I didn't know this existed, and I just feel like I've overlooked it whenever I was on the series page. It's a short novella after Neon Gods and follows Hades as he learns a new truth about his dad. It was insane, and I wish we had a whole book centered around Carson City. Or maybe a book about Hercules because he and Meg appeared in this one, and it was amazing! I loved it so much. But so far, the novellas that I've read for this series don't pop up in the main series at all, and this one was really hard to find. So far, I've read three novellas for the Dark Olympus series. One of them took place before the series and followed Medusa and Calypso; the second was the one in Nightingale that took place after Electric Idol, which was so good! Definitely my favorite novella! Then this short story. I would love to see all three of them expanded, but a follow-up book on the Dimitrou sisters would add to two of them. So I just want a follow-up book OR a Hercules book. I think Hercules would be really interesting because it sounds like he went down a very non-traditional route and the newest book in the series expands on his life even more. But it sounded completely different than how it was in this novella, so I need explanations, stat!
The cutest little spin off ?!?! Omfg please sign up for her newsletter and read this if you liked Neon Gods!!!! I wish there was more to this story honestly
My head has been spinning ever since I finished Neon Gods. Actually while I was reading Neon Gods my head was spinning trying to figure out how Hades (NG) was related to Hades (LML). Were they in the same world?
But thank you Katee for coming through! They are in the same world, and connected! I loved it, though I wish it was a tad bit longer.

3.5 little reunion stars.
I love these Katee Roberts little somethings. She knows she leaves us thirsty with her books. The stories always have more to give, and her answer is always with this extra chapters. And I wish I could complaint and do something about it, but the truth is I know I’m not going to stop reading these, or her books for that matter. I only complaint because I’m greedy and I want more of the characters she creates (which I think is a good thing???).
Anyway, this is the story of Past- (Wicked Villains) Hades learning that his son, Current- (Dark Olympus) Hades is alive and y’know… being Hades in the Undercity of Olympus.
It’s cute. It’s whatever. It still doesn’t feel like enough. I kind of wanted the whole family to meet – Meg, Hercules and Persephone included. I understand why the emphasis is put on them getting to know one another, and that all of them disappearing at the same time would raise alarms and be a bit dangerous within the context and lore of this universe… but still. I really wanted it to happen.
Anyway, 3.5 stars because even if it’s not enough, I really did like it.
