Secrets of Graves and Gold

Rites of Possession, Book 3

By: Eva Chase

Narrated by: Michelle Sparks, Jason Clarke

Will my magic save the realm... or drive me into madness?

In the wake of an uprising of illicit sorcery, my men and I find ourselves on the run—determined to clear our names by protecting the kingdom.

But to face off against the psychopaths who want to remake our country into a realm of chaos and brutality, I'll need to tap into my wild magic. And the god who's watched over me expects me to stand on my own now.

If I can't overcome the odds against us, the lives of the men I love are forfeit. But how far can I go without becoming what I've feared most?

*Secrets of Graves and Gold is the third book in a new fantasy romance series full of forbidden magic, impossible love, hot damaged men, and a rebellious heroine who's so much more than she imagines. There is one more book to come.*

Good series

I'm so glad I listened to the audiobook. The narrators continue to do an amazing job with bringing this story to life. They are great at their jobs, and I love listening to them.

Rheave made this book enjoyable for me. I truly loved his character in this one. This story was a lot of build-up. There is a lot of repetition of events to prepare for the final installment of the series. It was interesting enough that I finished the book, but I don't think I'll be finishing this series. I truly love other books by Eva Chase though.

I received a code to listen. This review is honest and voluntary.

Wow

Dive into a spellbinding adventure with Ivy in this captivating series that defies all expectations.

As Ivy delves deeper into the world of magic, each step forward is fraught with unforeseen consequences and electrifying reactions.

Her companions undergo remarkable transformations, evolving with every perilous escapade alongside Ivy.

Brace yourself for a heart-stopping cliffhanger that will leave you on the edge of your seat, balancing exhilaration and fear. This series is a rollercoaster of thrills and surprises that will keep you hooked until the very end!

XOXO Lottie.

Meh

Story lost steam for me. I DNF's at Ch. 31 because I was starting to not look forward to reading it anymore.

Great addition to the series

I just love the way she writes a story they’re doing engaging and keep you interested all the way through

Strategies

One of the things I love about Eva Chase's work is that I can never guess what will happen next, I might think I have but she always manages to surprise me. At the end of the previous instalment of Rites of Possession series Ivy and her guys found themselves on the run even though they had just saved the King's life.

Ivy knows what her men have given up to come with her and knows that they will need to come up with a plan to defeat the uprising and save the Royal Family and the country from the evil sorcerers but she knows too that she must learn to control her magic, to be able to use it without suffering the consequences which seem to befall all the Riven of going mad. To this end when she is given the opportunity to learn more about her magic she takes it.

In the closing chapter of the second book, Rheave joins their party, he is gorgeous, loyal and so inquisitive with a lust for life that is quite refreshing, he makes a welcome addition to their group. I like all four men and how each brings something different into the mix. The five of them are a formidable force to be reckoned with. Ivy, trying not to use her magic comes up with a plan to use the king's enemies, in an attempt to protect the king and sets it up so that the King's two biggest enemies believe the other is attacking them. If this plan works perhaps the King will pardon Ivy and drop the charges of Treason against her guys.

But as is to be expected with all of Eva's books just when you think everything is going their way something so unexpected happens that it will leave you on the edge of your seat waiting for the next instalment. The cliffhanger ending of this book is the most shocking yet! I NEED the next book NOW!

The narration by Jason Clarke and Michelle Sparks is, as always, excellent and could not be improved upon.
