Another one that tugs at the heartstrings! I love how they were ex-lovers and managed to work things out. I'm astonished how much sex fit into this book, but there you have it...
The tie-in to Olympus and Sabine Valley was a surprise. I didn't think there would be, since Olympus has their own Hades already, and I don't think this is the same one... Curious what it means to have two of them in the same world. I'm totally reading all these books out of order 😅

This is a trio I didn't know I needed to be together until I read it. It's lots of fun and I appreciate seeing Isabelle begin to explore who she is and what she wants, not just what she is expected to be.

Moderate: Grief, Death, and Death of parent
Minor: Cancer
As with the other books in the series there is a high level of sexual content containing BDSM. There is frequent discussion over the character's shared grief over the loss of Isabelle's father - prior the start of this book. There is brief discussion of death and cancer in relation to the loss of the father, but it's a glossed over topic.jackiepreston's review against another edition

[ETA, a few days later: Rating lowered from 4 to 3.75 stars.]
I enjoyed this book like I enjoy all of Katee’s books. It was fascinating to me, seeing how this series was tied not only to Dark Olympus, but also to Sabine Valley, which means that now I want to read SV. I swear, this woman is an actual genius.
I loved Belle and Gaeton, but while I eventually grew to understand and respect Beast, I didn’t like him the same way. I liked the dynamics among the trio, liked the three of them well enough, but didn’t find myself shipping them as avidly as I do some of the other relationships in the series. My favorite parts of the book were those that involved other characters—namely Aurora, Tink and Hook. Tink’s book is my favorite so far, and I’m very eager to get to Aurora’s. I’m currently convinced that Ms. Robert saved the best for last. 👀 [crying because I now know that this isn’t true]

Moderate: Terminal illness, Cancer, Death of parent, and Grief
Belle’s father died of cancer just before the start of the book, so that’s mentioned occasionally. She’s grieving him, as are the other two protagonists, who weren’t biologically related to the man but were especially close to him/viewed him as a father figure regardless.
