This one started pretty strong but the characters were just super annoying, namely Eros and his whole “I’m a monster” spiel. Smut was okay. I’ve read better from Katee. Then again, I listened to the audiobook and god is it cringy 😂 no shade to the narrators but I think smutty audiobooks aren’t for me.

Tldr; I enjoyed this one more than Neon Gods, but I’m really liking this series so far.

Loved this, ate it up, so good. We have now heard about 2 of the 4 sisters this series revolves around and I’m guessing I know who comes next. Katee is such a brilliant writer and storyteller. I’m so impressed

Wholly different from Neon Gods with some linguistic similarities but no less enjoyable. I have a strong pull toward Hades and Persephone for some unknown reason but I really liked this Psyche and Eros retelling. Psyche is stunning in this novel and made me want to be her. The spice was less shocking than the first novel but no less entertaining.

Definitely liked it better than the first. Oddly enough I found Persephone a bit of a b**** in this one. But Eros and Psyche, love them! While this book has its flaws, repetitive phrases, similar plot points to the first, overall the characters where more dimensional to me that made it a better read. I would love more of these two! Like by the end I had wished the book was longer, or that there was a sequel with more. The epilogue, gave me such fuzzies!
