3 thief stars

Ex-thief, turned successful artist, Perseus has promised his sister to get legit. But when a mysterious group named Pithos kidnaps her, he has no choice but to accept their demand: steal Medusa's necklace. Things don't go as planned and Medusa and Perseus end up working together to free his sister. Shenanigans ensue.
 
I wanted a bit more of both Perseus and Medusa, we barely scratched the surface of their characters and their relationship. It went too fast and we didn't get to see the emotional connection between them. I still like the court (it's giving such an "inner circle" vibe) and I can't wait to read Hades' book.

So, yeah I binge-read this series.

As I said, it was very entertaining.

I will post this review on each of them because I don't care and I am not reviewing every single one of them.

However, this combination of dystopian elements with Modern Day Greece and Ancient Greek Gods reemerging, was chefs' kiss! I need to find this, but better than this.

Although I enjoyed it there are many issues with these books, so I am rating all of them 2 stars.

However, do not doubt that Alessa Thorn will be an author I will be adding to my list because whenever I need a fast read with smut, fantastical elements I'll be checking her out.

Another fantastic entry to the Court of the Underworld series.  I enjoyed the introduction of Perseus and Dany. And getting to know about Medusa and how she fits into the Court of Styx.  And you can’t forget the spice! Always simmering and enjoyable.
