I picked up this book at Barnes and Nobles after reading the first book in the series, “Neon Gods”. I fell in love with the first book and knew I had to read this one. I loved the plot & characters of this book, even more so than the first. The main protagonist, Pysche, I adored. I loved the fact she was a plus size woman too. Overall, my new favorite book and series.

Wholly different from Neon Gods with some linguistic similarities but no less enjoyable. I have a strong pull toward Hades and Persephone for some unknown reason but I really liked this Psyche and Eros retelling. Psyche is stunning in this novel and made me want to be her. The spice was less shocking than the first novel but no less entertaining.

I just flew through this spicy read! While I found some of the interactions between characters and plot points to be a carbon copy of Neon Gods, I ended up liking Electric Idol even more! I just found there was more of an engaging story as we get further into the world of Olympus.

Okay, so Eros is a book boyfriend that would make any woman practically feral. He hits all the spots, murderous, but soft and tender for Psyche.  Psyche is pretty badass too. I wish we had gotten to see more of what their lives were like before they found each other, but really there would be no room for that among all the sex. The sex in here is top-notch and copious.

It has been a long time since I felt myself get so invested in the overarching plot of a romance series. Katee clearly has a plan for Olympus and love-matching up the Thirteen. This book did a lot to both move that overarching plot along and make the reader deeply invested in the plot.
