I've been loving why choose/poly books lately (something I never thought i'd enjoy). This book has more depth to the characters and we learn more about our main two especially (Aphrodite and Hephaestus). I really enjoyed the characters' dynamics with one another. Loved the Aphrodite and Hephaestus dynamic the best, their 2nd spice scene was everything. Honestly, they're the type of enemies to lovers that I enjoy. I'm hoping to find more books where the characters are actually enemies and hate each other. Although I enjoyed the dynamics, I wish we got more Adonis and Aphrodite scenes because I feel like we were told about their relationship instead of shown. Also, I thought they were going to all be crazy for one another and sadly that wasn't the case.
Spice Rating: 🌶️🌶️🌶️/5 (one of her least spiciest in the series in my opinion; also love how much consent and protection is prioritized in these books)

This addition to the Dark Olympus series left so much to be desired. The chemistry that Katee Robert can make so effortless felt clunky and confusing. The timing was rushed, the relationships didn't have time to fill out and at 3/4's of the way through I could not believe it was almost time to close the book.
Eris/Aphrodite is such a complicated and interesting character and I wish we would have spent more time with her and the mess Katee Robert's promised.

I love the Dark Olympus series - definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I find the plot-to-spice ratio to be relatively well balanced (both are buck wild, so it evens out). I also love the variety of relationship types that Katee represents in her stories. This one is heading towards a polyamorous throuple +1.
As with all Katee Roberts books that I've read so far, check trigger warnings on her site. Some notable triggers for this book include: mentions of abuse, violence, murder, blood
