Electric Idol: A Deliciously Forbidden Modern Retelling of Psyche and Eros

I love the Dimitriou family so much 😭

I read Neon Gods last year and got the second book for my birthday. I am so happy to have finally read it. I love the tropes in this one and Psyche and Eros are really something haha. I would definitely recommend this series if you enjoy spicy modern greek mythology books

Ich mochte dieses Buch auch richtig gerne! den ersten Teil mochte ich zwar etwas mehr, weil ich die Charaktere etwas lieber mochte, aber ich habe an diesem Buch nichts auszusetzen!

Didn't love it or the characters as much as Neon Gods but I still enjoyed it very much!

My travel book A plus size Psyche? An Eros who‘s his mothers Aphrodite‘s killer? And they have to get married to save Psyche from getting killed. I love retellings of mythology anyway. But throw in some smut and then even a plus size and I‘m sold! I also loved that you got both perspectives. Really enjoyed the book!

Hör es dir auf englisch als Hörbuch an! 😍

Hat mir fast noch besser gefallen als Band 1. Die Charaktere waren sehr cool und es ist sehr High Society Mäßig mit Influencer und Promis. Die Perspektive war sehr cool. Die Welt wieder echt interessant und faszinierend. Love Story diesmal ein anderer Ansatz aber gut gemacht. Spannend. Das Ende bzw der Höhepunkt war nur nicht so "Woah" Mäßig wie erwartet.

Ich mochte den zweiten Teil der Reihe wirklich gern. Die Dynamik zwischen Psyche und Eros war wirklich schön zu verfolgen.

Richtige Enttäuschung

i didn’t enjoy this as much as neon gods

Since I discovered Katee Robert for myself, I’ve fallen in love with her books. Volume one of the Dark Olympus series (Neon Gods) blew my mind and that’s why I was extremely excited for the next part of the series. I really like the cover and it goes very well with the plot. As soon as I read the blurb, I knew I had to read the book. My expectations were very high and after reading this book I can say that all my expectantions have been fully met. I love the setting of this series, the plot was exciting from the first time i opend it and the characters were always on my mind. The tension kept building until the a big bang in the end. There were a few similarities to the first book, but volume two can stand completely on its own. The book also has a good dose of drama, but that never was too exaggerated. The erotic scenes are damn hot and well and authentically written. They blend in wonderfully with the plot and never dominate it. Katees writing is so beautiful, emotional and its easy to read. I just flew through the pages and couldn’t put the book down. It was an amazing read. This time it’s about Eros and Psyche. She is the sister of Persephone and she has a very different personality. Psyche knows how to play the game, but she doesn’t get lost in it and she remains true to herself. Eros and Psyche are both broken characters. The scars of both their pasts still linger today. Nevertheless, they have both grown and they go through a great development in the course of the story. Eros in particular is learning that he is worth so much more. He’s so much more than just his mother’s hit man. Psyche and her love for him helping a lot. In addition to the two main characters, Hades, Persephone and the new Zeus also reappear. I love the whole dynamic of the thirteen and their balance of power. „Electric Idol“ was an absolutely brilliant sequel and I can’t wait for the third part to come out. The setting and the characters just offer so much potential for more great stories. If you like Greek mythology, lots of well written smut and fascinating new stories, you should defiantly read this book.
