Lore Olympus: Volume One by Rachel Smythe

mythos97's review

Lore Olympus is very Colleen Hoover coded. Whether that’s good or bad is up to whoever reads this. Although Colleen Hoover books have better pacing, and more coherent storylines that actually have endings. Meanwhile Lore Olympus has multiple storylines that go nowhere.

This wasn’t what I was expecting it to be. It’s also a little racy. The beginning of the book does mention that there are themes of physical and mental abuse, sexual trauma, and toxic relationships.

Lore Olympus proved to be a delightful and swift read. The characters were enjoyable, and I intend to continue with the rest of the series. It serves as a g eat go-to "just for fun" book, offering a light read between more intense ones.
