Neon Gods by Katee Robert
Thank you Netgalley for the ARC!
I am obsessed with this book and cannot believe I have not read any of Katee Robert's other stuff.
It is possible that all my friends will have to mute my messages for the foreseeable future as I ONLY want to talk about Neon Gods. (I'm not sorry.)
It has:
- super hot Greek Gods set in modern-day
- fierce women who are powerhouses
- stunning imagery
- explicit AF sex scenes
- CONSENT! Repeat, mutual, verbal, and physical consent!
The hottest part of this book is ^^^. They agree on the rules of their play AND they check in with each other, change the scene to adjust if it is too much, and check in again, both physically and emotionally! I literally can't explain to you how this is the healthiest relationship I have ever read.
The communication and trust between these characters were not lip-service, they did not say "I trust you" and then at the first possibility of that trust being tested, break it. They actually trusted each other. Believed in the other one and did not judge based on their own preconceived notions. At all times!
#relationshipgoals does not begin to cover how much I love Persephone and Hades in this book. I was also a huge fan of the side characters, they are not cut-and-dry, their stories are yet to fully unfold and I am here for all of them.
Now I need to go back and read Katee Robert's entire back catalog until her next book comes out. (I have a feeling I'm gonna need a tall glass of water to cool me down.)- Sky
