Psyche is a strong and confident woman who has always protected her sisters from the perils and politics of Olympus. Eros has been groomed to be his mother’s fixer since he was a child. A stranger’s unexpected kindness should mean nothing to him. When Psyche incites the murderous rage of Aphrodite, she’ll have to use all of her wits to escape with her life. Eros is told to bring Psyche’s heart to his mother, but has he finally been pushed too far? A marriage of convenience is the only way that Eros and Psyche might get what they both truly desire. 

I love retellings with Psyche and Eros! In this version, Eros and Psyche are forced to unite against skeptical families, invasive journalists, and furious goddesses. One of my favorite parts of Electric Idol is how much Eros and Psyche must confront their deepest emotional fears and work together to find their way through Aphrodite’s irrational wrath. Of course, it goes without saying they have a fierce and scorching chemistry between them! I enjoyed Electric Idol just as much as (if not more than) Neon Gods. You do not need to have read Neon Gods to read Electric Idol, though there are fun cameos from the Dimitriou sisters and other gods/goddesses.  

Electric Idol was a delightful dark romance and I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys marriages of convenience, Eros/Psyche retellings, and steamy romance. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series! Thank you to Katee Robert, Sourcebooks Casablanca, and Netgalley for a free ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
