Considering this is the second book on this series, the word building and twists are marginally better.

Comparing Payche and Persephone, the former has more personality and can certainly stand her ground. However, characterization for Eros was somewhat under developed though. Eros was presented as a hitman with Mommy issues and then fell in love with a nice young woman. With all the descriptives painted with how he was a monster, he came across as just a possessive Mafia daddy underserving of Psyche's love - and there's mothing wroing with this, except for the fact that there seems to be missing pages to truly explore how he was able to move past his perception of himself and to truly love Psyche.

Fake dating concept is nothing new and it was just tad bit predictable with how steamy the scenes will be. The climactic face off was also underwhelming as I already had this assumption that with Psyche being an influencer and all, the plan to expose Aphrodite is thru livestreaming. However, I did not expect the little twist at the end regarding Callisto.
Since there is a 3rd book, might as well be a good ending to introduce the next installment
