I love that the author gets right to the point. I definitely wasn't expecting the book to go where it did but I'm not complaining.

the number of threesomes was exquisite & the detail was delightful.

I enjoyed this book wayyy more than the first in the series but no where near as much as dark Olympus. The characters are likeable and there is way more kinky scenes than in DO but the story isn’t as interesting. Hoping if the next one is better, as the pattern seems to be going, that it might get to the same standard as DO.

Overall, I did enjoy it. I like the characters, the kinky scenes are well written, I like the theme of dark Disney characters. Story could be better but it’s getting better as I get through the books. Would have rated it a 3 and a half if I could. I recommend to anyone who already likes Katee Roberts books but not to someone who isn’t already involved in the universe of her books.

I honestly enjoyed this book more than the first in the series. I love how what Hercules brings to Meg and Hades relationship. Just be warned this book is very spicy and delves relatively deep into the BDSM world. Be sure to check the content warnings if you have any concerns.

The sexual harassment, sexual violence, and rape mentions all relate to things that Hercules mentions his father is guilty of. It's only briefly discussed. The death and death of a child are also mentioned but happened in a character's past. We don't discuss how it occurred, just what led to it and that it did. All the remaining content warnings aside from the sexual content relate to a car accident that happens as part of kidnapping late in the book as part of the final conflict. Like mentioned above, this book is probably over half sexual content and delves into the world of BDSM fairly deeply.

I really enjoy this series. The writing and the plot are a little cheesy but I can absolutely accept that since it is so much fun. 

Once again, this book contains more erotic scenes than I have ever found in another romance book (but maybe I am still too new to the genre). And once again I love the depiction of kink which gives me the impression that Roberts has a lot of knowledge in that territory. Except for minor details that seem to be more from the realms of fantasy than reality, these situations and the words with which they are described seem to be authentic kink scenes with consent, negotiation and aftercare being highly valued. And I appreciate that so much. 

Also I am overjoyed about the depiction of

polyamory. Even though the scene in which Hades, Meg and Hercules decide to date each other was incredibly short and skipped numerous steps of what the negotiations and agreements of beginning new relationship dynamics could and maybe should entail, it was all very sweet. It really warmed me to read the scenes of the three of them cuddling together or either of them experiencing compersion (a polyam term for witnessing your partner enjoy their time with someone else and feeling happy and fuzzy for them). This is a very positive depiction of a consensual polyamorous dynamic and I very much needed that in my life.

Lastly, I continue to be a huge fan of the Disney villain narrative frame. It's so much fun!
