Awesome MC title. This is the first in the series and the first I can recall reading by McNeil. A great title, accurate portrayal of an MC - or at least in line with other MC titles. Unfortunately, I don't have a Grave Digger of my own to compare notes! Great read and I can't wait for other titles in the series!

The story opens with Grave Robber burying his wife and child after they were killed, he is now on a quest to find the killer or killers. He also vows never to get a woman pregnant again or be in love. Years later Aubry Baldwin working as a reporter hears the associate mayor making an illegal deal and wants to do a story. Her editor argues and she ends up at the club of the motorcycle gang with Grave Robber, she leaves in the morning only to arrive back months later to let him know he is to be a father. The conversation does not go well. The rest of the story is full of mystery, suspense, and intrigue for Aubry pushes Grave Robber to his limits which makes the story even better. A good book though may be dark for some people.

Grave Robber is enthralling read, even as certain content tested my limits, especially early on. My eyes were glued to the page, even if I needed to pause, it was never for long. The suspense of the plot along with the fiery passion of the romance takes this from a simmer to a rolling boil of a worthwhile read.

As mentioned, this book tested my limits. Although it’s not a dark romance per se, there were dark aspects in which I had to confront whether I could push through or not. I pushed through, but not always easily. Some elements were rather jarring for me to comfortably read. A potential trigger warning I think is fair to share is the fact the blurbed one night stand involves our lead Aubry drunk— and only she is the drunk part. It’s not a mutual drunken one night side, and I wasn’t sure how I felt about our titular dark hero Grave Robber continuing on the act without Aubry’s sober consent. It wasn’t an issue within the narrative, but it still did cause me a pause and I imagine others may feel the same.

This book doesn’t gloss over the motorcycle club scene, and I wasn’t prepared for how far it would go to see the exact type of scene at hand. Sex is in the air everywhere for everyone, and at times I couldn’t help but feel women were treated more like objects than human beings. It further tested my comfort levels. I can’t say I ever fully overcame feeling off put by those types of scenes in particular.

However, I do believe this discomfort says more about me than the book. The book is very well written, its plot is consistent and very suspenseful, and overall you walk into a story that engages you wholly. And I absolutely felt that. There was no going back, I needed to keep going. I was addicted. I couldn’t take my eyes off the pages. I needed to see this through.

There is a lot of suspense in this one, and that is probably my favorite part— the sense of danger is palpable, undeniable and kept my heart racing!

To sum it up, while I can’t say I always felt comfortable reading this book, I can say my attention never wavered. I was immersed within every word, every page turned. The suspense kept my pulse accelerating. I needed to know what was going to happen and I’m glad I kept going and crossed that finish line. It was different sort of read for me, and sometimes that’s exactly what I need.

Thank you NetGalley and Hot Tree Publishing for providing me an e-arc in exchange for an honest review.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC. This one was one of those guilty pleasure type reads. There was nothing amazing about the writing or the plot but it was still satisfying by the end.
If you are into:
-alpha males
-good girl/bad boy
-surprise pregnancy
-touch her and die vibes
-lots of steam and smut
this is the book for you. There were some little things that bugged me (like why didn’t he get a vasectomy if he had “vowed” to never get a woman pregnant or the ways the MC treated women) but I enjoyed the relationship between Grave Robber and Aubry and the smut was 🤌

I thought this story was okay. I struggled to stay with it.
Grave Robber is your typical MC President and Aubrey is your typical nosy journalist.
They meet, she gets pregnant and then drama takes place before their happily ever after takes place.

Grave Robber (Twisted Brotherhood MC #1) by Skye McNeil
This is a MC hard hitting book I give it 3 1/2 stars. It is full of hard-hitting MC life full of murder, kidnapping., suspense, angst, some humor, tears, lot of s*x, likable and unlikable MC members, and a strong H/h. Lots of action getting to a HEA.

Good book, I haven't really been into to romance books for a while but this one had a big kick to it too! It had light suspense, intrigue, some action, and yes some hot hot hot romance! The storyline was interesting and had me glued to my Kindle! I will recommend reading this book as it was well worth reading! Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for sharing this book with me!

I enjoyed this book very much. The story was engaging and sexy. Grave Robber went through some seriously hard times.

Grave Robber stared at the headstones. He hadn’t been back in over two years. Not since the day the stones had been placed. It had been too difficult to face the ground that now housed his family.

This author was new to me and I will definitely be reading more in the future.

This is a Dark Crime Romance Suspense, and this is the first book in the Twisted Brotherhood MC series. This book has a lot of Dark and hard to read stuff so you should look into triggers before picking up this book. I enjoyed the beginning of this book, and I loved Aubry's character. Grave Robber's character I liked after I got to know his character more, but I did not like how he treated the women he was around. I know this is a Dark MC and that how the women are treated in this book is normal in this type of book. I enjoyed seeing the change in Grave Robber's character throughout this book. The suspense was throughout this book, and I felt that was done really well. I was kindly provided an e-copy of this book by the publisher (Hot Tree Publishing) or author (Skye McNeil) via NetGalley, so I can give an honest review about how I feel about this book. I want to send a big Thank you to them for that. This book is scheduled to be released on July 27-2023.

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this ARC. I haven’t read anything by this author before but did enjoy. I don’t really read bad ass biker stories and normally not a fan of spice but overall it was good.
