Book Review: Midnight Ruin
✨ Mythology + romance = perfection ✨
I will never miss a chance to read a Greek Mythology retelling. From Percy Jackson, to Madaline Miller, I’ve read my fair share- and none of them have captured my heart quite like the Dark Olympus series by Katee Roberts.
Midnight Ruin swept me up in one of my absolute favorite Greek myths and gave it such a fresh, emotional spin. The dynamic between these characters is messy, heartfelt, and full of growth—and yes, I’m a total sucker for stories where they both love her.
This was such a strong installment in the Dark Olympus series—4/5 ⭐ from me. Katee Robert always manages to blend sizzling chemistry with real character development, and it keeps me coming back every time. Like I said- Greek mythology retellings are my kryptonite, and this one delivered exactly what I wanted. 🖤
