I didn’t like this one as much as the other two. Achilles was pretty unbearable and I hated every scene with the ex. Atalanta was cool and I really liked Helen. I also liked how it ended and set something really cool up for the next book.

Amazing third book in the dark Olympus series. Helen is the sister of the new Zeus. She has been raised in this political world her whole life and moved around as a pawn. She is taking back power by competing to be the next Ares. She gets tangled up in the relationship that Achilles and Patroclus have. But they make a really good team.

Katee Roberts has done it again! Dark Olympus is easily my favourite of her works, but Wicked Beauty really takes the cake this time. As a pansexual person its awesome to see such well researched, and fully developed queer characters! The spice is incredible, my husband thought so too 😉

Overall really enjoyed this and the set up for future books at the end, loved the story and characters, but the series is starting to feel a bit formulaic to me. Anyways, still want to read the next one!

It took me a little longer to get into this book than the others in the series, but I still liked it a lot. I definitely learned that I love Arena style contests, and I enjoyed the tension and buildup of the relationship. I will say that Achilles got a bit annoying with how arrogant he is, but Helen and Patroclus balance him out a lot
