Having read the first five chapters in this preview, all I can say is I cannot wait to read more when Wicked Beauty comes out. Katee Robert has never disappointed so far, and from what I can tell, she's not about to break that streak with this book. I am excited to see how she juggles the dyanmic between Helen's, Achilles' and Patroclus' given their competing goals and differing personalities. I also loved the glimpse of where Zeus & Hera stand at the moment; can't wait for their story to be told.

Oh my goodness, what an absolutely wonderful taste of Wicked Beauty! I can't wait for its release so I can have more Achilles/Patroclus.

I’m so excited to read the rest of this book! This five chapter preview was just enough to get me hooked. I can’t wait to learn more about the characters and how this story will unfold.

I jumped when I saw this on NetGalley!

I am intrigued by the love triangle potential that could come in this book. Patroclus and Achilles bring some serious spice to the story. 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶 This might be a love triangle like no love triangle before.

This story also hooked me in right from the get go and I don't imagine my rating to change come the full release. Right now chapters 1-5 are getting ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ from me!

Just from reading the first 5 chapters this dark Olympus is going to be hot. I am so ready for all the Achilles and Patroclus. I first read them with another author and that was sweet and poetic now I’m ready to the version of them that is dark and smutty. I already know Helen is going to be a force to be reckoned with and I can’t wait to see her character development.

I can't wait for this novel to be released! I was already excited for it but now moreso with the preview. I definitely recommend reading other titles in the Dark Gods series.

This sounds like it's going to be my favorite book from the series and I can't wait to read more of it.
In the first 5 chapters we had:
Mystery.
Steamy scenes.
Mischief.
Amazing chemistry.
Again... can't wait for this book!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publishers for the chance to read the first 5 chapters of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This sneak peak was so good! I cant wait for the full book to come out. In these few chapters, I loved seeing the dynamics begin to build, and I’m hooked.

I literally cannot wait for the full book. These first few chapters were such a tease in the absolute best way!

Wow, loved these first few chapters, things are going to be intense, I can already tell! Just from the synopsis, I knew there was going to be drama over Helen competing for the Are's title, like the fact that her brother put her up as prize for said title. And I really enjoyed Achilles and Patroclus's dynamics, and Helen and Patroclus's in their interaction in this teaser, and I can't wait to see all 3 of them together! So excited for the full length book!

I know this was only the first 5 chapters but I’m already obsessed! I haven’t read anything by Katee Robert that I didn’t like and this is no different! I cannot wait for this book to be released so I can finish it!

*Thank you to NetGalley and the author for an ARC PREVIEW of this book; I received the first 5 chapters to review*

I have read Neon Gods, but not Electric Idol.

Alright, so first and foremost, let's get the *bad* out of the way... The spoilers were real lol. It's my own fault - I am not used to such dirty books having an actual plot line - great job here, Katee! Can't wait to go back and read Electric Idol. The worst of it was that I felt like there were a lot of "white man", "white dude", and "white woman" descriptions in the book - I mean literally... those words were literally used. Same with "black woman". I feel like this is just lazy writing, to be honest. I really hope this changes - but if it doesn't, I won't be too upset, because when I buy the book, I can skip the first five chapters... okay, well... the first four... I will read the fifth again ;)

So the good.... chapter five is HOT HOT HOT, just saying ;) smutty and spicy! Obviously we all know where this story is going, and I can't frigging WAIT!

Overall this is a 3.5/5 right now - I rounded up to 4/5. Can't wait to see the finished product! (Or maybe the full ARC - hint hint!)

This was only a sample, I knew it would be amazing... and I was right. I also knew I would want more right away... And I was right about that, too. It was a super quick read, and now I am champing at the bit for June 7th even more than I was. Ms. Robert's writing is fantastic, as usual, and I can't help but get dragged into her books before the end of the first page.

Leave it to Katee Robert to get me excited for a book that doesn't come out until forever!! I've really been loving the Dark Olympus series, and it seems from this preview that that will not change any time soon. Thrilled to learn more about these characters and more about the world!

The Dark Olympus series is just so fun I can’t wait for the full book to come out! These 5 chapters were certainly enough to leave me wanting more content.

I am feral for Katee Robert's books!!! This preview is no difference. I cannot wait for the entire book to be published so that I can devour it. She's done it again with "Wicked Beauty".

I NEED THIS PUBLISHED IMMEDIATELY! Ugh, it's only the first 5 chapters of Helen's story w/ Patroclus and Achilles, but I can tell it's going to be amazingly juicy. And I LOVE Greek myth revisions. I devoured these first 5 chapters and I'm sure the rest of the world will too. Cannot WAIT for publication of this novel.

*Special thanks to NetGalley & the publisher for the preview. Hope to read the rest SOON!!*

While this is only a preview, I instantly fell in love. Katee Robert has once again proven why she's my favourite author. Neon Gods was great, Electric Idol was even better, and this is just perfect. I can't wait to read the whole story!

Okay, I absolutely need more asap as possible. I feel a love triangle coming on and I cannot wait to devour the rest of this when it comes out!!

Thank you to the author and Netgalley for providing a preview of chapters 1-5!

Although I've seen her books talked about all over the internet, this was my first taste of Katee Robert's writing - and I'm HOOKED.

The world building and her take on Greek lore and mythology is really interesting, and the political system isn't like anything I've read before. Add to that the immediate heat and spark between the romantic leads, and it's safe to say I'll be picking this up come June - after I've caught up on Neon Gods and Electric Idol!
