This was a nice little preview for this book. I did not enjoy Neon Gods but heard the rest of the series was good so when I saw the opportunity to read the first 5 chapters of Radiant Sun, I had to take it.

This book seems like it will be more entertaining than the other I read from this series. I like that the characters from the previous books are brought into this one as well. I also appreciate the chart of who is who within the universe so I can reference it while reading.

What an awesome couple of chapters. The characters are so real and interesting. So excited to read the rest of the book when it comes out in February. I love this series!

I love Katee Robert and this preview has me SO HYPED for Radiant Sin! I loved diving back into the Dark Olympia world and seeing some of the characters from the previous books.

Cassandra reads like a boss and I can't wait to read even more about her. And I just know there will be all the steamy scenes to come.

This story looks so good...I want to read Radian Sin as soon as possible. It's addictive. I believed that Hades would be the best in these books but Apollo looks interesting and I would like to read more about him and Cassandra.

Preview review: 5 chapters!!! I’m so excited to see where the rest of Apollo and Cassandra’s story goes! I loveeeee seeing characters from the past dark Olympus books come into play. Hopefully the rest of the book brings some more spice because we neeeed that! A situation has come… what will come of the issue at hand? We shall see when this book comes out.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me to read this preview. If only Katee was still going on tour for this book… high hopes to your better health for the future to come. Thank you for all the work you put into your books.

Recently I joined a bookclub that practically worships Katee Robert and her books. After binge reading all her works I knew why and now I can't wait for her next book to come out.
I practically screeched in joy to have the oppurtunity to read a preview of what Cassandra and Apollo's story will bring when Radiant sin releases. To say I love Cassandra would be an understatement, to say I'm ready to thirst over Apollo is an even bigger one.
Cassandra is a whole mood all on her own, and seeing so much of myself in just a short few chapters, I can't wait to discover more about her character. As to Apollo, all I can say is that I can't wait to see him pin over Cassandra until the tension bursts the both of them into flames of passion.
The fake dating trope that's the driving force of this pair's story, is one of my favorites and has yet to fail me, in regards to choosing a book. If you love this trope as much as I do, I just know you will enjoy this book like I did.

I don't know what Katee is putting in these Dark Olympus books, but I. Am. Obsessed.

This is the 4th installment in the Dark Olympus series following Apollo and Cassandra. Cassandra's family is frowned upon in the city because her parents staged a coup years ago and died in the process. She now works as an executive assistant to Apollo, who knew she was struggling to find a position because all of Olympus frowns upon her family name.

Apollo is investigating why Minos, who showed up in Wicked Beauty, is in town. He is invited to a party being thrown by Minos and asks Cassandra if she will accompany him to help him find out more information. I cannot wait for their story as these are two characters that haven't exactly been teased in the last few books, so I'm excited to meet brand new characters.

So excited for the rest of this book! Can’t wait to read more about Cassandra and Apollo! Katee Robert does it again with the Dark Olympus series. Easily my favorite Greek retelling series I can’t wait for all of them to come out!

I think reading the preview was a mistake because now I’m sad I can’t finish the whole book! Fake dating is a trope I love that rarely disappoints. Before reading this preview I had only read the first book in the series and was shocked by some character developments. Though I can see why these books can be read as standalones, I’m going back to read the others. I just finished book 2 and already these preview chapters make more sense. I cannot wait to see what drama unfolds with these two!

This is the 4th book of the Dark Olympus series. Now, not having read the previous 3, I was slightly lost as to the details of Olympus and how people can take over the big 13 from other people.

But this book focuses on Cassandra and Apollo. Cassandra works for Apollo purely out of necessity. Her parents were killed because they tried to take more power and so now Cassandra hates the gods and is trying to get herself and her sister out of Olympus. Well, the opportunity to do that has landed in her lap! Zeus has tasked her to be Apollo’s date at a week long party in order to get information out of someone. Big problem: Cassandra has the hots for Apollo! If she gets the information that Zeus requires, he’ll pay her tons of money that will enable her and her sister to get out of Olympus! Will she be able to keep her wits about her? Or will she fall hard for apollo?

This was an intriguing start to the book. Since this was just setting the plot up there wasn’t any spice but I’m sure as the book goes on, there will be plenty of it!! I look forward to this being published so that I can finish reading it!

Thank you to Netgalley for this chapter sample in exchange for an honest review.

This will be book 4 in the Dark Olympus series and I have to say, the first 5 chapters pulled in me quickly.

I was immediately intrigued by Cassandra and wanted to know why she was acting the way she was. What makes her tick? What’s her full story? You learn very quickly what she cares about most and the things she willing to do to meet her goals. I’m already rooting for her, and I’d be lying if I said I didn’t see a bit of myself in her 🙈

Apollo sounds like the kind of guy that just wants to do the right thing and make people happy. This is just my first impression, but I have a feeling he has many many layers under all of that.

