Oh my goodness! Dark Olympus series is getting so much hotter at each book! When I read the first book, I couldn’t put it down the stimulating, blasting, sexy, fiery story of Persephone and Hades! I thought the second book may not satisfy my expectations but now I’m taking my words back because Psych and Eros’ palpable chemistry ten times more explosive than dynamites! A killer, cruel, vicious hero who is fated to become his mother’s right hand that holds the dagger to finish the massacres and a ultra smart, curvy, cunning, strategist, influencer, practical heroine agree for fake marriage unless poor heroine want her heart ripped out by cold blooded hero who obeys his mother Aphrodite’s wishes! We return back to ultra modern version of Olympus to continue the story where it’s left, focusing on Psyche who is forced to marry with Zeus unwillingly for being next Hera! The last party she attends ends with being busted by paparazzis when she leaves the restrooms accompanied by notorious Eros. Actually she doesn’t have any bad intention to stuck in this place with her mother Demeter’s archenemy Aphrodite’s killer son! But when she sees him hurt, covered in blood, only thing she wants is patching him up. Of course being in the vicinity of his killer body makes her cough! This man is smoking hot! And she’s not immune to his seductive manners. But she’s caught by the press. Aphrodite’s solution to fix their tarnished reputation is killing Psyche. Correction: ordering Eros to kill her! But Eros cannot finish the job for the first time. He wants to possess this smart, tempting, cunning beauty! He’s gonna make her his by asking her to marry him. If they get marry sooner he can provide his full protection. Psyche has no other choice: she doesn’t only think her own life, she also thinks her sisters’ well beings because Aphrodite can strike against them to avenge their mother. But as you may imagine, the mutual attraction, flying sparks put their bed on fire! They’re created for each other! The steamy scenes between them are smoking hot! I loved their story more! Especially the final chapters about political maneuvers and balances, power games in Olympus are perfectly depicted. I enjoyed to read about a heroine who is not only pretty face but also carries an ultra big brain to survive at the political jungle by forming intelligent strategies. I think the third book will be about Callisto and Zeus! From the beginning of the series: Callisto picked my interest as fiery, bold, unique character reminded me of Katherina character from Shakespeare’s “ Taming of shrew” Those books are growing on me! I cannot wait to read the next one! I gave Persephone and Hades’ story five stars.If I had a chance, I would give Psyche and Eros’ story to five and half stars! It’s so hooking, engaging, tempting, hot, irresistible! I highly recommend it to the genre lovers! It’s freaking AMAZING!Special thanks to NetGalley and SOURCEBOOKS Casablanca for sharing this digital reviewer copy with me in exchange my honest opinions.
