Radiant Sin

Dark Olympus, Book 4

By: Katee Robert

Narrated by: Zara Hampton-Brown, Alex Moorcock

As a disgraced member of a fallen house, Cassandra Gataki has seen firsthand what comes from trusting the venomous Thirteen. But when the maddeningly gorgeous and kind Apollo asks her to go undercover as his plus-one at a week-long party hosted by a dangerous new power player...Cassandra reluctantly agrees to have his back.

But she has one condition: when it's all over and Apollo has the ammunition he needs to protect Olympus, she and her sister will be allowed to leave—for good.

Apollo may be the city's official spymaster, but it's his ability to inspire others that keeps him at the top. Despite what the rest of Olympus says, there's no one he trusts more than Cassandra. Yet even as their fake relationship takes a wicked turn for the scalding hot, a very real danger surfaces...threatening not only Cassandra and Apollo but the very heart of Olympus itself.

Spice storyline

Not much happens until the end of the book. No spice until halfway through the book. That said the performance was very good. My investment in the series will keep me coming back for more

Love the series

I love this series and this latest book was as great as the rest. Well written, good character development, and sexy but most of all, just a wonderful story. The next book can’t come out fast enough!

I’m invested

It was really good! The story is getting very interesting though I was sad because I didn’t hear much of an update on my fav couple (eros and psyche) maybe next book 😢 I’m hoping for extra content for valentines day on this series in katees newsletter ❤️

A knight in shining armor and a headstrong queen!

I would have to say the series takes a little to get through the further more into the series you get. There are good parts and some parts that get annoying but all in all a good book. Cassandra is a headstrong plus size woman who has her own mind and is like a porcupine with everyone EXCEPT Apollo. The lovely and considerate Apollo is the reason that my heart wanted to keep reading this book. Although, the small HEA at the end annoys me because its only the last few pages/minutes and but it warmed my heart. I do look forward to the next book but I have a very slight hesitation.

Another hot romance, but a frustrating plot.

Katee Robert does not fail to deliver on another Dark Olympus steamy romance. I really enjoyed the characters of Apollo and Cassandra, and how the myth of Cassandra is woven into the story. However, the plot of the story was so frustrating: it was clear what was happening, and while I appreciate the ties to the Cassandra myth with no one heeding her warnings, it was almost enraging to read.

Especially the ending: The final chapters are where my greatest frustrations with the book came in, to the point I almost DNF'd. Over and over again we are told none of the 13 are saints, and willing to get their hands dirty, but the most simple and obvious solution to the plot here is not taken. While this does set up the next book(s?) for the deeper overarching plot introduced in Wicked Beauty, it is frustrating to read that the obvious answer isn't even really discussed! It's so jarring and out of line from what I expect from the characterization of players from many of the books, it impacted my enjoyment of the entire book due to those few short chapters.

Both narrators were fantastic, the writing and romance/erotica was all superbly done, but this is not a book I plan to revisit. I have faith this will all serve a purpose in coming book(s), but with that in mind, I wish I would have waited til closer to the release of the next book before listening to this one.

All of the pining + murder mystery

Absolutely adored this book. One of the best in the series. So much angsty pining and tension, I loved it.

Pretty good

This one I liked the most so far. It has the best storyline and plot. I feel like all of them but especially this one with the party and guests, that the books could have been longer with deeper stories. There was an underline opportunity for more. We’ll see.

as always, wonderful

she does it again. I love her sorry telling, and of course, the descriptive language. off to read the next

As always, I love it.

I love the Dark Olympus and Wicked Villains series’. This one did not disappoint and I can’t wait for the next!

Best so far in this series

This was the best book so far in this series. I enjoyed the house party set up for the story. Keeping a nest of vipers locked in together and forcing them to play antiquated games really amped up the intrigue and tension. I also appreciated that Cassandra and Apollo were on each other’s side from the very beginning rather than rivals. The dynamic between them was the best part of the story.
