More like a Court of Orgies. This is a reverse harem with 7 dudes and 1 FMC. The spice was off the charts; even though I cringed a lot when Lycus turns into a spider. I wish there was a balance of smut and plot in this story. 85% is smut and 15% plot. It was still a fun read.

I felt like Chase and Cammie’s chemistry was rushed in the beginning. I kept cringing every time her vagina was called my precious. To make it worse, I kept hearing Gollum’s voice every time my precious was mentioned. I do love how supportive Chase was when it came to Cammie writing LOTR fan fiction.

Some parts of the story was predictable, but it was still a fun read.

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
DNFed on page 78. My first DNF of the year.
Unfortunately I found this story slow and boring. The characters didn't keep me interested enough to slog through. I'm glad other readers enjoyed this, but it wasn't for me.

This is definitely darker than I expected for a Greek Mythology retelling. There are trigger warnings in the beginning, but I didn't think there would be suicide ideation throughout the whole book. I understand why Alexis kept having those thoughts. She had a rough childhood and it gets worse for her. I found all the characters interesting. I am really intrigued by Achilles, Patro, Kharon, Augustus and Nyx. Nyx was so unhinged and delusional in the best way. I know a lot of shit is going to go down in the next book. I can't wait to see what happens even though the ending was abrupt.
