Synopsis
In Olympus, you either have the power to rule…or you are ruled. Achilles Kallis may have been born with nothing, but as a child he vowed he would claw his way into the poisonous city’s inner circle. Now that a coveted role has opened to anyone with the strength to claim it, he and his partner, Patroclus Fotos, plan to compete and double their odds of winning.
Neither expect infamous beauty Helen Kasios to be part of the prize…or for the complicated fire that burns the moment she looks their way.
Zeus may have decided Helen is his to give to away, but she has her own plans. She enters into the competition as a middle finger to the meddling Thirteen rulers, effectively vying for her own hand in marriage. Unfortunately, there are those who would rather see her dead than lead the city. The only people she can trust are the ones she can’t keep her hands off—Achilles and Patroclus. But can she really believe they have her best interests at heart when every stolen kiss is a battlefield?

Review
My third visit to Olympus and I enjoyed Wicked Beauty. Helen was a great FMC!
We met Helen in Elctic Idol, and I was excited to read her book. I also loved that it was going to be MMF. Achilles and Patroclus were great, but I would have liked a little more background. At the start of the book, they were already an established couple, so we don’t get to see them fall for one another. Because honestly, I didn’t get what Patroclus saw in Achilles for a while. However, the end made up for a lot of that.
I loved the story. The world that Katee Robert has created is fantastic. The Thirteen are so exciting, and I love seeing how each one is different and how their titles pass. In Wicked Beauty, we gt much more insight into the world of the Thirteen. I liked the politics that came into play, and I hope they continue in the rest of the series. The Ares trial was so fun, and it was a great backdrop to the love story.
While Electric Idol is still my favorite, I really enjoyed this. Though I must admit, I would have liked just a little more MM with the F.
