This was my first fantasy book and I really enjoyed the theme of living in Olympus and having the characters be modern greek mythology but when I was actually reading the book I got a little bored in the middle because there were a lot of “spicy” scenes/chapters. I also feel like most of the book was just leading up to the ending that was only two pages long (if that makes any sense) Even though it was kind of slow in the middle it picked back up again in the end and the ending made me really happy :)

Honestly my fav Katee Robert book so far and I have read A LOT of her books. I am such a fan of the “irredeemable”, possessive, storm cloud male character matched with a sunshiny, trying not to have feels, smart female character. It is niche but totally my fav pairing and Katee writes it so well. Also her diversity with characters is effortless without being a big deal. Are there a lot of white characters? Yes. But the diversity of the rest of the cast is not like “oh look at me being diverse!” It is just normal which I appreciate. A great sequel to Neon Gods and I think I actually prefer this one. Much spicer and the “marriage of  convenience trope but they fall in love” gets me every time.

this book is perfect. i have nothing else to say. read it. then reread it. then schedule to reread it again once a season for the rest of you life. If you need a little more convincing (which you shouldn’t) see below:

✨enemies to lovers
✨forced proximity 
✨fake dating
✨marriage of convenience
✨morality chain
✨plus-sized FMC
✨he falls first and he falls harder
✨i was sent to kill you but you make me 😍 
✨touch her and die
✨that’s my wife
