Grave Throbbing: M/M Vampire Romance Kindle Edition

In Harley's day, glory hole meant storage room. The VIP room at the vampire club doesn't fit that description, and why does that coffin have a hole in the middle? Someone could die of sun exposure!

Harley has been out of the dating scene for a century. He's still hung up on Ciaran, the one that got away. Though vampires are supposed to be immune to vampire bites, his last bite from Ciaran left him temporarily paralyzed while Ciaran vanished without a trace. Now Ciaran's back, and Harley has to decide whether he wants answers or Ciaran more.

Ciarán didn't want to run from the sweetest vampire he'd ever met, but his life was already complicated with a sire bond and a rare vampire ability. Now that he's resolved his conflicts with the vampire council, he's too shy to approach Harley. With the aid of the club's strategically designed coffin, Ciarán apologizes with a pleasure-filled bite. Will it be enough to earn Harley's trust?

Ciarán would slow down and court Harley the right way, except he's in trouble with Harley's boss again. He needs Harley's help to survive the week ahead.

Grave Throbbing is a paranormal male/male second chance romance between two consenting versatile adults who like Halloween costumes and drinking mixed blood cocktails from paper cups. (Don't forget to recycle!) This standalone novella takes place in the world of Uncertain Future, a short story anthology by Edie Montreux. These are new main characters with very little crossover. (All hail Empress Marcella!) If you're looking for a short, snarky, and spicy standalone with a happily ever after, download your copy today!

I was in a reading slump and took a chance on this and am glad I did. This short read left me with happy sighs and sore cheeks from grinning at some of the characters’ antics. While there were some tense moments, it gave me the happies and is going onto my reread shelf forever.

The blurb for this really intrigued me, but it wasn't what I expected. This is the first book I've read by this author, and maybe I needed to read some of the books set in the same world first. A lot of the vampire stuff was mentioned and important to the story, but not really explained, I'm talking to you sire bond and council! I personally needed more background to really understand what was going on so I could enjoy the story. I did really like the characters and we got a couple good spicy scenes.

This was a quick read for me. It wasn't bad, but it definitely wasn't what I expected based on the blurb, and I needed more world building to truly enjoy the story.

Unique vampire story with intriguing characters

Reviewed in the United States on November 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

This was a first book for me by this author and I wasn't disappointed. The story took a unique turn with the traditional vampire trope and I was hooked from the beginning. My only criticism is that I felt that there could have been a little more world building and the segue from chapter to chapter fell a little flat at times. It had all the relevant information but could have been expanded just a touch to provide a little more background and to keep the "flow". Still, I was pulled in and I'd absolutely read more in this setting.

Glory hole for the win.

Kay and Harley's story was a wonderful afternoon delight. Fast-paced, action-packed, lots of feels and spice. The world came to life. The secondary characters were amazing, and I can't wait to see what Edie does next.

I felt like this story was just missing a lot of info. The story was much more instalovey than I expected with a large gap in time and they kinda jumped back together again quickly. The story was okay but it just wasn't really for me.

What a great name for this book. I enjoyed this new take on vampires and their politics. The glory hole coffin was fun!

Vampire Politics and Romance

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2023

Grave Throbbing is a novella set in the world of the author’s vampire anthology Uncertain Future. I haven’t read the anthology but it's fine because there aren't many cross-over characters. That being said, this novella references so much history between the characters that I fully expected there to be a whole set of novels that I had accidentally skipped reading. We do read the historical scene between Harvey and Key that changed both of their lives, but there's a whole series of more recent events between Key, Greed and even Queen Marcella, that are glossed over in a way that made me feel like I was missing the whole story.

The current day between Key, Harvey and Greed starts in an untraditional way. I did enjoy the characters. Key and Greed are loyal siblings who’ve been through it all. There's a type of insta-love between Key and Harvey. There’s a lot of vampire politics in this story. Overall it was interesting.

A new take on vampires

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2023

I am a fan of Edie Montreux’s fantasy novels and Grave Throbbing was truly a fun read. The author gave herself permission to play in the world of vampires and gave them her own spin. While some of the characters appear in an earlier book, this is a true stand-alone story. It is easy to like Harley, who is an anomaly among most vampires in that he enthralls humans with his mind rather than his bite. When he is tasked with teaching his technique to Ciarán, he is kind and gentle. We meet both Ciarán and Harley in the present day and they have a problem to solve that they hope to accomplish before the arrival of the vampire ruler, Marcela. Both the male vampires are interesting and it is fun to witness their reunion a hundred years after their first encounter. I did wonder why Harley was single, since he was a great guy with a wonderful library. Ciarán has spent his time trying to fit in and taking care of his younger sister, and was still rough around the edges from his life of poverty. But even Ciarán’s abrasive sister mellows around Harley. This is such an entertaining take on vampires, I am sorry not to see it again. I was given a free ARC of Grave Throbbing from the author and I am leaving this honest review voluntarily.

Missing Context

Reviewed in Canada on October 10, 2023

Verified Purchase

This was my first experience with this author and I'm not sure what to think. Ostensibly this is supposed to be a standalone but the world was never really explained to the reader so I felt like I was reading between the lines and missing so much context for the story that I began to feel annoyed. I don't even know if reading the author's other works would help or if this is just their style.

As the story opens, newly created vampire Ciarán (Key) narrowly misses being put to death by Queen Marcella for... reasons, she learns of his unique vampire ability which necessitates him learning to hunt from her seemingly right-hand man, Harley. The two men have a whirlwind evening and Key flees into the night... for reasons.

Over 100 years later they encounter each other kinda sorta accidentally on purpose and begin seeing each other again. A lot seems to have occurred during their time apart but it's mostly glossed over. There a a lot of information teased and hints of what happened but nothing is ever really satisfactorily explained. Even the bad guy plot lacks development, but I feel like I could make a pretty comprehensive menu for Blood Drive, their favourite blood takeout place.

The story was overall pretty cute and the sexy times were pretty hot, and the sibling relationship between Key and his sister Greed (Margaret) was fun, but I have so many questions about what went on that I'm rather confused and frustrated which defeats the purpose of reading a book for enjoyment. I don't want to get too detailed because it would definitely spoil the book, but I was hoping for more.
