What an amazing introduction!! I love the dynamic between these three characters, the charged tension between Achilles and Helen, the closeness with Helen and Patroclus, the entirely-too-casual-but-really-isn't relationship between Patroclus and Achilles. I love the backdrop of the trials as well, the fight be the next Ares, one of the Thirteen. I have no idea who will come out on top, which only makes me want to read the whole story even more.

Definitely worth the hype, if you are into menage romance novels.

4.5 STARS for this 5 CHAPTER PREVIEW

***Thanks to NetGalley & Sourcebooks Casablanca***

I love a Katee Robert thruple and this book preview promises to deliver. I was instantly hooked by the premise, and loved seeing all the Dark Olympus characters and locations from the first 2 books. Achilles, Patroclus & Helen are going to be showstoppers I can already tell.

Available June 7, 2022. Is it Summer yet? ❤️🖤

If the only job of these preview chapters is to make me want to read Wicked Beauty when it comes out, then this definitely succeeded. Wicked Beauty is sure to be an incredibly interesting dive into political court intrigue, along with a romance pairing that I am now very invested in. It laid out what to be expected perfectly, and made me want more. Additionally, I’m looking forward to seeing how the various characters develop, and how the relationship will ultimately fit together. After this hint, I can’t wait to read the book and see what happens next!

Obsessed and CANNOT wait for more!! Helen is such a tough cookie and I ADORE the relationship with Achilles and Patroclus. I can’t wait to see how their story evolves!

This preview just has me SO EXCITED for the whole book. Can't wait to find out what happens!!! I've been loving this series and I'm so excited to see the dynamic between Helen, Achilles, and Patroclus

Is it too early to say this is going to be a 5 star read?!

I am beyond sold on this book, based on this preview. We have a MMF set up and they are all perfect. Not to mention Helen is a badass heroine who will not let others dictate her path.

I am beyond excited to read more and I don’t know how I’m going to last until June to continue this story. But I will be anxiously awaiting this book.

I'm excited for this one. I think I'm going to enjoy the dynamic between Helen, Achilles and Patroclus. I like the relationship between the two men, they seem to really care for each other. I think Helen is going to be a powerhouse. I can't wait for her to show up everyone and prove herself to all of Olympus, especially her siblings.

I'm so glad we will have 3 POVs, and I loved Helen since the first, June 7th should come sooner to read the rest!

I read the first two books of this series as fast as I could. The world building is exciting and the stories are intense, and very sexy. When I had the opportunity to read the first five chapters of the upcoming title, I jumped. I'm sure I'm not the only one waiting for Perseus/Zeus and Callisto/Hera's story, but this is not it. I was not at all disappointed to see that it was Helen, Hercules, and Patroclus's story reimagined here, and I cannot wait to read it through the end. I will be buying this for my library, and again for myself.

Katee Robert is one of my favourite authors right now. Wicked Beauty is the next installment in the Olympus series and it sounds as though it's going to be just as fun as the others. I can't wait to see how the tournament plays out!

“She’s like some old-word queen who could inspire entire countries to go to war on her behalf.” -Patroclus

This latest installment of the Dark Olympus series is so fun! Although we only got a mere glimpse with this sneak peek, I love the world building with a twist through Robert’s lens with each addition to the series. Watching the storyline unfurl through characters on the periphery of ones we already love, the inclusion of Helen, Patroclus, Achilles, hector, Paris, Ajax, Athena, etc. makes for a great read.

Having recently read Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles, the mythological tale is relatively fresh with familiarity and therefore I was able to really love Robert's take on the love story between Achilles and Patroclus. It was a trip to explore Robert’s vision as it unfolds and weaves into her already established realm with the added elements of a competition for the Ares title and a fluid love triangle between Achilles, Helen and Patroclus. Never underestimate someone with a public party girl reputation!

I will be looking forward to reading the rest of the book upon its release and have my fingers crossed for a full ARC!

Thank you Net Galley, Katee and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ability to peek a preview of this highly anticipated book!

This is classic Katee Robert - if you’ve read the other books in her dark Olympus series then you know what to expect. I’m super excited to read the rest of this book - only a couple chapters were not enough!!!!!

I devoured this sampler of Wicked Beauty!! The Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert is one of my favorite mythology retellings, with romantic and heart pounding twists. I absolutely can’t wait to see how the adventure continues for Helen, Patroclus, and Achilles. As the contestants compete to claim the title of Ares, only one thing is certain- there’s no telling who will end up the victor. Wicked Beauty releases June 7, 2022. Thank you so much to Katee Robert, Sourcebooks Casablanca, and Netgalley for a free chapter sampler in exchange for honest feedback.

I'm so happy I was given the opportunity to read the first 5 chapters of Wicked Beauty! In such a short span of time, we were able to meet the main characters and get a feel for what future interactions between them might be like. I have no doubts that this book will be another great addition to the Dark Olympus family, and I look forward to reading it in its entirety come June!

I was so excited to read this preview for Wicked Beauty. It is a five-chapter preview and it is a great introduction. It's a modern retelling of Helen of Troy and I was happy to get to meet and get a good background for the characters. I can already tell that it is going to be SPICY with that whole scene between Patroclus and Achilles. I can already feel the tension and intrigue of the story so I am so excited to read the rest of this book.

"Not in the arena. And not with my man." -From Wicked Beauty

5 chapters in: 4 stars

The start of this book is a full on intro to a whole cast of characters. There was a little drama, a little intrigue, a little spice; everything a reader might want. I felt like most of the action will start after the intro I received, so I'm eager to read more and see where this story featuring Helen, Achilles, and Patroclus goes.

Thanks to NetGalley, the publisher, and the author for a 5 chapter preview.

I was excited to see this preview Of Wicked Beauty was available to read now. I’ve been seeing a lot of buzz about the other books in this series and now I understand why. I quickly read the first 5 chapters. Helen, Achilles and Patroclus are going to be a joy to read - both the completion and the relationship. Now I am hooked, ordered Neon God and Electric Idol, and started counting down the days until the complete book is out.

I'm very lucky to have been able to read the first 5 chapters of this book and this is going to be an outstanding book!! I absolutely love Patroclus and Achilles and I love M/M/F romances and mixing the two with Helen Kasios, this is going to be the hottest book of the year! I can't wait to read the finished book.

This preview of Wicked Beauty has me needing the complete book *now*!!! I was already excited for it, but now it's all I can think about. I have no idea how I'm going to wait until June to read the rest. If full ARCs become available I will definitely be applying for one!

I loved the first two books in this series, and even though this is a sneak peak I was hooked.

I am interested in exploring more of the past relationship between Patroclus and Helen, along with how Achilles will be in the mix. The scene between Patroclus and Achilles just had steam jumping off the page and I am so excited to dive back into this amazing world.
