About this book
What do you do when you have no identity, no name, no past? You create one.
For as long as I can remember, I've been trapped in a minuscule room. All I know is the monotonous routine of reaping souls and then returning to my prison. And pain. Lots of pain.
Everything changes when I'm compelled to reap the souls of an elite supernatural warrior team.
Krystian, the flirty elf hiding dark secrets.
Zaid, the sweet wraith who deteriorates all of my defenses, one carefully selected word at a time.
Rafael, the psychotic blood fae who wishes to possess and claim me.
And Everett, the ornery leader of the group, is hiding away a lethal monster.
Imagine my surprise when they're the first beings in centuries who can actually see me. Hear me. Feel me. Somehow, I'm a real girl again, in a real body, with real emotions.
And what happened to me? Apparently, that's not normal.
Who locked me away for all these years, and why? If I'm not a reaper, then… what am I?
One thing's for certain—the gods are playing dangerous games with our lives, and if we're not smart about our next step, we'll end up in the grave.
Gods and Graves is a standalone paranormal romance from USA Today and Amazon top 50 author Katie May. Expect Greek mythology, possessive (and psychotic) love interests, a crazy FMC alive for the first time in centuries, and a plot that will keep you hooked until the very last minute.

The author boasts that this book was written in 6 days and yeah, I can tell. Told from all POV, it feels like it’s missing something. The spice is pretty generic and the same for multiple scenes, though Rafe adds a little something to it. It was an okay book, I finished it, yet it was kinda blah? Definitely doesn’t stand out for me. ) !Image 85: Not as good as I expected !Image 86!Image 87: Not as good as I expected !Image 88  The author boasts that this book was written in 6 days and yeah, I can tell.

As usual Katie May humor is clearly seen throughout the book. The FMC is hilarious and her sassy witty comments had me roaring and crying with laughter. It definitely kept me entertained.

This was good enough to keep my interest and to finish it in like 3 days. I actually really love some of the other books written by Katie. Ahem (Monsters) this is close enough with the humor and plot twists. I enjoyed this book, however it’s not one I plan to reread or brag about. The plot was nice with some Greek and also some things that I haven’t read 100 times so it was refreshing. )
