This was a really interesting read. I thought the story was well-paced and kept me on my toes. I thought the dynamic between Psyche and Eros.

Electric Idol is the second book in the Dark Olympus series which is a modern retelling of Greek mythology. This book follows Psyche who is targeted by Aphrodite after a perceived slight at a ball. When Aphrodite's killer and son Eros propose they get married to keep her safe, truths start to unravel.
I really loved this book so much. Katee Robert has such an addicting writing style that makes her books so quick and easy to read through. I love that she includes so much diversity in her works and it's clear that she loves and cares about her characters and story.
I thought that Psyche was so interesting to read from. She is a plus size social media influencer and her thought process and how sweet she was is so relatable and a breath of fresh air. I really liked how her and Eros balanced each other out in this book as they come from not only two different walks of life but also difference perspectives on people nad their motivations.
I really love how slow biurn the plot is in these books and how it works to set up the other books going forward as well.
I would say if you are interested in reading this book series, definitely give it a try. I really love it and am excited to continue on with the next ones.

A fun second book in an interesting series! I’m a big fan of Greek mythology and Katee Robert has an intriguing twist bringing the classic stories into the current world. Very enjoyable and lots of dark secrets sitting just beneath the surface. And, as always, very well written smut.
I enjoyed the plus-sized FMC representation “(fat) isn’t an insult. It’s just a word” and the fake-marriage trope. The toxic parent/child relationship felt well written.
Downside: I understand why, but it did feel a bit rushed in terms of the whole book happening within a few days.
The epilogue was so cute though! Especially if you read the series in order.

I love katee Robert’s writing and absolutely loved this book. I think Eros and psyche were sexier that Persephone and hades imo.
