trigger warnings: injury, emotional abuse, murder, toxic relationship, sexual content

I loved this interpretation of the Helen of Troy mythology and it was cool to see the Minotaur and Atalanta's mythologies mixed in there too. The polyamorous relationship between Achilles, Helen, and Patroclus was suuuuuper fun to read and their triad dynamic was hilarious and cute. Achilles is the bane of my existence and I did not like him at ALL but the way the plot handles his nasty little ego issues is beyond perfect so. Vindication etc. Can't wait to see how the world expands with the rest of the books!

I really really loved this. Idk why I’m surprised cause I also loved pretty much all of the wicked villains series but I wasn’t positive how I’d feel cause I’d heard such mixed things about this series 
I haven’t read the first two yet (tho that’s next on my list) but I really really loved these 3 
Not quite a 5 star (not sure why exactly) but absolutely loved it and read it so fast lol

Undoing my formal education with smutty mythology retellings pt 3: Wicked Beauty.

I worried at one point that my kindle would melt - this book is BEYOND HOT. 🥵🥵🥵

It’s basically American Ninja Warrior + political maneuvering + the hottest, swooniest throuple EVER. 

Helen considered her choice between a stern brunch daddy or cinnamon roll and said: WHY NOT BOTH?!

Since it’s #PrideMonth, here’s a little run down of all of the LGBTQIA+ rep: bi/pan MCs, a full-on poly relationship, lots of LGBTQIA+ side characters.

As usual, Katee gave us scorching hot 🌶🌶🌶 scenes but also amazing consent conversations AND incredible communication between the characters. Beyond navigating their throuplehood, the three MCs in this novel wrestle with ambition, love, jealousy, angst, intense pining, complex family relationships and toxic exes. AND WE GET A TRIPLE POV. 🫠🫠🫠

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Three thumbs up, get it? Three thumbs up - GET IT! Highly recommended. This may be the hottest book you read this year. If you liked Neon Gods and Electric Idol, you will like this, but you could read it as a standalone if you wanted.
