A review by silvanamontanola
Electric Idol by Katee Robert
3.0
Meh.
This had the EXACT same plot as Neon Gods (also by Katee Robert). FMC forced to marry MMC. They fall in love. They do a lil friends (but married) with benefits until something happens and they are forced to battle the villain in the last 30 pages of the book. Oh and they fall in love within a week MAX.
Don't get me wrong, if I had never read Neon Gods, this would be an incredibly entertaining book. I particularly loveee the FMC's representation of plus sized bodies. She opens up to the MMC about it when he suggests they get her an entire new wardrobe. She comments that this is impossible, taxing, and nerve-wracking for a plus-sized woman who has a specific set of comfort clothes. I really connected with that. For that alone, I gave two of the three stars. The third star I gave out because the story is enjoyable and I did read it quite fast (10ish days). However, it is 100% a repurposing of Persephone and Hades' story, and for that I cannot give it any more than three stars. Robert, please write a different plot and different broody characters please.
(I will most certainly read #3 hoping to see the same entertaining writing style but with a ~hopefully~ different plot).
