About this ebook

INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER!

He was the most beautiful man in Olympus...and if I wasn't careful, he was going to be my death.

*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Psyche and Eros that's as sinful as it is sweet.*

In the ultra-modern city of Olympus, there's always a price to pay. Psyche Dimitriou knew she'd have to face Aphrodite's jealous rage eventually, but she never expected her literal heart to be at stake...or for Aphrodite's gorgeous son to be the one ordered to strike the killing blow.

Eros has no problem shedding blood. Raised to be his mother's knife in the dark, he's been conditioned to accept that he's more monster than man. But when it comes time to take out his latest target...he can't do it. Confused by his reaction to Psyche's unexpected kindness, he does the only thing he can think of to keep her safe: he binds her to him, body and soul.

Psyche didn't expect to find herself married to the glittering city's most dangerous killer, but something about Eros wakens a fire inside her she's never felt before. As lines blur and loyalties shift, Psyche realizes Eros might take her heart after all...and she's not sure she can survive the loss.

ELECTRIC IDOL is the second instalment in Katee Robert’s contemporay, adult DARK OLYMPUS erotic, romance series, a modern retelling about the gods and goddesses of Olympus. This is twenty-eight year old son of Aphrodite, Eros Ambrosia, and twenty-three year old, social media influencer and daughter of Demeter, Psyche Dimitriou.ELECTRIC IDOL can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story line is revealed where necessary. Told from dual first person perspectives (Eros and Psyche) ELECTRIC IDOL follows the building but forbidden relationship between twenty-eight year old son of Aphrodite, Eros Ambrosia, and twenty-three year old, social media influencer and daughter of Demeter, Psyche Dimitriou. For years Aphrodite and Demeter have been at war with one another but the recent death of Zeus sees a new Zeus ascending the chair, and the new Zeus is looking for a suitable mate. As Demeter has already tried to match Zeus with her daughter Persephone (Neon Gods 1) who ran and found love with Hades, the god of the lower city, Demeter has set her sights on daughter Psyche as a potential mate for Zeus . Aphrodite has someone else in mind, and commands her son Eros Ambrosia to kill our heroine as a means to end her personal rival Demeter, thusly killing the proverbial ‘two birds with one stone’. Unwilling to kill Psyche Dimitriou, Eros offers his hand in marriage, something he hopes will protect the woman with whom he will fall in love. What ensues is the building romance and relationship between Eros and Psyche, and the potential fall-out as Aphrodite makes good on her promise to take down our story line heroine, and their time together comes to an end. Psyche wants nothing to do with our story line hero having watched from the sidelines as Eros was commanded by his mother to kill anyone who got in her way. As his mother’s puppet, Eros has been trained from an early age to do his mother’s bidding but our hero is tired of always having to destroy the weak and the innocent. Tired of his mother’s demands, Eros goes rogue in an effort to save our story line heroine, an act of defiance that sees Aphrodite refusing to step away from her ultimate goal. The relationship between Eros and Psyche is frenemies to lovers relationship in which both are now targeted by Aphrodite. Aphrodite is all about the power, and anyone who stand in her way, or disobeys is subject to her evil commands. Marrying Psyche is the best way to prevent Eros’ mother from attacking but her never suspected that he would fall in love with our story line heroine. The $ex scenes are intimate and passionate, without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text. Once again, we are re-introduced to Persephone’s sisters: Callisto, Persephone, and Eurydice, as well as their mother Demeter; Zeus, Hermes and Dionysus, Aphrodite and a large cast of gods and goddesses, and underlings doing everyone’s bidding. ELECTRIC IDOL is a story of power and control, obsession and jealousy, vengeance, murder, acceptance and love. The premise is entertaining and inventive; the romance is spicy, intimate and seductive; the characters are animated and energetic.

I really enjoyed this story. I absolutely adore the world building that the author has done. The characters are so enchanting and real. I felt so much for the MCs. I am falling so in love with this world and its diverse characters. This is such and enjoyable series. The plot was such a heavy and intense affair. A lot of really intense emotion packed in there. Watching the two MCs come together and grow together was just beautiful. A truly touching story. Love the ending.
