As this series continues, Katee Robert keeps the macro-plot moving all while providing hot and tender relationships between the central couple, or in this case, throuple! As always Katee's books have characters who are diverse and casually queer. We love to see it!
I loved getting to see Eurydice come into her own as a mover and a shaker in the Lower City as well as her development as a switch in this relationship with Charon and Orpheus. After being a man in the shadows, Charon is fleshed out and quickly becomes one of my favorites. Orpheus earned his redemption in my opinion, but your mileage may vary.
I loved getting that reveal in the mystery of the macro-plot and am really excited to see how everything will continue to go in the next books!
Thank you to the publishers (Sourcebooks Casablanca) and NetGalley for letting me read an ARC! I just about squealed with delight when I got approved!!
This series just gets better and better! Katee Robert never fails to disappoint but this series really has been one that I keep coming back to..
Eurydice, Charon, and Orpheus were such individual characters with their own personalities and reasons to be invested in them and yet they meshed together so well and the romance and spice between them was perfection.
On top of this there was a gripping plot that kept me flipping through the pages and has me wanting to reread this series once more.
You did it again Katee! And we love you for it.
I really like all that Katee Robert writes. I know things will end up well, even if I don't know how they're going to get there. I also like that there seems to be more of a plot happening now.
Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca and Katee Robert for this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
This book was such a surprise after not enjoying the last book much. The plot actually picked up fairly quickly in this one and kept me engaged the entire time. I predicted the big bad early on and I was so excited when I was right. This book definitely built up all the little plots and delivered on the action. I’m so excited to see what happens next!
Midnight Ruin is the BEST book in the series yet! This is exactly what I was left wanting in the previous book. The characters are ones you can connect with whether it’s Charon who has fallen for his best friend or it’s Orpheus who has messed up and will do anything to get back the love of his life or if you relate more to Eurydice nursing a broken heart and unsure if you can give it your all in the next relationship.
Katee Robert does such a great job flushing these characters out to make the reader care about them and their journey. what a journey it is, through heartbreak and forgiveness to finding love again in new and old places. She did an amazing job of covering the journey from heartbreak to forgiveness. It didn’t feel rushed or fake, it felt like a natural progression of things as they dealt with various issues.
Of course there’s spice in this and while this is the first time I’ve read a book that has puppy play or whatever it’s called, I appreciate that she didn’t go hardcore into that particular kink but touched on it lightly. Other than that the spice is typical Katee fashion and super hot.
Okay aside from the romance and spice this book was packed with danger and intrigue and you couldn’t help but feel like the stakes had been up’d in this book. You find out tons of information and truly felt a big forward momentum in the overall series story ARC. It feels like we’re on the precipice of something big happening in the next book or two.
Like I said in the beginning this book is the best in the series so far and this one left me looking forward to the next book and seeing what more information we can glean from Ariadne and the Minotaur. I can’t wait to see the fallout of decisions made in this book in the next book. It will make for some very Interesting reading!!
Where to even start! The Dark Olympus series is easily one of my most favorite series. In a series that I thought would be mainly smut the stakes are higher than ever and the plot has developed so much over the last 5 books and Midnight Ruin kept it going, I am absolutely loving it. It might be tied with Electric Idol as my favorite in the series so far. Now while yes there is so much plot, it’s Katee Robert so you know there’s plenty of spice and whoah it was hot!!!! I absolutely loved the dynamic between Eurydice, Charon, and Orpheus I was totally blushing and kicking my feet like a teenage girl! I can’t wait for more of this series, I’m so excited and nervous to see the fate of Olympus.
I have really enjoyed all the books in the series and Midnight Ruin is as good as expected!
This book jumps into the spicy aspects pretty early on and hits all the "why chose" high points. In some ways not much happens beyond three people coming together in a developing triad while the world falls apart around them. In other ways, the overall Dark Olympus plot gets furthered quite a bit. Robert subtly weaves together all the plots to date for the big reveal of what is now facing this carefully built world. You can read this one just for the smut, or just the plot, or both, and you won't be disappointed. The most important bit: I am dying for more in this series and can't wait to see what happens next!
This might be my new favorite book by Katee Robert. I was kicking my feet and panting all the way through!
Eurydice, Charon, & Orpheus. So this is my first book in this series. I think this book can be read as a standalone but there were some events that happened in previous books that were mentioned in this one. The first 1/3 of the book was a challenge to get through but I blame that on starting in the middle of the book.
When the spice picked up after the first 1/3rd I was hooked. These 3 were crazy hot together. IDK if I believe the insta-chemistry between Charon & Orpheus but I can see that they both are in love with Eurydice due to prior history with each other. I am glad that they didn't instantly go to "I love you"s between our MMCs but they said, I care about you and I can see myself falling in love with you.
This book definitely proves that this is an ongoing series and I'm actually excited to read the other books in the series. Not to mention the next book in the series because I want to see what happens with Ariadne.
