Review: WOW. I am absolutely speechless after finding Carving Graves. Brandy bled her heart into this book and it is so obvious from the first page that it is almost impossible to put down. Celeste and Liam’s romance was one that I had been craving since Burning Ivy and man did their story NOT disappoint. 

 

When I started this book I wasn’t sure which direction Brandy would take Celeste’s character in and I have to say that the hidden intelligence and cunning was exactly right! The inner working of her mind and the way it affected her character BLEW my mind. I loved seeing her come to life on the page from all of Liam’s pushing and poking. Brandy was able to really elevate her story arc by including her struggles with her family and the loss of her brother. I found the quiet manipulations her parents put on her to be the biggest irritation for me since I just wanted her to fall into Liam. Celeste was the character that held the ups and downs in this book which allowed us to really get a look into who she was and how she was perfect for Liam…even when he was dead set on hating her. 

 

Liam’s whole character was my HOME in this book. I LOVED the utter devotion he gave to Celeste once he put their differences behind him. Brandy really excelled with writing a guy in tune with his emotions and the way she had Liam go full throttle after what he wanted, Celeste, and not stop until she was his did me IN. Even though Liam was so smitten to Celeste, Brandy still provided enough tension with him not believing he was worthy of her and with his worry about his lifestyle within KORT. I found that his method of bringing Celeste into the fold was PERFECT for them and enjoyed how he had zero doubt in her as opposed to the “Loyalty Test” in Burning Ivy. 

 

This book gave me the HEA for Liam that I was so desperate for after his near death in book 1. The theme of both MCs needing to “choose” the other hit hard and Brandy was able to capture ALL the emotions in this book as Celeste and Liam navigate growing feelings and the strengthening of their bond. Liam and Celeste were much more tension-filled in lust and heat from the get-go and the chemistry they had was INSANE. I loved how they shared explosive chemistry but also had an excellent found family that provided levity and kinship among them. The KORT men are one of the better found family groups I have read and the inside jokes, banter, sarcasm and wit had me laughing so much in this book that it was sad to say bye. I am excited for Ty’s book to come since he has been such a pillar to Ivy and Celeste so far and cannot wait for his woman to knock him to his knees! 

 

Rating: 100+, LIAM GRAVES…the man, the myth, the ABSOLUTE legend! This book…WOW, Brandy blew me away with this one and I can’t wait to get more Liam and Celeste in the next books!

Review: WOW. Angelina and Aiden DESTROYED this audiobook! Brandy Hynes knew what she was doing when she chose her narrators and these two and the way they made me fall in love with Celeste and Liam all over again was EPIC. Angelina Brentmoor is one of my favorite narrators and it was perfect getting to listen to her bring one sassy and fiery FMC to life in Carving Graves. The way her voice brought all of the anger, angst and emotion into Celeste’s character was the shining light while listening and I enjoyed how her voice fit Celeste to a T. 

 

Aiden Snow on the other hand is a growly, gruff narrator that sounded exactly like what Liam did in my head and only proved how much Liam’s character stuck with me after my initial read. HE was able to build the tension within his POV narration and also express every emotion that made Liam the MAN he was to this book. They way Aiden was also able to build up voice chemistry and build off Angelina’s character added to this book and made it almost impossible to pause. 

 

Overall, Carving Graves was a great audiobook that will be listened to again and again and left me hanging for the next KORT book thats coming SOON! 

 

Rating: 10/10, Angelina and Aiden enthralled me inside Celeste’s and Liam’s romance and there is no word for how phenomenal this audiobook was!
