Thank you To sourcebooks and NetGalley for a preview of this book in exchange for an honest review.

I already knew I was going to love this book. I am a huge Katee Robert fan, having read 32 of her books, but some of her books have to be part of the elite group. And I can tell that Radiant Sin is going to be part of the elite group. This book has the fake dating trope, mutual pining, a plus size FMC, and is basically a spy thriller. The plot goes above and beyond and you have the amazing writing that is standard to this author! I only got a taste here, but I am so psyched out of my mind for this book. You really only needed five chapters to know that this is going to be amazing.

While this preview is only five chapters, it already has me hooked and ready for the rest of Cassandra and Apollo's story. Fake dating while spying tells me this will be another unique, but interlocked, storyline in the Dark Olympus series - one that promises spice, snark, and ever-present political intrigue. Very excited to continue reading this story when its fully available!

This preview has me so excited for the release of Radiant Sin! Only 5 chapters in and I love Apollo and Cassandra to pieces. Cass has a spitfire attitude and takes shïť from no one. I love that she's plus size and loves it too. Apollo seems so freaking sweet, I can't wait to watch him win her over. Forced Proximity and One Bed are some of my favorite tropes, so I am here for this 100%.

I didn’t know it was possible, but with each new addition to the Dark Olympus series I fall more in love. I’m really interested to see what happens in Radiant Sin. I’m loving Cassandra’s personality and within three sentences of Apollo’s first chapter I was hooked.
So excited to read Radiant Sin when it comes out. Thank you for the preview!

GIMME GIMME GIMME IT ALL!

Fake dating but doing so as spies and gathering information against potential threats, I am SO IN! Katee Roberts always proves that she can hook you into her books in a few chapters, they write the plot so enticing, and each character always feels genuine/ uniquely human.

I will say Cassandra can walk all over me as she does to Apollo's heart!
I cannot wait for the book!

Radiant Sin is the next book in Katee Robert’s Dark Olympus series. This brief preview simply reinforces my belief that Apollo and Cassandra’s story might be the best yet in this amazing series.

Cassandra works for Apollo, the spy master of The Thirteen of Olympus. She’s his assistant, but her goal is for herself and her sister to escape the stifling confines of the city. Apollo is stumped by the erosion of the barrier that separates Olympus from the outside world. It’s a secret, but mysterious newcomer Minos may have some answers. Cassandra agrees to go undercover as Apollo’s fake girlfriend at a house party to help him search for information and motives. In return, she’s guaranteed freedom for her and her sister.

The intrigue! The characters! Aside from being super hot, the plot twists in this series make the books impossible to put down. I love Cassandra’s sarcasm, and her biting wit is the best reaction to the jabs Olympus sends her way. Her interaction with Hera/Callisto and Psyche was a treat and left me wanting more. I can’t wait for the entire book of Radiant Sin to arrive in February!

I really like Cassandra's character. She seems strong in the face of adversity from the city. This was just enough of a taste to get me excited to see what is in store for her and Apollo at the party. Eagerly anticipating the next release in Dark Olympus!

This is a really interesting take on Greek mythology. This was only the first five chapters and quite a bit of back story and world building, but good nonetheless. Ill definitely be picking it up when it comes out! I know there are a few other books in this series, starting I believe with a Hades and Persephone one. I think if you read the other books, the back story might feel a little less complicated.

These first few chapters really set up the story and I'm so excited to read the whole book when it comes out!

I’ve loved the first three books in this series and after reading this preview I can anticipate I’ll love this one as well! I can’t wait to see how the relationship between Cassandra and Apollo evolves and how the greater over arching story in the series progresses.

Is that all?! I need the rest!

In this preview Katee sets the stage for Apollo and Cassandra's story. I've read the other books I this series and have thoroughly enjoyed them. Based on what I have read here, I can tell this is going to be another great one! The Dark Olympus series has just the right amount of spice!

Thank you NetGalley, Katee Robert and publisher for a chance to read this preview in exchange for an honest review.

