I have just read the Preview thanks to #Netgalley and I can tell you that this one will be JUICCCCCY!

In this one we follow Helen, the new Zeus sister. With the passing of the previous Aries, the competition for the new one will began and Helen wants to join the race. Except, before she can make her desires known her brother, Perseus, announces that she will be given in marriage to the next Aries (Damn, her heart is crushed!). But of course Helen is not going to give up without a fight even if it means that she has to join one.

I particularly liked a line where Zeus tell her that whoever marries her would have to treat her right or he will make her a widow. That line did something to me. Not to overthink, but I just consider families were your loyalty and commitment ranked based on your acceptance of their abuse!

Anyways, we also have Achilles and Patroclus who are absolutely fucking! Achilles will be joining the competition. There is a lot of sexual tension between Patroclus and Helen, and honestly I can feel a threesome in the future of this book. Just saying!

I’m so glad this preview was on NetGalley ! The Dark Olympus series has quickly become one of my new favorite series. I binged Electric Idol in two days! This preview was everything I wanted and more!! I can’t wait to be able to finish this book once it comes out! June needs to hurry up and get here! I can’t wait to find out what happens with Helen, Achilles and Patroclus!!! I love Katee Robert so much!!

Let me start off with saying I am an absolute sucker for Greek Mythology and anything to do with Greek Gods in general. So obviously I loved this book. I was a little confused at the beginning of the book, but it was pretty easy to figure everything out. Will def be buying this as soon as it comes out!

I'm a huge fan of Katee Robert's work, and I am so excited to get my hands on the whole book! Mythology retellings are my absolute favorites, and Katie never fails to turn myths into much more interesting stories. As of reading the first five chapters, I can say that this book is absolutely going to be so good!

This book was just not my cup of tea. For one thing, the profanity was a little overboard to me. When the very first line of the book contains an F-bomb, you know you're in for a wild ride. I was excited because I thought it was a retelling of Greek mythology, but the way it is written makes it read more like a futuristic, sci-fi book. Which I am unfortunately just not into. I do like that the protagonist is a strong-willed female as opposed to a damsel in distress, but, aside from that, I did not care for this sample and would not choose to read the rest of the book.

Oh man Katee can honestly do no wrong. This preview was everything I needed to hold me over until the book comes out. This is one of my most anticipated books for the summer!

As always Katee Robert nocks it out of the park I’m so excited to read the rest of this book!

This was just a sample I know and I can’t wait

I’ve on Katee patreon and it have me so ready

YES. Just YES. The fact that these 5 chapters are both engaging and masterfully written is absolutely no surprise when you see who the author is. I am already hooked on this story, and can't wait to see what Helen does moving forward. June 7th is too far away, but for this author the wait is worth it!

With only the first 5 chapters, I know this book is going to be so good! I already know Helen is going to be one of my new favorite leads. June 7th cannot come fast enough!

Quite literally OBSESSED with this world, so excited for the newest book!! The preview has my mouth watering to read the rest.

The first 5 chapters of this book is amazing. The story really pulls you in and I’m desperate to learn how this plays out in the novel. There are so so many moving parts and Katee’s writing is incredible. I cannot wait for June to finish this.

I’m heartbroken this sample isn’t longer. I’m so ready for this book!! Katee is an auto-buy author, and I already know this MMF is going to be too good.

I've been hearing so many good things about the Dark Olympus series online, and this did not disappoint. This was my first introduction to the series, but I'll definitely be buying this book and more. I can't wait to see more Helen, Patroclus, and Achilles, as well as the competition. This preview already got me hooked.

Absolutely obsessed with this. Can't wait to read more! Achilles, Patroclus, and Hellen make a show-stopping triad, one that could only come from the brilliant mind of Robert. The Dark Olympus series has completely sucked me in, and I will read anything and everything that comes from it!

Why was this all we got?! Just from this preview I can tell we are in for a wild ride. I cannot wait. This is already what I expected from Katee Robert. The story telling is great. I am already loving these characters and I cant wait to read more. I wish I didnt have to wait so long. I can tell this is going to be a spectacular steamy read. This just makes me so pumped for it.

This is such an exciting twist on the Achilles-Patroclus and Helen of Troy plot line! I love that she’s taking charge of her own journey instead of the standard damsel in distress of the original myth. I also and thoroughly tickled by the thruple prospects of this book. Can’t wait for the rest!

I love seeing a new twist on the Achilles-Patrocles plot and throwing in Helen to complicate the dynamics makes this all the more fun. I love that Helen isn’t helpless in this and she is choosing to take upon herself the competition for being Ares. Can’t wait for the rest!

Katee Robert. She has done it again!!!

I was introduced to her last summer when "Neon Gods" was flooding my Bookstagram account and people telling me it was spicy. And boy was it!

I have not read "Electric Idol" yet (shame on me) but have it on my shelf to dive into which I hope to very soon and after reading this preview, it may be my push.

I do think I need some sort of chart when it comes to these books as people are taking the place of other people so there will always be a Zeus, Hera, Ares, etc. The beginning was a little rough setting the stage and bring up all the gods/goddesses but after the first chapter it all fell into place.

I am a huge fan of "The Song of Achilles" and that has been my exposure to these characters and naturally I had them in mind.

In the preview we get the set up of the story: There is a gala to discuss the announcement of new Ares. There will three trials & the winner will becoming the next Ares and will also marry Helen. Helen does not want to be a prize and marry a stranger. She has her eyes set on becoming Ares herself. In addition to Helen POV we also have a POV from Achilles and Patroclus. They have an unconventional relationship and both are competing in the trial. Patroclus and Helen have a history as being childhood friends and is going to do what it takes to make sure Achilles win.

I did not want the book to end after Chapter 5 and June 2022 seems so far away!!!!

Thank you to NetGalley, the publisher and Katee Robert for providing me the first five chapters of Wicked Beauty in exchange for an honest review.
The second I saw this I knew I had to read it- I was gifted Neon Gods for Christmas so was super duper excited to see another of Katee's books.
I absolutely love Greek Mythology so to have the books centred around that makes me so excited!
The first 5 chapters did. not disappoint and I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the book when it releases

Thanks Netgalley, the publisher and the author for the first 5 chapters of this book as a preview prior to release in June.

I cannot wait to read the rest ... seriously. It is amazing already.
