Dig Your Grave: A Dark M/M Romance (Staniel Book 2) Kindle Edition

by Avril Ashton (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 693 ratings
An unanswered phone call. An empty bed. And a loud clock ticking down the seconds before Daniel Nieto’s heart—the one he recently discovered he still possessed—gets broken again.

His lover is gone. Taken by an unknown enemy, one who hasn’t yet realized that Daniel would willingly stride into hell to get his Diablo back. The pain of losing another person he loved would bring any other man to his knees, but Daniel only accepts carpet burns from one special Greek.

Too busy being in love, Stavros Konstantinou never even noticed the betrayal coming until it was too late. When the life he’s fought so hard to build is thrown into chaos, he finds himself scrambling to unmask his enemies. Now, with Daniel at his side, he’s out for revenge. The hunt is on. Bodies are piling up. And they’re sending out a warning. Before you even think to go up against us… Dig Your Grave.

This is book two in Daniel and Stavros’ love story. It is strongly advised that you read book one, Call the Coroner, first.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2020
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    And I don't mean a little violence this story is even more violent than the previous book in this series and very graphic. This is the second book in the story of Daniel and Stavros, two very violent scary men, who met because Stavros was hired to kill Daniel's wife and Daniel's revenge was to kidnap Stavros and torture him, this all happened in "Call The Coroner" but I still dont understand how these two men fell in love with each other but their love revolves around violence for both of them, a Crime boss and the head of a group of assassin. Even these men sex borders on violences. It's a struggle to like either character and this book might be a little to much for some readers but it is interesting and if you believe you can stomache all the killing in it, this book is worth reading. It's a different kind of love story from what I usually read but for some reason I like it and willing to continue reading this series if this author decides to continue it. I gave it four stars because of the editing issues I encountered within this book; the last thing you want is to loose your focus on the story to try and figure out what's wrong with what you're reading.

    I’m sitting here trying to come up with a good review for this book. I’m speechless, dumbfounded, and pleasant surprised. I’ve never read a book quite like this. A book where the main characters are truly villains and stay that way. Hey don’t villains deserve love too? And nobody loves more than these two. Stavros and Daniel are so in love with each other and their passion is so dark and so intense you can’t help but love them.

    This series was dark, deranged, bloody, morbid, but oh so good.

    Goodness this shorter read packs a punch. Right from the start it has you on edge. This is Daniel and Stavros years later. This book is all about revenge. You don't mess with these two. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time with this one. I will say this one is mainly revenge plot. More gore. Less spicey times. But seriously so good. I could read about Staniel forever! Also I gotta just say these books have some of the absolute best nicknames to date, just sayin. So hot.

    Excellent addition to the Staniel series. Absolutely smitten with these two insanely dark murderous men!

    5.0 out of 5 stars Gotta love a villain romance
    Reviewed in the United States on December 2, 2023
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    You know, I love a good villain. The good guys? They’ll sacrifice their love for the sake of the world. The villain? He will burn that world to the ground for his love.

    And Daniel went about doing just that. The man literally started a war to not only get Stavros back, but to help him seek vengeance on those who took him.

    And as we learned from book one, torture is foreplay to these guys. Luckily, Toro started stashing lube in their murder bag, because they are so going to bang after a good torture / murder session.

    This was a great follow-up to book one.

    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on March 10, 2020

    A heads-up, f with Daniel Neito’s Diablo, and you won’t live long enough to regret it. ‘Cause when the latter’s betrayed, kidnapped, tortured and left for dead as part of a vendetta-fuelled chain of events that, rather surprisingly, Stavros himself had no hand in orchestrating, things get real ugly, real quick. So expect bullets, blood and bodies by the bucketload - plus an inordinate amount of macho posturing - as the guys wreak revenge on those responsible for Stav’s broken body and his man’s almost-broken heart.

    Well I did say in a recent review that I wouldn’t mind a little more Stav - my second fave AA character after Syren Rua - and tada! my wish came true in this sexy, high-octane sequel to Call the Coroner, which as the synopsis indicates, really is a must read if you’re to understand the goings-on of this book.

    Adored the aforementioned title, and I throughly enjoyed catching up with these blood-thirsty alphas again. Stav’s just as barking (if not more so) as I remember and I love how he brings the usually cool and in control Daniel to his knees. Theirs is an animalistic love that almost borders on violent at times, and I think freaky best sums up their lust-murder leanings in a nutshell. As getting aroused by murder and then getting it on amid the dismembered bodies of your victims is all kinds of messed up, but also kinda hot ..and fitting, if you consider how these former enemies got together in the first place. However, the brief moments of tenderness and sweet words shared in private, helps counteract the brutality of their everyday lives.

    I must confess that I find myself chuckling a bit and playing the six degrees of separation when reading an AA book, as rather amusingly ALL of her book characters are in some way related, be it by blood or marriage etc, and inevitably pop up here, there and everywhere …so expect a few cameos here, too. This can get a tad frustrating, if like me, you only read her m/m tales and don’t instantly get some of the character refs, but for the most part it’s easy to work out who’s who, and besides, I like that all of her books/series are so intrinsically interwoven and the characters have so much history, camaraderie, or bad blood …and quite often, a tsunami of sexual tension zipping between them too – which inevitably leads to more spin-off tales with hot guys. No spoilers, but that twist at the end was genius, and also paved the way for some potential romantic pairings that I’d love to read.

    So, if you enjoyed CtC ..this dark and grisly sequel’s kind of a no-brainer. Although you might wanna avoid if you’re on the squeamish side ..cos chainsaws ..just sayin’.
