Love, love, love being able to get previews on Netgalley! I wasn't a big fan of Neon Gods by this author but this book looks really interesting (and spicy)! I'm a big mythology fan so I want to keep giving Roberts a chance and now that I'm waiting on Wicked Beauty, I need to pick up Electric Idol.

I can’t wait for this book to come out! Such an interesting start to the book. The fact that there are lgbtqia characters makes me love this series even more.

Oh my I've heard this author knows how to write an inventive steamy romance and these sample chapters have left me in no doubt about it ! I'm loving the idea of Olympians in a modern world setting and the twist of them having to compete for what could be hereditary positions is very original. Add in a very determined heroine and two guys clearly devoted to each other and I very much look forward to reading this book when it's published.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Ummmm yasssss!!!
After those first 5 chapters, I’ll be anxiously awaiting the rest of the book.
Highly recommend adding this to your list to check out when it releases in June

I was able to read the first 5 chapters of this and I DEVOURED it! I actually kind of regret reading the preview because I NEED the full book now. I liked Helen in the previous book and could tell she was more than meets the eye. That becomes apparent very early on in this book. Achilles and Patroclus….I’m already in love with them. I can’t wait for this book to be released. I know it’s going to be steamy but also angsty. Pretty much everything I adore, especially when the heroine decides that she wants to take control of her own destiny!

I’m so excited to read the rest of this book! This five chapter preview was not enough! I’m excited for these characters. I love modern retellings of the gods and goddesses.

Wow. This was fantastic! I need the rest of the book like, yesterday. Chapters 1-5 were not enough. I think the rest of Wicked Beauty is going to be so good. Helen seems so confident and powerful, and Achilles and Patroclus are hot. Very excited for the rest of this book to come out, and particularly I can't wait till it comes out on audio. Audio is definitely my preferred reading for the Dark Olympus series.

Never read anything in this genre before and wasnt sure what to expect, I was pleasantly surprised and would be interested in reading more of Katees work. 5 stars for what i read hope to read the rest of it.

I have received a preview of this book in exchange for an honest review on NetGalley, I was so excited, it is one of my most anticipated reads of the year (I tore through the first two Dark Olympus Books so quickly!) and this was an amazing taste at what is to come.
I love the world building in this series, the fact that the Gods are a title and position more instead of a person is such a great way of building a new and unique view of these characters. I find that the 21st Century, urban setting is a good way of making these personalities accessible, not to mention relevant.
My interest in Helen in particular was piqued in Electric Idol, I wanted to know her motivation and goals, it was clear even as a side character that she was more than a vapid party girl. From the beginning I adored Helens attempts to secure her own agency and I am excited to see how this develops.
The groundwork is very evidently set for Helen x Achilles x Patroclus and I am excited and curious to see how this plays out. The establishment of childhood friendship between Helen and Patroclus adds an additional dimension to their relationship that I am eager to see expand and the dynamic with Achilles too.
The taste of the spice in this book was great and the dynamic between Achilles and Patroclus was well written,
I always find that the mark of an authentic and genuine retelling of Greek Mythology is taking the stance that Paris is the worst, which, was confirmed early in this sample.

I’m so excited for the full book!! I love seeing the setup of how the relationship will develop between the three as well as the hints of chaotic Callisto energy!!!

Katee Robert's mythology retellings all stand out compared to others and based on these few chapters, Wicked Beauty is no exception to her excellence. In just the beginning chapters, she sets the scene for what promises to be an epic battle for the title of Ares as well as what might turn out to be a perfect power throuple. All three of the main characters have an uphill battle in the fight for Ares (and love??) and I can't wait to read the rest of this book and see how it plays out.

These first 5 chapters were so good!! They had me totally hooked.

This series is so good and I can’t wait to read the rest of the book.

The fact that this is an Achilles/Patroclus AND Helen story? screaming. Katee Robert didn't fail us with Hades and Persephone. She didn't fail us with Eros and Psyche. There is no way she will fail us with these three and after reading the first five chapters, I KNOW this to be true. I love a modern retelling of the Gods!

Having read the first five chapters in this preview, all I can say is I cannot wait to read more when Wicked Beauty comes out. Katee Robert has never disappointed so far, and from what I can tell, she's not about to break that streak with this book. I am excited to see how she juggles the dyanmic between Helen's, Achilles' and Patroclus' given their competing goals and differing personalities. I also loved the glimpse of where Zeus & Hera stand at the moment; can't wait for their story to be told.

Oh my goodness, what an absolutely wonderful taste of Wicked Beauty! I can't wait for its release so I can have more Achilles/Patroclus.

I’m so excited to read the rest of this book! This five chapter preview was just enough to get me hooked. I can’t wait to learn more about the characters and how this story will unfold.

I jumped when I saw this on NetGalley!

I am intrigued by the love triangle potential that could come in this book. Patroclus and Achilles bring some serious spice to the story. 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 This might be a love triangle like no love triangle before.

This story also hooked me in right from the get go and I don't imagine my rating to change come the full release. Right now chapters 1-5 are getting ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me!

Just from reading the first 5 chapters this dark Olympus is going to be hot. I am so ready for all the Achilles and Patroclus. I first read them with another author and that was sweet and poetic now I’m ready to the version of them that is dark and smutty. I already know Helen is going to be a force to be reckoned with and I can’t wait to see her character development.

I can't wait for this novel to be released! I was already excited for it but now moreso with the preview. I definitely recommend reading other titles in the Dark Gods series.

This sounds like it's going to be my favorite book from the series and I can't wait to read more of it.
In the first 5 chapters we had:
Mystery.
Steamy scenes.
Mischief.
Amazing chemistry.
Again... can't wait for this book!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read the first 5 chapters of this book in exchange for an honest review.
