If you like Katee's work for the fast action plots and mystery twists then you'll love this book. It had Agatha Christie "And Then There Were None" vibes and I thought the mystery of what was happening and why was super fun to read.
However, if you like exploring the relationships and personalities of Katee's work then this book will disappoint. I felt like Apollo and Cassandra were bland and their voices were really similar too. I just wanted a bit more from each of them.
As for spicy stuff, this was some of the tamest I've read by Katee. Not that that's bad, but bland relationship development with bland characters and bland spice left only the plot to carry this book. Which it does, but it leaves me giving it a 3 star rating instead of anything higher.

Everything about this series is so fucking good. I didn't like this one as much as #3, but still devoured it. I'm obsessed with the plus-size representation in this series because it seems like in these types of books it's like authors have a competition who can make their heroine as close to the size of a Polly Pocket as possible.
I'm so ready for Book 5.

This was not great. There wasn’t enough chemistry between Apollo and Cassandra and the set up of them going to Minos house for 7 days to basically play a real life version of Clue made the spice minimal.

Plot wise, this was probably the book i enjoyed most in the series so far. Diving more into the lore and the history of this version on olympus, with the type of things that go on behind the scenes and are kept tightly under wraps, it was a very interesting read. A little messy, sure, and Cassandra and Apollo might not be my top favorites (hard to beat Helen, but I definitely foresee Aphrodite and Hera giving her a run for her spot) but it was an enjoyable read. Definitely has me looking forward to reading more of the katee Robert collective universe that just keeps growing.
