Guys, i really wanted to love this one. Favorite Greek love story? Check. Plus sized main character and Igbt rep?
Check. Spice? Oh yeah, Check.
This book had all the makings of a 5 star reads but some things i just couldn't look past.
Psyche, a plus sized influencer, is often described as smelling(and even tasting) like food/desserts which bothered me. Plus sized/curvy people are regular people who just so happen to carry more weight. That does not mean they smell like a donut shop or taste like a cupcake.
The ultimatum that was given seemed confusing as well. "I can murder you or marry you". Ok but why? Ero's logic was if i marry you, my mom can't hurt you. The entire plot of this story debunks that logic. Eros essentially held psyche at gunpoint and said "marry me". The love story itself to me felt rushed.
I loved Neon Gods and Psyche and Ero's Greek story is, hands down, one of my favorites, but i couldn't in good faith give this story more than 3 stars.

Katee Robert is an instant-read author for me so I was thrilled to have been given access to an ARC of the second book i her Dark Olympus series. I really love anything mythology-oriented so I knew that I was in for a real treat with this Cupid and Psyche retelling and boy was I right, I love how Robert stays true to and maintains the integrity of the myths but still puts her own spin. The spice in these books is really unmatched and i cant wait to read the next books in this incredible series.

Oh my god I think this was the best one of the series! The plus size rep left me in tears as I finally felt seen in a book! 10/10

Extra spicy mixed with Greek God inspired characters. You know what to expect from Katee Roberts and she does not disappoint here! Great for fans of Jennifer Armentrout or Scarlett St. Clair.

This book helped me to get out of a book slump, so that right there is a huge plus. I also LOVED the ending and how Psyche was smart with her planning, though I do wonder how Aphrodite could have been that foolish, but I guess she was too excited at the chance to really think things through.

I did love the romance between the two MCs, though if you like your books clean, the language and spice-meter are high and you might not enjoy it. It worked for me in the context of the world, the storyline and the characters, but YMMV.

And I LOVE the sisterly love between Psyche and her three sisters. They are so FIERCE in trying to protect each other. I LOVE how even if they don't agree with what their mom is doing, they still love her and have family dinners together. They bicker and fight, but let ANYone from outside of their group try to lay a finger on any of them? You have to deal with ALL of them.

The drama does involve a female antagonist, but not ALL of the women are antagonistic towards each other. They have solid female friends too, though most of the book is the MCs being all mentally mushy and physically all over each other, there are scenes of female bonding AND platonic, almost sibling love between non-related members of the opposite gender, so WOOT!

4, female solidarity and TWU WUV for the win, stars!

My thanks to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for an eARC copy of this book to read and review.

Once again, Katee hits it out of the park with this book. She is so absolutely wonderful and every single book I read of hers just gets better and better.

Part of me feels like Greek mythology retellings are getting old, but theres a brand new spin on this one that I ADORE, and it’s absolutely how you do a retelling. The spice, the characters, and the plot are phenomenal.

This was not my favorite of the series but I still enjoyed it. It was super hot and the story kept me engaged. I love Katee's writing style so that will always make it at least a three star read!

I really loved this installment in the Neon Gods books. The main characters were alluring and phenomenal. I can’t wait to read more!

Fun book but lacked depth. This is a good book to just read through on vacation. Scratches the surface of what could be. Enjoyed the dual pov, but really disliked how long it took for them to acknowledge their feelings for one another. I think if they had talked sooner, the book could have ramped up more tension with the bad guy. Once again, low angst like with Neon Gods.
Good fluff read.

I absolutely love this series and this book did not let me down. I loved the vibe from the very beginning and I can’t wait to see how it continues

I get hooked to the characters while also feeling like a light, fun read

I really enjoyed this installment in the dark olympus series. We get to see a bit more of the world in this one and how the politics work, which is so interesting to me. The plot was really interesting and I did like the two main characters and their chemistry. It was definitely a good read.

Katee Robert is amazing as always! I always love her books and am currently on a mission to read every single one. Just like the last book in the series, Electric Idol blew me away and kept me hooked from start to finish... I love this series and will continue to read ALL of them. I honestly don't know how Katee Robert is able to publish multiple books a year and STILL make every single one showstopping. I loved this book and will continue reading the whole series (and anything and everything Katee publishes)

I love katee robert but sadly I didn’t love this one. The plot was just not believable and really quite stupid, overall it felt rushed and lazy. Not her best.

i liked this! definitely had a good amount of steamier moments and i appreciated reading about a plus size MC.

Honestly Katee Robert could write a phone book and I would read it from front to back without stopping. Electric Idol was no different! The spice and plot were AMAZING through this entire thing.

I was super excited to get my hands on the second book in the Dark Olympus series. I am greatly enjoying Katee Robert's new vision of Olympus. Here we get Psyche's story. Psyche has pissed off Aphrodite and she is now going to have to face off with Aphrodite's son Eros. Eros has been his mother's assassin for a long time, and has had no problem taking out his mother's competition. Then his mother sends him after Psyche and he just can't do it. He finds in Psyche a warmth he has never felt anywhere else.

The author did an excellent job introducing this new aspect to the Dark Olympus realm. Psyche and Eros are amazing characters that need each other. Their love story is moving and their sex scenes are hot. There is romantic times and some fast paced intrigue. This is a fast read because you will not be able to put it down.

I highly recommend this book!

I was provided a copy of this book through NetGalley for an honest review of the material.
