Week 48 Review: Midnight Ruin

From Goodreads:

Eurydice Dimitriou has always been the innocent sister, but she's finally ready to step out of the long shadow cast by her powerful family…and the ex who shattered her heart. Perhaps rough hands on soft skin are exactly what she needs to forget her heartbreak once and for all?

Charon Ariti has been Hades's right-hand man for years. He's given everything to the lower city, but now he's ready to take something for himself. He's only too happy to give Eurydice a special kind of education…but is her heart really free enough to be claimed?

Orpheus Makos will do whatever it takes to make things right. Once the golden boy of the upper city, he's now a shadow of his former self. He'll do anything to get Eurydice back…even if it means she's not coming into his arms alone. Three hearts. Three futures. Countless ways to get it wrong.

But with enemies slipping through Olympus's faltering barrier to lay siege on the lower city, a trio of broken hearts will be the least of these would-be lovers' worries…

My Review:
Of course I had to read this book right away! I love Katee Robert's writing and this series, and boy, do things pick up in this book! I loved reading about the three of them and their relationship-as things with the wider city are getting more and more intense! 

Looking at the couples for the rest of the series, basically all of them have had a mention about their interactions and relationships set up in the previous books, which is really great, to see things building. For this particular book, the things that have been building are that Eurydice and Orpheus were dating in the first book, until the at-the-time Zeus used him to get at Persephone. So they've got this connection that's been long standing. And Eurydice and Charon had that time together in Radiant Sin.

Their dynamics between the three of them were immaculate! That there's this hurt but still love between Eurydice and Orpheus, that there's this growing love between her and Charon, and there's an attraction between Charon and Orpheus, yeah, the three of them work so well together! 

Oh, man, the bigger series overarching plot! Eurydice was working on getting more information from Ariadne, and boy the things that she knew! That reveal was amazing, and I'm so excited to see how it'll play out! And the action! That is something that I really need to know how it's going to play out from there, because that's a big move, I need to know! 

This was another fantastic read in this series and I can't wait for the next!
