Pretty Girls Make Graves: A dark romance

Written by Steffanie Holmes

Narrated by Bridget Bordeaux

Don’t go outside on Devil’s Night.

I’m always the good girl. I never stand out. I follow the rules.

At Blackfriars University, there’s one whispered rule: Stay inside the night before Halloween. Hide under your blankets and hope the Orpheus Society isn’t the monster outside your window.

If they get you, you won’t just be humiliated. They’ll put you six feet under.

But I’ve screwed up.

I found bones in a shallow grave. Another good girl, just like me.

Now I’ll do whatever it takes to get to the truth.

I’ll catch the eye of the cruel aristocrat with a haunted gaze.

I’ll tempt the dark priest with forbidden tastes.

I’ll be their shameful little secret. Their plaything. Their sacrifice.

Maybe I don’t want to be a good girl anymore.

Maybe it’s time to break all the rules.

Pretty Girls Make Graves is a dark romantic suspense and part one of the Dark Academia duet. If you enjoy tales of clever heroines, ancient rites, secret societies, cruel princes and wicked priests, dusty libraries and decadent parties, twisted relationships and buried secrets, then prepare to enter the halls of Blackfriars University. You may not return.

Reviews for Pretty Girls Make Graves

[becky · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

This book just drug on and on And mostly about the same stuff.

[Stevie Black · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Amazing, I love going on George's journey after finishing Claws! Book two can't come soon enough. The fact that Stephanie has brought my other two favorite reverse harems by her into these stories with the Eldredge Club and Broken Muse makes me utterly happy. Thanks for these!

This book had so much potential, the priest, the bad boy, but it just was so unbelievable. I finished it to see how it would end but it was mostly disappointing and unrealistic. I might listen to the second one only because I do want to know what is going on with the secret society...

[Hanna Horton · Rating: 2 out of 5 stars]

Murder mystery? More like just talking about mystery. Never figure it out just talks about it over and over and over. Drags on. The romance is at a 1/ 10. Gorge goes to a college academy, a disappearance and then found murdered. Was it the secret society? Who knows, they just talk about it with 0 action the whole book.

DNF cause the narrator portrays a Scottish accent for someone from Dublin. I know it’s a small thing but if your going to write about someone Irish, have an Irish narrator do their voice over. Scottish and Irish may sound similar but there are big differences.

This was awesome. I didn’t know what to expect (especially bc I didn’t really like this author’s “high school” series), but the depth and mystery in this one was quite entertaining. Definitely need to read the next one immediately!

[Rachel Kidner · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

This was a masterpiece. Seriously. I read/listen to a lot of dark romance but this was on another level. I was so glued to it the rest of the world didn’t exist for a few hours don’t sleep on this one.
