⭐⭐⭐⭐ Was I hooked by that book? Yes. Three untethered souls find themselves and love with each other while chaos and fear ramp up in Olympus.

Eurydice Dimitriou has always been the innocent sister, but she’s finally ready to step out of the long shadow cast by her powerful family and the ex who shattered her heart. Perhaps rough hands on soft skin are exactly what she needs to forget her heartbreak once and for all? Charon Ariti has been Hades’s right-hand man for years. He’s given everything to the lower city, but now he’s ready to take something for himself. He’s only too happy to give Eurydice a special kind of education, but is her heart really free enough to be claimed? Orpheus Makos will do whatever it takes to make things right. Once the golden boy of the upper city, he’s now a shadow of his former self. He’ll do anything to get Eurydice back, even if it means she’s not coming into his arms alone. Three hearts. Three futures. Countless ways to get it wrong. But with enemies slipping through Olympus’s faltering barrier to lay siege on the lower city, a trio of broken hearts will be the least of these would-be lovers’ worries.

MY THOUGHTS

The way that the three MCs embarked on their sexual journey wasn’t always my cup of tea, but I could see how it provided a way for Orpheus to earn penance and to address the attraction simmering between all three. I liked the way their relationship developed later on and the HEA they got at the end.

Charon was the most interesting and likeable of the three by far. Eurydice persistently worked to change people’s perceptions about her and how they handled her. Orpheus had overcorrected his behaviour a bit too much to the docile side.

Plot-wise, mysterious attackers and the growing unrest in Olympus provided plenty of nail-biting action and suspense. Some questions were answered, but lots more were left open-ended for the next book. It was over way too soon.

I can recommend this if you like super steamy MMF romances with political intrigue. The story is told in turn from all three MCs’ perspectives. It’s better to read the books in this series in order, to keep track as the events unfold.
