Midnight Ruin is the latest installment in the incredible Dark Olympus series. This is the story of Eurydice, Charon, and Orpheus. While I never could have dreamt up this pairing, Katee Robert unsurprisingly pulls it off perfectly. Eurydice is tired of the assumptions and overprotectiveness from her family. Charon has seen Eurydice start to come out of her shell over the past year and they’ve formed a friendship. But before Eurydice can move on from Orpheus, she needs some form of closure... 

Katee Robert beautifully explores the different dynamics between all three of them. I love how Katee always highlights the importance of consent, aftercare, and partners checking in on each other. Eurydice and Charon have an electric connection that is only enhanced and deepened when Orpheus comes into the picture. Katee never wastes time on miscommunication and instead focuses on creative steamy scenes (the painting scene!!). Midnight Ruin also advanced the political battles happening in Olympus and the threat of their barriers falling. I can’t wait to see what happens next and learn more about Ariadne’s story!

Midnight Ruin is a steamy, kinky, and utterly delightful read. If you’ve never read Dark Olympus before, I would recommend starting at the beginning. This story could work as a standalone but you’ll get so much more out of it if you start at the beginning! I love this series and would highly recommend it. 

Thank you to Katee Robert, Sourcebooks Casablanca, and Netgalley for a free ARC in exchange for an honest review.