I don't think anybody can read a Katee book and not fall in love with the way this woman rights. Everything that this woman writes is intentionally well done. The relationships the back stories they all are significant nothing is ever left to just fall into place haphazardly.

Reading these 5 chapters was cruel and unusual punishment that I will greatly appreciate and come back for more every single time.

Absolutely cannot wait until I have the rest of this book in my hands

Ahhhhhh, I’m dying to read the rest of this. We’ve got pining, fake dating, she’s leaving when the job is done, and spying! Cassandra has always been a fascinating, tragic character in Greek mythology. Apollo gave her the gift of prophecy to seduce her, when she spurned him, he twisted his gift so that she would always speak truth but not be believed. I love that Katee Robert is retelling the myth and making Apollo love and value Cassandra when others do not. I can’t wait to read the rest.

The Dark Olympus series has become one of my most anticipated reads.These 5 chapters were great! Getting a preview of the 13 and Cassandra/Apollo dynamic was exciting. Can not wait for the completed book!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for giving me this Preview to read and review.

Within a small amount of pages I was absolutely engrossed in the story. The Dark Olympus series is one of my all time favourite series' and with the first five chapters being fantastic, I just know I will love the entire book.

Cassandra is amazing, snapping back when needed and Apollo is also great. Already there have been some characters mentioned from the previous books which is nice. This book has a fake dating scenario which is one of my favourite tropes. The only disappointment I had was that the preview ended.

I cannot wait to get my hands on the rest of this book and when I do, there will be a more indepth review about it. Make sure to preorder the book!

Katee does it again! This was a great glance at what is coming with the new installment of the Dark Olympus world. Those five chapters left me even more excited to read Cassandra and Apollo’s story. Can’t wait for February 7!!!

A huge thank you to Netgalley and Sourcebooks for a copy of this preview!!

I love this preview! It is definitely going to be an amazing book! I love how Roberts brings other characters from past stories in so easily! More Apollo is needed! Cassandra seems to be a complex character that I’m curious what her journey will be. Her backstory is one that I think might change the game of the series!

5/5 Stars (I'm not going to rate the book on Goodreads with a star rating as I don't wanna judge the full book off just 5 chapters)

Rep : Plus Sized MC & Queer MC (I’m not sure the specifics)

Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca and Netgalley for providing me with this sampler in exchange for an honest review.

Katee Robert is probably my all time favorite author, her representation means so much to mean, mainly her queer and neurodiverse rep as that is what resinates with me the most. I have honestly been stalking Netgalley for a while to just get any sign of a request for Radiant Sin as I could constantly read Katee Robert books and be so happy and always want more. When I saw this was up I instantly snatched it and binged it in one sitting.

This book stars Casandra and Apollo in a fake dating situation where they are supposed to hate each other but really they are both secretly into each other. All Casandra wants is to get a better life for her sister away from all of their history in Olympus but to escape Olympus takes a lot of money and resources Cassandra just can’t get even with her job with Apollo. Apollo is basically the spy master for the Thirteen and is trying to figure out what Minos is doing and if it’s truly a threat or not. There is an upcoming welcoming house party for Minos citizenship within olympus that Apollo was invited to but he isn’t good at communication so he asks Cassandra who denies him. With some help in the form of money Cassandra agrees to go to the party with Apollo to save her sister from their past and hopefully finally escape.

I am already in love with Cassandra, she is so feisty which I love in a main character. She does not care what others say about her and will snap back at whoever says something bad about her or says something she doesn’t like, no matter who they are. Apollo needs more time for me to develop opinion on him fully, I so far enjoy him but nothing stands out yet unlike Cassandra.

I absolutely can’t wait for Radiant Sin and the rest of the series. Sourcebooks Casablanca this is me begging for an arc of Radiant Sin, I absolutely need it. I love Katee Robert so much and I am a queer ownvoices review so this book is perfect for me!!!

GO PREORDER THIS BOOK NOW!!!
