#28 Wicked Beauty by Katee Robert

[missingvolume]

 

The third book in this setting has the competition to fill Ares position.  Helen has decided that she will compete for it in order to be under no one’s thumb but before she can tell her siblings, her brother the current Zeus tells everyone that Helen will be an extra prize to whomever becomes Ares.   Achilles, Athena’s second in command wants to win and with the help of his friend and partner Patroclus they enter the fight as well. Helen’s former boyfriend Paris has entered along with 2 candidates from outsides Olympus. With three stages to the challenge only five go to the final round. While they are sequestered away someone tries to kill Helen.  Now the three of them form an uneasy alliance in to keep Helen alive until they figure out who is behind it, and of course the sparks begin to fly.  There is already a solid relationship between Achilles and Patroclus, but both can feel the heat building between Helen and them.  Very quickly everything comes to a boiling point and out of the series, this must be the hottest book yet.  I enjoyed the book and now to wonder who the next book in the series will focus on.
