Lowkey, I can't believe I actually listened to the freaking audiobook in full :')))))
(was surprised with myself lol)
But as far as spicy romance's goes, the audiobook was okay. I feel like there were parts of the book was a bit off but political intrigue wise, I actually liked it.
Spicy Rate: 3.75/5 (thats high even for me lol)
Also not gonna put any disclaimers but this is supposedly to be a dark romance so you go in knowing what ur reading so there's that kay :)
So.......... as far as the series go, I think I will rank this on my third best maybe? But I feel like since its a polyamorous (4 people) in this relationship, with MM, FF and MFM (?) in here, it was a bit weird with Pandora going in the romance tangle. Don't get me wrong, her and Aphrodite's scene was fire but it was just ........... abrupt ( i mean that's saying something for katee's book but even I can't justify this haha). I've totally accepted besides Radiant Sin, which is Apollo's and Cassandra's book, the rest of these books are love at first sight which is common in katee's book and i just came to accept it.
But I don't know... I think I might have wanted more progression with the four of them rather than just having the book finish just like that so that's what bothered me most I feel. I appreciated that the audiobook has two narrators, one female and male and it adds more depth to the story as a whole. Adonis and Theseus is <333333 I love them together.
Political intrigue and plot-wise, I'm excited to know how it unfolds at the end. Its the way that these books and these series had me on a chokehold (pun intended), and how I'm just going thru Katee's books like its her shopping list or something lol. I like the powerplay and how it unfolded at the end and I kind of somewhat guessed who the "person narrating" the chaos in Olympus but we'll see. I feel like we'll only get to know once in Poseidon's book or something.
So yeah, this was an okay read for me. Intimate moments in here was just 🥺
