Title:
Electric Idol: A Divinely Dark Romance Retelling of Psyche and Eros (Dark Olympus)
Condition: BRAND NEW
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 9781464228261
Overview:
In the ultra-modern city of Olympus, power and beauty collide in a myth reimagined for today’s romance readers. Psyche Dimitriou has long known the price of divine jealousy, but she never anticipated that Aphrodite’s fury would reach into the heart itself. Enter Eros, Aphrodite’s formidable son, raised to be a weapon in the shadows—a man who has learned to wield blood as easily as charm. When he’s ordered to strike Psyche down, something unexpected breaks the plan: his mercy. Bound to Psyche by magic, by peril, and by a bond neither can ignore, they begin a dangerous dance of trust, seduction, and survival. As power plays and political scheming unfold around them, Psyche discovers a fire she never invited, and Eros discovers a tenderness he never believed he deserved. This is a bold, cinematic romance that fuses Greek myth with contemporary desire, offering a story that’s as intoxicating as it is unflinchingly human. Katee Robert’s Electric Idol delivers a scorchingly sensual journey through love, loyalty, and the perilous lines between hunter and heart.
What Makes This Book Stand Out:
Electric Idol distinguishes itself with a fearless, divinely dark retelling that shifts the mythic landscape into a modern, neon-lit Olympus. The pairing of Psyche’s intelligent, resilient courage with Eros’s chilling, magnetic intensity creates chemistry that crackles with every page turn. Robert’s voice blends wicked wit, lush moodiness, and brazen heat, avoiding generic rom-com trappings for something more immersive and dangerous. The world-building feels cinematic—glittering palaces, shadowed corridors, and a society where desires have consequences. This is not merely a romance; it’s a crime drama meeting a mythic origin story, where every choice reverberates across the city’s gilded streets. Readers will relish the tension, the moral complexity, and the unapologetic honesty in the lovers’ evolving bond.
Who This Book Is Perfect For:
Ideal for adults who crave romantic suspense with a luxurious, myth-inspired backdrop. Fans of spicy, character-driven stories will thrill to Psyche and Eros’s forbidden alliance, while readers drawn to sharp dialogue, high-stakes plotting, and lush, cinematic prose will find Electric Idol irresistible. It’s a top pick for fans of Dark Olympus and similar myth-retellings, as well as BookTok enthusiasts seeking a standout, adult-oriented romance with heat, heart, and a strong heroine who won’t back down. This paperback is a bold gift idea for romance readers who want a complete, immersive experience in a single, seductive edition.

- Vivid, cinematic Olympus setting with contemporary stakes
