Electric Idol

Books, Coffee & Passion

I enjoyed Electric Idol more than Neon Gods. I liked Eros and Psyche more as characters than Hades and Persephone and that is probably the reason I was more invested in their story.

I loved Psyche. She was fierce! She was also kind and sweet, smart and cunning, bold, super confident, and sometimes not as confident as she seemed to be. She was flawed. A fantastic character. I loved Eros too! His relationship with his mother, his struggles, the way he dealt with his feelings, his sex appeal, his sense of humor. For sure, a complex character. Both of these characters felt real and flawed. The more we got to know them, the more their connection made sense. I understood why Eros was intrigued by Psyche and why Psyche was tempted by Eros. And they were perfect for each other!

The chemistry between Eros and Psyche was HOT, HOT, HOT. Holly hell, the sexual tension between these two was incredible. Even though it felt a little instalove, their emotional connection was palpable. The steamy scenes were great. Nothing over the top with little to no kinks. However, it still worked so well for these two characters.

The world is simple but engaging. The intrigue worked better here than in Neon Gods, maybe because we got to see several more threads between the characters and the story unfolds in Olympus. So many power plays!

The family bond between Psyche and her sisters, and even her mother, Demeter, was one of my favorite aspects of this story. A strong family dynamic with some level of dysfunction, despite Demeter's lust for power. I'm very curious about Callisto's story!

Overall, super entertaining and a fun read. I'll keep reading the series as soon as the next book is out.
