Radiant Sin

It was fine. I put it down a couple times and didn't have a strong desire to pick it back up again. Not my favorite of the series.

I loved this book. It was everything I wanted.

5 star, critic darling, no.
Awarding winning, probably not.

But I have enjoyed all of the Dark Olympics books, and this was my favorite one yet. I find there has been more plot in the later books, which I enjoy. The spice was so good. I liked the characters. What more could I ask for.

Radiant Sin is the 4th installment in the Dark Olympus series, and this series continues to show up and provide a fantastic read. It felt like a twisted retelling of the game Clue, and for all the right reasons.

Once again, the stakes were high, the spice was spicy, the characters were well developed, and the emotions ran deep.

Cassandra is a feisty and feral FMC and I love her all the more for it. She is intelligent, sharp, prickly around the edges, gorgeous, plus size, fashion forward, and still interacting with the very people who would love to strike her down for what her parents did. Which by the way, was attempt to murder one of the Thirteen to take their seat. She holds her true emotions close and her trust even closer, and will do everything she can to get a 1 way ticket for herself and her sister out of Olympus for good.

Apollo is handsome, intelligent, and so professional around Cassandra it is painful. Reading his POV and realizing he fell for her so long ago is devastating and also so chivalrous of him for trying to keep the power imbalance out of play.

When the only way for them to try to get info on Midas involves posing as a happy couple, things get steamy quick and I was all here for it. Cassandra and Apollo can’t keep their feelings from each other and it quickly devolves into a wild passionate whirlwind behind closed doors – and in closets, sitting rooms, etc.

I loved Radiant Sin, and the POV from both Cassandra and Apollo was utter perfection. Katee Robert did a fantastic job describing the events from each perspective and I really felt like I was in each of their heads.

The plot of Radiant Sin was great! I love an unnervingly charming villain who plays with people like they are dolls. It was so creepy and interesting, even when nothing particularly bad was happening. The suspense was perfect.

I loved how it turned out at the end, and can’t wait to continue on in the series.

Overall, Radiant Sin by Katee Robert is an exercise in lust, affection, murder, spying, trust, and more, so get ready for a wild ride because it sure was one. Definitely would recommend this book and the whole series!

Always obsessed with who done it house party murder mysteries. Katee can do no wrong.

4.5 stars
Another fantastic installment in the Dark Olympus series. Knocked off half a star for being a little predictable. Spice was 3/5

The romance was okay, if wearying at time but murder mystery party with gods!? chefs kiss
