I did like this book and I liked that it was a FF romance as well. We have one character that is for sure bisexual or multi-sexual of some kind with the other character it is a little unclear if she is just lesbian or bi as well. The story is also very serious and is one of the darker-toned stories in the Dark Olympus series for sure.  The romance does move fast but as in Mrs. Roberts's way the characters knowledge that fact themselves and it make the story so much more reasonable. I think if you miss out on this you don't really miss anything but if you do get to read it. It definitely enhances the series as a whole especially with Poseidon's story coming out soon.

This short story focuses on Medusa. Not the classical Medusa with snakes on her head that kill you with one look but a killer none the less. 

As with all the Dark Olympus books, some of the Thirteen are involved. This time, Athena in her capacity as War Strategist or the woman you come to in order to take out a hit.  This one on a lover who is inconvenient to the man and, instead of just breaking it off, Medusa is sent in.  

But, in all her years of killing for Athena, this is one time she finds her assignment distasteful. And how distasteful leaves her quaking in her boss and shuddering at the temptation Calypso is. 

Can Medusa carry out her assignment or will she fall for the charms of Calypso? And will Calypso fall for Medusa? 

This charming short story was worth the time it took to read it. Swoon worthy indeed!

This short little romp in Olympus follows Calypso and Medusa and the way their paths cross. There is a fair amount of groundwork laid for character and world building considering the length of the novella. There is a sexy sapphic love scene that’s open door and spice level 3, very fun to read. 

Some spelling and sentence structure error throughout was easy enough to get over. It might annoy some people that Medusa’s character is a little “simple” and awkward, so her dialogue leaves much to be desired- including inner dialogue.
