based on her former personality

Snick...Flick...Flame! Loved this!!!

Carving Graves is book #2 in the K.O.R,T. series and it is just as thrilling as book #1. **If you haven't read book #1, you are definitely getting spoilers with this story. Liam puts on a mask to hide years of abuse and pain, never showing his real self, never getting close to anyone. Until Celeste Carver. She's got a job to do for her family...marry a politician. She and Liam butt heads until that heated passion finds them in Smexytown. Another age-gap, uber protective, dark romance filled with suspense, intrigue and betrayal. This is a standalone with no cliffhanger. Just a sweet little tease for Ty's story!

The narration is *chef's kiss* perfect! Aiden Snow and Angelina Rocca bring ALL the Liam and Celeste vibes to their performance. This duo is 5/5 spice-filled stars!!
