Even though this was just a preview, I've since had the chance to read the entire book and I absolutely loved it! Katee Robert does a magnificent job writing both queer and poly romances and this was no exception. This series is a great example of both good plot and great romance. I loved the way the characters came together and the spice was exceptional as always.

A good taster for the whole book, that kicks the story off quickly. Even if some of the established mythology isn't always on point (to be fair, who's to say after so many retellings?), the choices made look like they're working for the story to fizz.

Thanks to the publisher for this advance teaser copy..

I haven't read anything by Katee Roberts before but I was happily surprised with how quickly she developed relationships. Sometimes a story can drag before you get some action. And the sex plot wasn't the only interesting part of this book. I feel like it could stand alone without if needed. (but of course we don't want that)

This preview had me needing to read more!

This was just fanfiction where the author wrote in the names of Greek myths and called it a day.

I get it. It's just a porno. But even a fraction of effort put into the research for the mythology behind these names would have improved this book- if only a little. Why not have a threesome with Helen, Paris, and Menelaus? Or Briseis, Achilles, and Patroclus? Unfortunately, the writing is poor too. Her attempts at inclusivity are blatantly shoved in and painfully obvious.

I should have quit and run after Neon Gods. Her writing is predictable and unchanging- I hoped for some improvement since Neon Gods but have not found any.

This scorchin preview teases us as to what we can expect in this exciting story about a woman not willing to be used as a pawn in a game of control. Who will win the trial and be part of the thirteen?

A dark, vivid, gripping story in a world that only Katee can deliver!

Great preview! I was already hooked on this series but I loved having a little glimpse into the next tale. Love Katee Robert and their characters!

If the book says Katee Robert, sign me up! This was an unfair treat because I just wanted to keep reading.

Thank you NetGalley for the preview ARC. I am my own person so the above opinions are my own.

This is retelling of the Helen of Troy Greek myth. As this was a preview, it was only the first five chapters, but the writing was good, the characters were engaging, and the story was intriguing. These first chapters were a great taste test and I can't wait to read the rest of the story. I may have to read all of the Dark Olympus series by Katee Robert.

Wow! Katee Robert did it again. Wicked Beauty is the third book in the Dark Olympus series and each book in the series is better than the last! This was a great book and I couldn't put it down. I can't wait to read the next one in the series!

These intial chapters make me hungry for more, and I can't wait to dig my claws into the rest of the book. Typical for Katee Robert, you can expect sass, grit and the right amount of fan-yourself-hot.

I cannot wait to read the full book! The whole dynamic seems very interesting especially with the backdrop the characters are in.

I realize that Katee Roberts is just not for me. The writing is great, but I just am not able to get into the characters. After many tries, I'm giving up.

4.5 ★
Katee Robert has done it again! I enjoy all her books that she has written but this one has to be my all-time favourite, the story was easy to follow and the spice was there.
I do want to say this book isn't for everyone so be careful, other than that I will be recommending this book to my friends that enjoy this genre.

Loved the preview! Has the potential to be my favorite in the series. I love Helen’s character and I’m excited to see more of the Kasios family behind closed doors.

Katee Robert never lets me down. This teaser was the perfect thing to reel you in and get you ready for Wicked Beauty. And of course it left me wanting more. Dark Olympus is the perfect combination of passion, suspense, intrigue. I cannot wait to read the rest of Helen, Patroclus, and Achilles’ story!

I did not enjoy this book as much as other books by Roberts. This one was a slow start and I did not finish it. I think there was too much sub-plot and too much focus on side characters.

NOT BAD!!!! the smut hit (as usual) and I actually liked the plot in this one wow this is growth. i lved the dynamic of the throuple and the development of patroclus compared to a lot of other iterations of this classic myth
