Goddess Interrupted (Goddess Test #2) by Aimee Carter‏

Description:

Kate Winters has won immortality.

But if she wants a life in the Underworld with Henry, she’ll have to fight for it.

Becoming immortal wasn’t supposed to be the easy part. Though Kate is about to be crowned Queen of the Underworld, she’s as isolated as ever. And despite her growing love for Henry, ruler of the Underworld, he’s becoming ever more distant and secretive. Then, in the midst of Kate’s coronation, Henry is abducted by the only being powerful enough to kill him: the King of the Titans.

As the other gods prepare for a war that could end them all, it is up to Kate to save Henry from the depths of Tartarus. But in order to navigate the endless caverns of the Underworld, Kate must enlist the help of the one person who is the greatest threat to her future.

Henry’s first wife, Persephone. (Goodreads). 

My Thoughts:

I requested this from NetGalley for a review. Actually I didn’t even release that it was on there, I was looking for something else when the book came up. I requested it right away. Thank you NetGalley for approving this read for me. 

I started to read this book without really knowing what was going on. I did not read the description, but I have to say I really liked this book. I actually think it was better than the first book. Book starts off with Kate returning back to the Underworld, back to Henry (or Hades if you will). She soon discovers that things are not going well in the Underworld, Cronos is awake. All the characters from the first book are in this books as well. Most of the gods are there doing what gods and goddesses do. Ava (or Aphrodite) was my favourite of all the gods/goddesses. I actually liked all of them, but Ava was most entertaining and fun.

One thing I was bothered with was relationship between Kate and Henry. It was back to square one, it felt like I was reading first book in the series. They act like they are strangers, there was no affection on Henry’s part. It did not help the matters when Persephone came into the picture. Kate spends the whole time analysing and doubting her whole relationship with Henry. She spends a lot of time doing this before she has a courage to confront Henry and ask him what he wants out of their marriage. Even though the two had a rough patch for the most part, they do manage to work it out at the end of the book. However I hope that book three does not take Henry and Kate back to square one in their relationship, they need to grow not go backwards. 

I think that the author did a wonderful job in writing and the world set up of this book. Hades was always one of my favourite Greek gods, Poseidon second. Kate had grown in this book a lot, even though she is still not confident, and does not really think things out, but her heart is in the right place. Henry, is very distant and aloof towards Kate and others as well, that is just who he is. I cannot wait for book three, we were left with big cliff hanger in this one and I cannot wait to see what will happen in book three, Goddess Inheritance.

Overall this was an excellent read and I am looking forward to books three. It was a fast and entertaining read. It was well written and there was a lot of character build up since book one. If you enjoy book about mythology and its gods/goddesses than you will like this book. It has action, romance, friendship and humour. Give it a try. I give this book 5/5 STARS -Happy Reading.