Katee Robert books make me fall in love! And the spice only makes me swoon a little harder. We delve deeper into this modern Greek God masterpiece and I was so invested in the characters as seeing previous characters from the previous books in the series that made me feel like coming back home. Overall, hot, steamy, and I can't wait to read more.
This book marks a turn, it would seem, for Robert and the series. We are in deep now, in this world and its conflicts. And that is the most delicious part of the book; seeing the characters we know blossom and the battles we knew were coming finally arrive. The romance is there, the sex is sexy, but this is a book for the fans and for those who want to know where this world is heading. Hades, interestingly, along with Persephone, are secretly the stars of this installment. So for fans this book pulls us in further and leaves us wanting more.
This is such a great addition to the series. I read it very quickly and found it easy to read, I cannot wait for the next one to come out.
I was happy to be back to this world and finally get to read the story of Eurydice. Our little fawn has lived a very sheltered live thanks to her overprotective mother and sisters. We are following her though her journey of finding her own voice and her purpose in this world. Most of the story is set in the lower city and I was glad to be back there. The setting felt very different that the previous books. This story has three points of view. Charon is our second point of view. He had a very distinguished voice and is a character that I will remember. Thanks to him we were able to see some action and there were some great scenes with beloved characters from other books. Lastly, we have Orpheus, the man who broke Eurydice’s heart. I spent a lot of time not liking him during the last few installments of the series. As I expected, I didn’t love him, but I should admit that he felt like a very different person and this year changed him. Honestly, Eurydice and Charon were the stars of this book. We were able to get some development of the storyline that connects the series and I am excited about the next book.
A big thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks Casablanca for providing a digital ARC.
Thank you to NetGalley and Katee Robert for allowing me to preview this book!
It's coming down to the wire for the Thirteen as Minos's secret benefactor goes further with their plan to take down the rulers of the city. Violence is escalating and no one is safe, especially not Charon, who works closely with Hades - and who has long loved Eurydice, the youngest and sweetest of the Dimitriou sisters.
Eurydice, however, doesn't feel like she is whole, not after her painful breakup with Orpheus, and is reluctant to start something with Charon when she is still not over her ex. Orpheus, meanwhile, is a shadow of his former self, his soul destroyed by the end of his relationship with Eurydice, and feels like they are still haunting each other's lives.
When these three lives intersect, there is a very real danger that they will not survive with their hearts intact, and if the mysterious villain has their way, they might not survive at all.
I loved seeing characters from the previous books, and I was absolutely delighted that I guessed the identity of the mysterious benefactor - and they are not someone to be trifled with.
This book had everything - spice, feels, and a plot that is gearing up for an amazing finale.
While the spice initially drew me into this series, I've been loving the chance to watch the larger story unfold, and Midnight Ruin is perfect for that. There's still spice, but I'm a sucker for solid worldbuilding, and Katee knocks it out of the park with this book. Not only that, but we're back to spending the majority of our time in the Lower City, so it feels like a full-circle moment with Neon Gods. It did end on a small cliffhanger, so the wait for book 7 is going to be painful, but this one was such a good addition to the series!!
Did somebody ask for spicy? Cause wow….this def brings the heat.
Eurydice, Charon and Orpheus….3 hearts, 3 futures and countless ways to get it wrong or right!!
I enjoyed this book for exactly what it is. Which is lots of sexiness mixed in with some action and a little love. I know these stories don’t give a lot in the way of people falling in love. They all just seem to kind of dive right into the bedroom but when I know that’s what I’m getting I can appreciate it.
Thanks to NetGalley, sourcebooks
, and Katee Robert for the digital ARC for review.
4.5 stars for this wonderful book! Katee Robert is one of my favorite authors for a reason, and this book did not disappoint. I’ve been dying for Eurydice’s book and I finally have it. While Neon Gods still holds my heart as my favorite in this series, this is definitely a close second. As usual, Katee’s spice in this book is just *chef’s kiss* and the characters are beautifully flawed and broken but come together lovingly anyways. The plot really pans out in this book and you see the direction that she is taking the series as a whole, and for me, its absolutely thrilling. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!
Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca and Netgalley for the eARC and thank you to Katee Roberts for writing another absolutely amazing installment to this series.
I freaking LOVE this series. I CANNOT wait for the main and MAJOR plot line to be entirely revealed. The Hermes book cannot come fast enough (and I am fairly certain it's not the next one and that's OK!). All the Katee Robert books please and thank you.
OMG i loved this next installation of the Olympus series!! I LOVED the dynamic between Eurydice, Charon, and Orpheus. I also am so tangled up in the drama of what the hell is going on with Olympus. At this point in the series it cannot be read as a standalone to understand all the dynamics and what is going on, but this series is PHENOMENAL!!
A modern setting for the gods of Olympus, dissent, power plays, murder, kidnapping, betrayals, secrets, and lies - yea life as usual. A creative take on Eurycide, Orpheus, and Charon - yes, we never saw them as FMM, but it works, and will melt your e-reader. War is coming, to be continued.
