Loved the preview of Helen's book! Counting down the days until this is available. Five out of five stars!

I am positively elated to have the opportunity to sample the first several chapters in this book. The instant I completed work for the day, I raced to my Kindle to read the first five chapters of Katee Robert’s newest book that did not disappoint. I find myself wanting, nay needing, more! The June release date of Wicked Beauty will not arrive soon enough!

Those five chapters were EVERYTHING! I can't wait to read the rest of it. I already know it's going to be a five star read!

I ALREADY KNOW this book is going to be amazing.

My heart can't take only reading 5 chapters BUT I am already feeling hot & ready for the rest of the book. I absolutely loved Helen from the last book and now I am so excited to see what happens next!!

We leave on such a steamy note and I am dying to know how the trials go for the next Ares!

JUNE PLEASE HURRY I NEED THIS BOOK!!!!

I just finished Electric Idol and while I liked it, in my review I shared that it fell flat and was missing action to really drive the story. I feel the COMPLETE opposite about Wicked Beauty. I was immediately sucked into the story from the beginning. Katee does a great job of setting the scene and pulling you in right away.

I can already tell Helen is going to be my favorite heroine so far. I love Persephone, and enjoyed Psyche, but Helen has the sass and vibrancy I love in a heroine. I can already tell she's going to be a total badass and I can't wait. I'm a sucker for an established M/M relationship that adds a woman into the mix. Katee mastered this in her Twisted Hearts series so I know I'm going to love this.

Now that we know Callisto (Hera) and Perseus (Zeus) will get their own story (not in the first 7 books) I am watching their every interaction. They barely interacted in these five chapters, but when they did I was craving more. I just know their tension is going to be immaculate.

I cannot wait for this book to be out!

Cannot wait to read the rest of this. Katee is amazing at setting the stakes quickly and I am dying to read the rest of this complicated love story. I love that Helen is fighting for herself and the tension between the three of them is perfection.

Oh my god! I cannot wait for June!! I’m so excited to dive back into The World of Olympus with Helen, Achilles and Patroclus. I tell that the banter between the three of them is going to be so good and their relationship is going to be HOT AF!!

Cannot wait to read this! Just from the 5 chapters I can tell I’m going to absolutely love it!

Helen seems like such a powerful woman, and I love that.

Definitely an interesting premise - not sure who I am rooting for to become Ares; feels like it could go either way at the moment. Loving the Reverse Harem vibes and it seems like it will be super action-packed! Cant wait for the full story!

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. I cannot tell you the excitement that this excerpt gives me… It is so good. From the very first chapter, I was hooked, and would give anything to keep reading right now. I read the first book in the series, neon gods, and while I liked it, I did not feel the same excitement that I feel now. I just got the sequel, electric idol, in the mail yesterday, and despite not having the chance to read it yet, I still understood everything that was going on.

We only get a brief introduction to the characters in this excerpt, but I already love them all. They’re really fleshed out, and I’m so excited to read where their story will go from here.

This Hunger Games-esque novel follows Helen Kasios, who is both prize and competitor for the title of Ares, along with Achilles and Patroclus, two other competitors who are involved with each other. A strong, solid throuple, Robert gives equal time to all three characters. It was interesting to see how Achilles and Patroclus’s long-standing relationship opened up to involve Helen, and honestly, the sex scenes were beyond hot. I am excited to see where Robert takes the series as a whole.

I was looking forward to this book long before I read the first 5 chapters. Now it's dialed up to 11.

Helen doesn't get much agency in the mythology, poems, or plays. She's a pawn, prize, wife, and mother. When Katee Robert announced the third book would be Helen, Achilles and Patroclus in a throuple, my ears pricked up. Of course it's going to be sexy, but also, Katee is going to give Helen agency and power. AND, I was excited that Helen would not be paired with Menelaus or Paris, neither of whom deserved Helen.

Katee weaves elements of the mythology in to the early part of Wicked Beauty. Helen, daughter of the former Zeus and sister to the current Zeus, is determined to seize her own power. On the death of Ares, there is a competition open to anyone to become the new Ares. Helen plans to compete, as do Achilles and Patroclus. And Paris, and Theseus and The Minotaur. No one is expecting Helen to be much competition. I can't wait to see how both the competition and the possible alliance with Achilles and Patroclus plays out. Seriously bouncing on my toes here.

OH HECK YES. I am already so invested in this! Anyone who read Katee Robert's Island of Y series knows she writes a KILLER tournament book. Neon Gods and Electric Idol were fantastic but I can already tell this book is going to top them. I can't wait!!!

AHHHHHHHH, I cannot wait to read all of this book.
The five-chapter preview was the best tease! My girl Helen is going to kick ass!

This preview was phenomenal and such a tease into the book! I'm so excited to learn more about Patroclus and Achilles relationship and Helen's soon-to-be involvement in it. I can tell this is going to be a super steamy installment in the series and Katee Robert always delivers in fun sex-positive ways that delight, educate, and enthrall her readers. I can't wait for Wicked Beauty to be fully released so that I can read the book in its entirety.

I'm immediately so in love with Helen, Achilles, and Patroclus. The tension between the three of them in just the first few chapters is so good, and I cannot wait for more. I also adored the brief conversation Helen had with Hera. I'm really excited to see more of her interactions with the thirteen over the next few books.

I just finished the preview and holy shit!!!! I need to read the whole book like RIGHT NOW! I need to get my hands on the ARC! I’m already in love with Helen. She seems so interesting and powerful. Her wanting to become Ares is so badass! Can’t wait to read more of the book

I just completed reading Electric Idol and was on a bit of a book hangover. I logged into NetGalley and was very lucky to get a preview of this book! I could not contain my excitement so I dropped everything to read the first couple of chapters and loved them. I am eagerly awaiting the release of this book even more now that I have gotten a taste.

If this is just a taste of what’s to come June is too far for me for the release of Wicked Beauty. All three main characters of Helen Achilles and Patroclus already intrigue me. From the short preview you see that Helen has always wanted to become Aries in order to finally have freedom and when she becomes a prize that doesn’t stop her from wanting to become the winner of the competition to be Aries. Achilles and Patroclus have a plan so that Achilles will win the competition and they knew that Achilles might have to marry someone if he becomes Aries but they had no idea that the prize Helen would enter the competition as well. You can already see that both Helen and Achilles are going to want Patroclus. I’m intrigued to see how this plays out .

The universe that Katee Robert has created with this series is incredibly interesting and when I heard the premise of this book, I was super excited. Reading these chapters has made me look forward to the release even more. The format was a little wonky on my kindle, but I’m sure it’ll get worked out for the final release.
