Hi everyone! I hope you are all doing well. Before you read this book, you are welcome to check out my reviews for the other books in the Dark Olympus series. Katee Robert has quickly become an “auto buy” author for me. I might venture outside of this particular series. I tried a different one by her and didn’t particularly like it but I am willing to give her another try. I’ve also started to appreciate that she is one of the few authors who put disclaimers in her book for explicit content. I know what to expect with her work now but I still appreciate that she (and other authors I have read) have adopted the practice. Let me not ramble any further. Let’s talk about Midnight Ruin, the latest book in the Dark Olympus series.

Eurydice is used to being underestimated. Her sisters are all in powerful positions in Olympus while she has to sneak away from her bodyguard, Charon, to live life. What’s holding her back, though, is the heartbreak caused by her ex-boyfriend, Orpheus. Eurydice and Charon begin to explore their feelings for each other but Orpheus arrives seeking penance for breaking Eurydice’s heart. The three decide on an arrangement that will satisfy all of their needs. Outside of their budding romance, a new threat arises against Olympus. Eurydice, Charon, and Orpheus soon find themselves caught up in larger plot that threatens to tear apart their little haven forever.

I am going to give this newest entry to the Dark Olympus series credit where credit is due because it is definitely closer to the original myth of Orpheus and Eurydice. It’s one of my favorite Greek myths so I was definitely a little more excited for this book. Katee Robert has proven time and time again that she is great at creating chemistry and tension between her characters, even if the relationships are a little unconventional. (This is a throuple/polyamorous romance if that is what floats your boat.) This was certainly fun and spicy in all of the right ways. I also appreciate the overarching plot that links all of these books together. I am interested to see how that all builds up in future books. All in all, this was a pretty satisfying entry to this series and I am going to continue to recommend Katee Robert’s Dark Olympus series for an exciting and steamy time.
