Electric Idol by Katee Robert
/Available Now
This just might be my new favorite Katee Robert series! Electric Idol is the second book in the Dark Olympus series and brings us the smoking hot marriage of convenience between Psyche Dimitriou and Eros Ambrosia. Katee Robert has described this book on her socials as what happens when someone is nice to a feral cat one time and he follows her home. That perfectly describes Eros and his reaction to Psyche showing him the bare minimum of kindness for literally fifteen minutes.
As Psyche is doing her best to avoid an introduction to Zeus by her matchmaking mother, she finds herself looking for any chance to escape the ridiculously lavish party thrown by the Thirteen. When she spots the incredibly handsome, and deadly, Eros injured in the hallway, she can’t help herself and offers to help him bandage his wounds. Thrown by her kindness and honesty, Eros doesn’t know how to react and asks her question that they will come back to many times: How can Psyche help a monster?
Spoiler: He’s not a monster to her! If you think Hades lost his cool over Persephone, get ready for Eros to completely lose himself with Psyche.
When the two of them are caught by the paparazzi in a compromising situation, Eros’s mother Aphrodite calls for heart. Unable to bring any harm to Psyche, Eros suggests that marriage will be the only way to guarantee Psyche’s safety from his ruthless mother.
What follows is a glamorous, thrilling, and incredibly hot story of love, acceptance, and smoking hot passion.
I love Psyche so much! She is incredibly smart and savvy when it comes to her social media presence and uses her skills as an influencer to protect her family’s secrets and maintain distance between their real life and the very public life that comes with being in the Thirteen. Those skills become critical when it comes time to out-maneuver those that want to bring harm to her and Eros. Psyche is a curvy girl who is comfortable in her skin and knows which designers to promote and which do not take plus size fashion seriously. Since Psyche doesn’t fit the “ideal” image for a member of the Thirteen, she has also learned to ignore the hate that fills the comments in all of her posts. When Eros first discovers this-whew! Talk about a man looking to do some harm. Eros is incredibly protective of Psyche and is still able to come off as not being a complete alphahole. His childhood was ruled by his mother’s desire to always portray the picture of perfection, no matter the cost. She emotionally manipulated him from an early age and those scars are still visible as Eros tries to be the man Psyche deserves. And, goodness, does he try hard!
They are such a perfect balance for each other and watching their relationship develop was really beautiful. Also, there’s a summary for Wicked Beauty, the next book in the Dark Olympus series, and OMG!!!! I am so excited to see what Katee has in store for Helen, Achilles, and Patroclus! Did I list 3 names??? I sure did!!!
