As always, Katee Robert makes me want to dive into this world and live there forever. The characters were lovable even as they were so greatly flawed. I enjoyed going back to Olympus and seeing sneak peaks of previous characters. The spice was phenomenal and the dynamics between each lover, well thought out

Katee Robert hits it out of the park AGAIN. This book is hot and steamy. As the threat to Olympus grows, Eurydice has a new paramour, but her pining ex is trying to reach back out. How will she choose? Or will she?

The Dark Olympus series is unravels the relationships of those in power as their world appears to unravel around them - and this installment is no different. Watching Eurydice manage herself and her men was delightful - I can't wait for the next in the series.

I'm having such a love/hate with this book.

One one hand I like the author and the way she can retell some of my favorite myths, stories and topics.

Now, maybe it's because I've read a few Eurydice retellings lately. But while I loved the idea of the story there was many parts where I was left wanting to put the book down and come back to it later.

Overall it wasn't a bad retelling or a bad read at all. There was just something about this book that I just couldn't really get into like I would have wanted. Still an amazing read for anyone interested in this style. Just fell a little short for me.

While I do like this series, this book hits somewhere in the middle. It's not bad, but there are some bad things in it. The dialog was the worst part for me. I really liked the characters and I love a good throuple but some of the dialog in this was so cringy. The rest of the book was pretty on par with the rest of the series. Honestly, without the cringe dialog I think this could have easily been a four star read, but that dialog really pulled it down for me.

I'd really like the overarching plot to advance now. It would be great if it we could see some movement on that because I'm getting real bored with all these couples/polycules.

Katee is always a win for me! This series has been nothing but wonderful! The characters and their stories are amazing! I love watching the dynamics of them falling in love no matter the costs! Highly recommend and can’t wait for more!

It was a good book, with a polyamorous relationship. We see Charon at other points in the series. Eurydice is a character who came into her own in this book. I liked the reveal with the conflict at the end.

Although I hadn't read any of the Dark Olympus series I thought that Midnight Ruin sounded intriguing. I enjoyed the novel ev8en though I hadn't read any of the series beforehand.

Thank you to Netgalley and the Publisher for a copy of the novel in exchange for an honest review.

This is the book that ended the series for me. The novelty has worn off and now I can't forgive the basic writing. Plus the humiliation of Orpheus was too much and gave me the icks.

Midnight Ruin is the Sixth book in the Dark Olympus series. I've read all the books up to this point and they have been really hit or miss for me. I've come to the conclusion that I think I'm done with the series. The amount of characters and the political backstories are just too much for me to keep up with at this point.

It was fine, but ultimately only 3 stars.

I was able to read an ebook arc of this thanks to NetGalley. A fun romance. Great read. Would read more by this author.

Not only did I read this on net galley. But I bought the physical copy when I came out.
I will ALWAYS read and buy all of this authors books.

I will forever and always love this series. I have nothing bad to say about it and I will never say anything bad about it either.

I will cry and be mad when this series is over. I would rather this series to never end.

In this next installment of the Dark Olympus series we get the story of Eurydice, Orpheus and Charon. Eurydice is still healing from Orpheus’ betrayal, but can Charon be a big enough distraction to help her? Meanwhile, Olympus is basically on fire from outside forces and all of our favorite Olympians are trying to prevent the city from falling!

So admittedly this was tied with Cruel Seduction for lowest ranked in the series. That doesn’t mean I didn’t like either of them because they were enjoyable and helped move the underlying series plot along but I was not much interested in the MCs and their relationships. One trope used to create this particular relationship is one of my least liked tropes so that didn’t help. I was actually hoping for a different pairing.

If you’re reading the series you obviously have to read these to get the next part of the underlying plot. If you haven’t started or are just starting the series go into these last two knowing that I didn’t love them, but plenty of other people do

Another solid entry from Katee Robert. This one is much less politics-heavy, to my disappointment. Charon and Eurydice are a great couple, but Orpheus is too whiney for me to care about.

Orpheus, Eurydice, and Charon are our trio in this instalment and to be honest I’d have been happier without Orpheus. The was no come back or consequence for him and I’m not sure that was a good idea, I would’ve liked to have seen more payback.

I did however love Eurydice getting her own story and the chemistry between her and Charon. He is definitely one of my favourites, after hades of course. Look forward to seeing what Katee Robert has for us next.

Im obsessed with this series and there is nothing else to say about it. lol jk! I couldn't get enough of the characters and story line. it had me on the edge of my seat. I will forever be waiting for the next book in this series.

*deep breath* I have lowered my expectations further for every book and somehow they still get worse. It was a mistake to put these on the schedule they are on because the author can barely get together a believable romance with two povs, and now with three it's pretty much laughable.

Everything is so surface level with nothing to dig into and make any of the characters distinguishable not only from each other in the book, but from the others in previous books. And the poly romance stories? They make it even flatter. I may change my rating later because I'm feeling petty after finally finishing this, but honestly, this was the worst of the books because it was the most unbelievable. You cannot tell me that Eurydice would go through what she did, Charon watch her heal, and they would both be like, Orpheus get in bed with us, first chance they got. I genuinely hated how cheap and gimmicky it all felt, on top of this happening across literally 3 days. In what world?

I have been reading this series solely for Hera and Zeus's book but I don't think I can justify the struggle anymore.

This one was fun because it really geared up to the entire series' overall climax, so I'm excited to see how that will turn out in the next books.

I enjoyed seeing Eurydice come into her own and speak up for herself in some tense situations. She has grown a lot since we first saw her in Neon Gods and I'm hoping to see her in some of the action that's to come in the series. I felt that Orpheus truly changed and totally redeemed himself. And I just wish we had more Charon because he was probably my favorite from this story. Loved this cute little trio and their love for each other felt genuine.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this eARC in exchange for my honest opinion and review.

3.75⭐️
"Midnight Ruin" by Katee Robert was my first foray into Greek mythology retellings, and wow, what an introduction! The author masterfully holds true to the spirit, personality, family dynamics, and character traits of well-known Greek figures and gods, while seamlessly placing them in a modern context. The scenes are incredibly spicy, causing me to blush constantly—a hallmark of Robert's evocative writing style.

This why-choose novel follows Eurydice on her journey to become a powerful woman who calls her own shots and readily expresses herself with confidence. She is recovering from an awful betrayal by her long-time lover, Orpheus, a wealthy and self-serving painter. Charon, Eurydice’s best friend and her brother-in-law's right-hand man, is determined to help heal her heart. Orpheus seeks penance from Eurydice, but the trio unexpectedly falls madly in love and lust with one another.

While exploring the fluidity that love can provide, they also face a brewing war in Olympus, which threatens to divide the upper and lower parts of the city. The character development is outstanding, with each figure evolving beautifully throughout the novel. However, the plotline of the war takes a backseat until the last 15% of the book. This pacing issue stands out, as I would have loved for the war's plot to be more seamlessly woven through the entire story.

Overall, "Midnight Ruin" is a captivating and sensual read that expertly combines mythology with modern elements, offering a fresh and engaging take on these timeless tales. If you're a fan of spicy romance and strong character arcs, this novel is definitely worth picking up.
