GRAVE BOUND Emily Riddle is now 19 and has lived her entire life inside a commune led by her father, Owen. This has never been a happy place for her. She is surrounded by people who simply obey her father Owen, the leader. The entire story has you just holding your breath at times. I can’t even imagine how this life could be and aside from that writing it. It is a very tough subject matter that will conjure up some situations you never would have thought about. The description of life on this commune is so detailed. The young girls, like Emily are “promised” and have no choice but to enter into an arranged marriage. There is only life inside the chain link fence. There is no communication allowed. woman are more slaves and baby makers than anything.

When Emily hears from the worst man she knows, Lorenzo, that she was promised to him, my heart was broken. For the first time she reacts without automatically doing what she was trained to do, say yes and nothing more. She thinks she can’t live with him, have babies, stay married. She meets Tope (who turns out to be the D.A.) and his cousin Levi. It all at once hits her, (bam! little lightning bugs and fairy dust) she is in love with Levi. At that moment she formulates a plot, if not she will die before she marries Lorenzo. She makes some pretty strong statements. It is the turning point where she realizes that this may be the only opportunity she has to leave the commune. It is a know fact you don’t ever leave, if you do you are found dead.

Along with Em you meet her best friends and her Step Brothers, who are equally sick. They all beat women, talk down to them, marry them and go to the “Commune Hall” at night to have sex with the commune whores. Emily knows her Aunt Tess is her strongest advocate and Aunt Tess is so much stronger than anyone knows. There is where the secrets will unravel. She finds out so many things that leave her broken and feeling like there is no way out.

Fighting to escape the commune, her Dad, Lorenzo, and her brothers Emily is in for the battle of her life. Just read it and you will see.There are no words to express how exquisitely told the story is. I want so much more and I just know this is destined for great reviews. It is like no other story I have read.

Decades after being banished from Heaven for saving a life he shouldn’t have, seraph Lash is given a chance to redeem himself. His mission: protect Naomi Duran, a young woman who has lost her faith. The assignment proves to be anything but simple when his superiors, the Archangels, withhold key information about Naomi and refuse to restore Lash’s powers. When an unexpected source reveals centuries-old secrets, his trust is shaken to the core, and he begins to doubt those whom he had once considered to be his greatest allies.

Determined to avoid anything that would risk his chances of returning to Heaven, Lash struggles with the greatest obstacle of all—his growing feelings for Naomi. But when her life is threatened by an unknown source, Lash questions the wisdom of the Archangels and his ability to keep her safe.

Grave Bound (Secrets, #1) by T. R. Graves @WarriorsSeries @Tale_of_Reviews

Posted in Book Titles by ReadingRenee

Some secrets follow you to the grave. Others send you there.

Emily Riddle has lived her entire life inside a patriarchal commune led by her father. There are many rules, but the most important one, ‘keep it in the commune’, is the most difficult for her to follow… especially since the only people willing to champion her cause live on the outside.

When Emily learns her father has promised her to Lorenzo, a perverted man who has plans for her that extend well beyond marriage and kids, she rebels. Regardless of the consequences, she refuses to marry someone who’d rather beat her than caress her.

A day of hooky that starts out as a tiny act of defiance – sneaking out of the commune for a swim – turns into a day filled with hope. After spending time with Levi, a man camping near the lake, she finds what true romance looks like and catches a glimpse into a future that’s filled with love and admiration rather than hate and submission.

That tiny peek is enough to change the course of Emily’s existence and makes it nearly impossible for her to go back to the commune and pretend she’ll ever be able to tolerate the life chosen for her instead of the life she longs for. One that includes Levi.

Fighting to escape the commune, its leaders, and her fiancé proves to be more dangerous than Emily expected. The secrets she knows, as the leader’s daughter, will either follow her to the grave or send her – and Levi – there.
