Grave

The Dark Kingdom, Book 3

De: Shantel Tessier

Narrado por: Sarah Puckett, Mollie Stark, Walker Williams

GRAVE
My life went to hell years ago, and I've had a death wish ever since then with fast cars, women, and drugs. They don't call me Grave for nothing!
But I do it because I need to feel something...anything. What's life worth living without the high?

And then I saw her!

She's too good for me, and I should stay away. But like an addict, I switch one drug for another, and I'll be taking her to hell with me.

APRIL
I'm anything but sweet, despite what people think, so when he tells me I'm too good for him and I'm better off without him, I don't listen.

My life was simple before Grave stepped through that door, but who wants simple?

He makes me feel alive. It only took one, and I became addicted!
But that's the problem. Addiction is Grave's middle name, and when he tells me he's taking me to hell with him, I don't know whether to take that as a threat or a promise!

Grave is the third book in The Dark Kingdom Series but may be listened to as a standalone. Due to mature content and themes, this audiobook is recommended for listeners aged eighteen and over. This novel may contain triggers.

Love.

Grave will always be one of my favorite MMCs! I love a broken man who will always heal for the right woman. The narration brings the raw emotions to the story to life.

Read this asap

Not only did this bring sappy tears but I bawled my eyes out and just when you think everything is ok boy do you get strung the other way. Shantel you did her so dirty 😭👑. Grave deserved more than he got if you ask me. Such a relatable character. I devoured this one.

Dark. Gritty. Addictive. And completely unputdownable! 😈🔥

I loved how kind and concerned April was for Grave. Her heart is so huge, even for those who wanted to see her fail. 💔 She sees the darkness in him and still chooses to stay, to care.

Grave was hard to read at times; so broken, so lost, just trying to escape his demons. 💀 But when these two collide? Pure fire. 🔥🔥

The spice was perfect, the emotions real, and the story pulled me in from page one. I’m completely obsessed with the Dark Kings world now! 👑

✨ If you love tortured heroes, fierce heroines, and heat that burns off the page, this one’s for you.

My POOR SWEET GRAVE 😭

This freaking book may be one of my favorites from the series. The narration brought these characters alive in the best way and the story is just top tier. The struggles the plot points and everything were just ughhh I love grave and his story really resonates with me and made me feel for him.

Waited so long.

I’ve waited for over a year for this series to come to Audible and it really is worth every moment.
Shantel is a phenomenal writer, with the uncanny ability to make the reader/listener to feel as if they are standing in the room with her characters.
The narration was spot on and they both made the story seem more real than just the written words.
Thank you

Good listen!

I love the men and ladies of DK! Grave was the ultimate screw up but also the fun of the group.

GRAVES!!!!!

By far my favorite of the whole series!! I love a trauma, vulnerable, morally grey MMC.

Absolute Spades!!

I love the dark kingdom series and the audio is even better than the book! Really brings our beloved characters to life!!

I loved Grave so much!!

I absolutely loved Grave's story and it broke my fucking heart!! I felt a connection to this character that I did not expect and to April. I had tears escaping my tear filled eyes when I finished the last 4 chapters of his book. I love how drawn he was to April's shop then to her. I agree with April it was fate that he stopped but I also think their mom's had something to do with them meeting.
I get why he had the death wish as someone who has at times in my life felt numb to everything I get the need to feel he was chasing. Although I also think he used drugs & alcohol to not have to feel especially after his mom died and Lucy. I am glad Tanner & Grave got revenge for Lucy, however....I feel Jimmy's punishment was minor to what it should have been.
All in all I felt for Grave & he tugged at my heart strings 😢 I'm glad he & April's got their happy ending, I love how he loves her & craves her like his next fix. I am going to need an update on the baby tho!!

Grave & April

Another good story. It kept my attention even though it wasn’t mafia centric like the prior 2 books, it was still a well written story. Although there were some heavy moments, they were written with careful consideration and even a depth of care.
Also, I love Jasmine. I cracked up at her several times and I love how she is such a loyal friend. The narration was good. I have not always been a fan of Walker Williams’ narrating, but he did this book & Grave justice.