THIS is why I love the Fake Dating/Dating Your Boss/Dating the Millionaire tropes. There’s so many things these characters don’t know about each other but they already have this base attraction that gets harder and harder to ignore.

I’ll be honest, I read Neon Gods, I did enjoy it a lot, but not enough to pick up books 2 & 3. Sometimes I struggle with the world building of fantasy (even Greek Mythology…. I know 💀) BUT that being said, after just 5 chapters of Radiant Sin, I find myself adding the expected release date into my calendar so I can finish this story asap!!😍

Katee Robert is known for writing phenomenal spice, and while I didn’t get that in the first 5 chapters (thankfully so 😂) I am SO freaking excited to see what these two s*xually frustrated characters get up to 🥵🔥🌶️


🦋Sample ARC graciously provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review🦋

I have only read the preview thanks to NetGalley, however will offer the full review when the book comes out. I love the first three Dark Olympus books, just reading the first few chapters, I’m already hooked and cannot wait for the book to come out. I am already loving the dynamic between Cassandra and Apollo!

Overall Impression: I love it! Anything with romance and a snarky plus sized character has my heart. I'm only bummed that I have to wait for the rest of the book now...

What I liked: I love that the main female character is strong and speaks her mind. She's giving no Fs about what people think, even the powerful people, especially the powerful people

What I would change: Nothing so far...

Would I buy it? Hell to the yes

Would I tell a friend to buy it? 100%

1-5 Spice Scale: For the first 5 chapters, nothing really, but I'm sure there will be lots of spice later on.

Favorite quote: "I have to fight not to stare at Cassandra's big, perfect ass as she stalks down the hall away from me."

I have read the rest of the Dark Olympus series so I was excited for this preview. Reading has made me more excited for the release. Even in a few chapters Katee Robert can capture your attention and have you hooked on new characters. I am excited to see how these two play out and I am already intrigued on the air of mystery surrounding Apollo.

*Thank you NetGalley and publishers for allowing to read and leave an honest review of this ARC.*

I had no idea this was a series that existed until 1 random day in B&N when I saw a display shelf that was too inviting to ignore. I am a sucker for a spicy book with a good story, especially one themed around the gods of Olympus!
I devoured the story of Persephone and Hades in 1 afternoon and naturally needed more. I just had to request this preview and it DID NOT disappoint.
This was only the first 5 chapters and I can't wait to see what happens between Apollo and Cassandra.
Quick overview: He's one of the 13 and she is from a 1x great family that is now looked down upon. Cassandra works as Apollo's Executive Assistant and gets put in a situation that will make her hopes for the future totally obtainable but she has to pretend she is in love with Apollo while secretly fighting her very real desires. What could possibly go wrong?
Do yourself a favor and grab each book in The Gods of Olympus series. You won't regret it!

Having read the first three in this series, I was excited to see a preview for the fourth! While this is just a preview, it is already tantalizing enough to where I know I need more. It feels just like the others in the series; sexual tension between two characters, and of course, Olympus politics are involved. Will we find out why the barrier is breaking this time? Or will Katee use her excellent teasing powers and have us coming back for more? Either way, this is going to be another spicy book that I can't wait to get my hands on.

HOOOOO boy counting down the days until Radiant Sin is released, I’m dying for more Olympus 🔥🔥🔥 Apollo is already so intriguing and I get the sense his story is not at all what I expected.

OMG this preview was FanFREAKINGtastic! I want the entire book more than ever now. I absolutely adore this series.

after reading the preview of radiant sin, i’m really happy i procrastinated so hard and it’s coming out in 2 weeks because i don’t think i could wait much longer!

something i love about katee robert’s books is the diversity of characters that is not danced around. if a character is queer or disabled or a person of color, we know it. same goes for cassandra, another plus sized female lead in the dark olympus series. one qualm i DO have about katee’s plus leads is that cassandra seems to fall into the body insecurity trap just like every other i’ve read from her (tink from wicked villains is coming to mind!) and it’s a little tired. is it realistic? yes. but i would love to see a fat woman who doesn’t compare her body to thin ones. however, the personalities of her fat characters aren’t constantly the same and i’m excited to read more of cassandra.

i think it was interesting we didn’t read much about apollo yet— i’m nosy to learn more about what he’s like.

overall katee is an autobuy author for me so i’m really looking forward to picking this up when it comes out on feb. 7. we love to seee ittttt.

I am in love with this series. I foam at the mouth whenever Katee posts a new one. As someone who is absolutely obsessed with greek mythology, this is some of the best retellings by far.
