I love Katee Robert's books. She does the Olympians so well in this series I loved Helen Petroculus and Achilles' relationship they were hot together and in the arena to fight for the title of Ares. Helen uses her beauty, brains and athleticism to push forward in this competition. She has something to prove and wants to make her own name which I respect.

Another incredible read by Robert. This is beyond. I am amazed that these books just keep getting better and better and I can’t wait for the next installment.

Achilles was born with nothing, but he voewd that he would find his way into the inner circle of the powerful 13. He finally has a chnace to do so. His partner Patroclus joins him in the games for the coveted role. But unexpectedly they discover that the beautiful Helen is part of the prize.
Helen has had enough of people controlling her, so she enters the competition, set on winning a seat at the table as well as the power to make her own decisions.

Achilles and Patroclus were not part of the plan, but she can't keep her hands off them.

We know I adore anything written by @katee_robert and this book is no exception.

The boys, ah how I love them, their dynamic, together and apart. I just absolutely love the characters and wish we had longer with them.
Helen is everything one wants in a main heroine and I seriously adored reading every scene with her in it.

The dynamic between all three was written spectacularly and I know I'll be revisiting this book soon. They just absolutely work together and I love Katee for taking another spin on this myth.


They really are adorable and the evolution of their relationship is so much fun to read.

Of course it's also spicy as all Katee Robert books are 😁

But seriously, such a fun plot, with really enjoyable characters who feel well developed it's a must read for any person who is a fan of spicy Greek Mythology Retellings 🥺

Like most humans in the world, I’m a sucker for Greek Mythology.
I'm a special sucker for all things Achilles.
Obviously, I was going to like this book.
The ending was pretty underwhelming, but overall it was an enjoyable quick read.

I will never get enough of Katee Robert's books. Just when I don't think she'll top her last book, she surprises me. This book is fantastic!

I really enjoyed this one as much as the first two books in the series. I like that all the characters have a distinct personality and voice, which I sometimes find lacking with multiple POV books. The spicy scenes were great but some were skip over and took place behind closed pages, so to speak. Which was the only disappointing part of the book.

I love Katee Robert and her Dark Olympus series. This might be my favorite book in the series so far. I loved the dynamic between Helen, Achilles and Patroclus. I always feel like Robert rushes the endings of all her books, but I keep coming back for more! I look forward to the rest of the series

Katee Bae does it again - her reimagination of mythology is just what you didn’t know you needed. Third installment of DO brings us to Helen, Achilles & Patroclus. Power, strength and cunning are the name of the game and it delivers. The relationship between the three is solidly built despite the short amount of time they are together - I do wish there was more of an epilogue because as much as getting to the end game was great - I wanted to see the impact the 3 would have on Olympus. Was it worth it? I’m sure we’ll tidbits as we move on in the series and I’m looking forward to it. Can’t wait for Cassandra and Apollo!!!

WHEW. I knew when I read the 5-chapter sampler that I would love this - and I did; finished the entire thing in one sitting.

I've always been a Patroclus girl, and I still am with Wicked Beauty. He's just so wholesome, I want to protect him with my life. I also love how gentle he is with Helen, because she needs gentle. Helen is my girl since Electric Idol, and she really impressed me in this one with her strength and resilience. Achilles...eh, not much a fan, but I love him with Patroclus and Helen, so there's that at least.

Overall, I still think Electric Idol has me in a chokehold (there's something about Eros and Psyche that's hard to defeat by any other couple), but Wicked Beauty is a great contender. Can't wait for Radiant Sin!

Well hot damn - Dark Olympus just keeps getting HOTTER 🔥

Step into Olympus and the battle to become the next Ares with Helen Of Troy, Achilles and Patroclus. While both Achilles and Patroclus have partnered to win, the beautiful Helen is determined to win her freedom.

Sexy and oh so saucy, the attraction that sizzles between these three is off the charts - enemies, competitors or allies 😉

4.5 stars

I adore the Dark Olympus series so I had to have this one. A story between Achilles, Patroclus and Helen? Sign me up! The trio are all competing to be the next Ares. Patroclus and Achilles have been a couple awhile when they decide to make Helen their 3rd. This book was hot and sexy. If you like Greek retelling you should try this one!

A loose retelling of Helen of Troy, Achilles, and Patroclus which has hot and steamy sex scenes so beware if you are not looking for this. Book was written well and it is the 3rd book in the series and I would recommend you start with the other first book in the series if you have not read it so you don't feel lost. There is adventure, challenges to be won for the next free seat on Olympus, and steamy sex scenes with Helen, Achilles, and Patroclus.

If you want to take your mythology to the not and bother level this is the book for you. You definitely won't be bored!

Not my favourite Katee book... but I still really enjoyed Helen, Patroclus and Achilles. This MMF pairing worked out well, but I felt like something was missing between the three of them. I appreciated how Katee set up Patroclus and Achilles open relationship from the start, and how Helen did seem to fit with each of them.

Oh hot damn. This book is sexy and fierce.

I loved the dynamics between everyone and the thrill of the chase, so to speak.

The sex was thrilling, and the trials kept me on the edge of my seat.

Action, sex, and contempt make for one hell of a story.

I've read every book in this series so far and they're all okay. I appreciate what Katee did in this one. She's expanding to give more diversity and writing strong female characters. But I think I have the most trouble with the writing. It just falls flat most of the time.

This is only the second book in the Dark Olympus series that I’ve read having read Neon Gods but skipping Electric Idol. I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy this one as I wasn’t terribly investing in Hades and Persephone’s story in the first book. But I absolutely loved following Helen, Achilles and Patroclus in this story.

This book has it all. A badass female main character, a 3 tiered tournament, and a fantastic mmf triad. When Helen’s brother Zeus announces the winner of the Ares tournament gets to marry his sister, Helen does not let that stop her from joining to complete for the title of Ares. But many other people also join. Some for the publicity, some for the position of Ares, and some just to be with Helen. Achilles and Patroclus join in hopes of getting Achilles the position of Ares. But while they live in close proximity to Helen, they learn that that’s not the only prize.

I very much enjoyed learning more about how Olympus politics work. I think for me that was missing in Neon Gods because so much of the book happens disconnected from the public’s eye. We’re introduced to an overall arcing series plot at the end of the book leaving open so much for potential.

I also love books with tournaments and trials. Each event was different and required certain skills. All while having the title of Ares hang in the balance as the competition is sudden death (sometimes quite literally). Katee Robert’s also does an amazing job with the smut. As per usual. I’ll definitely be continuing with the series. And going back and picking up Electric Idol.

Y'all this one is SPICY! It may not be everyone's cup of teaz but I absolutely loved these characters and this series. I can't wait to see what book four brings because it keeps getting better and better.

4.5 rounded up

4/5 stars
3.5/5 spice

This has to be one of my favourite books of the year so far. Sex positive. Empowering. Cheeky. Brilliant. Hot AF!

The writing style and the plot were simply phenomenal. I was trapped by this story instantly and I’ve been pining for more from these characters ever since.

All three main characters are some similar, yet so distinct in their own way. I love their little quirks and how they interact with each other on a one-to-one basis, but also collectively as a group.

This book definitely has mature and adult themes and some content that might be a bit brow-raising.

I’ve loved this series in its entirety, however this book takes the top step by a large margin.

I love this series! Anything based on mythology (loosely or not), especially with some steam, and I’m in! I’m ready for the next installments!

EXCELLENT. I loved the spicyness, the cut throat competition, the LGBTQIAP, just everything about this novel is just chef's kiss. I have loved every book in this series and Wicked Beauty won't let you down.
