Eurydice Dimitriou. IS little sister we all want to protect from earlier novels. Well, the innocent sister has stepped into the limelight, ready to shed her past and embrace a future on her terms. It's about time, And who better to help her forget that heartbreak than Charon Ariti, He is Hades's right-hand man and The chemistry between Eurydice and Charon is off the charts.

Are you a little disappointed that Eurydice and Orpheus aren't married in this story?

But wait, there's more! Enter Orpheus Makos, the once golden boy of the upper city, now a shadow of his former self. He'll do what he needs to do to win Eurydice back, even if it means a trio of tangled hearts and a whole lot of mess. 

Katee Robert creates a story that's as unpredictable as it is satisfying giving us a polyamorous triad and adding the surprise of puppy play into the mix. It's a testament to Katee Robert's ability to keep readers on their toes and offer something fresh and unexpected in each installment of the series.

The dynamic trio of Eurydice, Charon, and Orpheus brings a perfect blend of tension, passion, and emotional depth. The characters, flawed and complex, add layers to the story, and the messy politics of Olympus create a backdrop that adds an extra layer of intrigue.

I am also excited to see some progression of the overarching Dark Olympus narrative. We have had hints that suggest the looming battle for Olympus is just around the corner and we finally see a bit of action on that front. The intricate politics, the complexities of the relationships, and the impending crisis create an atmosphere of anticipation that keeps me returning to Olympus.  Katee Robert truly shines as she continues to deliver an engaging and multifaceted story that keeps us all eagerly awaiting the next installment. Luckily she doesn't make us wait too long.
