{I received this book free as an Advanced reader copy}
I have read several other Helen Scott books and though this was still steeped in Greek Mythology it was refreshing and different.
Poppy is just a regular 20-someth in ng finding her way. While shopping a a Thrift Store she buys a necklace and All Hell breaks loose ... quite literally!
It is a wild ride with plenty of sizzle ... reverse harem fans will live it! Give it a try!

This book was super interesting! I loved how Cerebus was three hot guys instead of a three headed dog and the craziness of the book really makes you invested. I cant wait for the next book.

*Spicy era read continued…*
Pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this. Creatures from Greek mythology meet hot spice = plot.
It is what it is.
🎙️ The audiobook is included in the Audible Plus catalog. I thoroughly enjoyed Troy Duran’s performance, I just wish he had more air time.
🎧 Recommended Listening Speed: 1.7+

An okay read.
The idea of this book is a solid 5 stars but, to me, it just didn't reach it's full potential.
Poppy was too accepting, too naive, too wishy-washy. I couldn't stand behind her, and half the time I wasn't sure I even liked her.
"Why'd you keep reading then?"
I wanted to love this story! It has everything I love in a good paranormal romance it just did not deliver. There's not enough showing, I don't feel the connection between Poppy and her men, the steamy scenes were okay, I was told the "connection" was there but, I didn't experience it.
I will read the next book but, only because I hope the story will get better and I will love it and the characters.

I did not love this book. It didn't totally suck, though.
Good stuff:
- Interesting premise
- Hot sex
Bad stuff:
- Didn't really like Poppy. She was meh.
- Very weak plot.
- Not a ton of character development from the start to end of the book (it was, however, a first book, so this is sort of okay.)
As you can see, the negatives outweighed the positives. This book just didn't do it for me. It could have been really well executed, and I honestly would have liked this same thing minus the reverse harem, which might have allowed for more character development and plot besides them all getting together. Also, Poppy was weak.

What an amazing start! This was exhilarating first book. The introduction of the characters just so that you get to know and like them but leaves a mystery about them.
I'm very intrigued for the next book in the series.
