Thank to Kat Kennedy's beautiful review, I am now aware that my worst nightmares for the book came true and managed to be worse than I ever thought it would be. Everyone judges Persephone as a whore and the entire book is basically a misogynistic piece of shit with a lot of double standards.
-sigh- I hate when this happens. Screw age laws. Who wants to buy me some shots at the bar to make me feel better?
I would have left this book alone, but this part of the blurb made my More...

I requested Goddess Interrupted as I'd seen potential, amidst the frustration, in The Goddess Test. I thought that, given time, hard work and thoughtful application to her prose, Carter might be a good author one day.
Unfortunately, that didn't quite happen here and part of me understands why. A lot of the reviews for The Goddess Test focus on:
GAH! The mythology! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Seeing as I just finished the book, I'm going to need time and a bottle of vodka in order to process that ending. Epic cliffhanger to rival Holly Black's 'White Cat'.

Last year, I read and adored The Goddess Test. I was super giddy to get my hands on an early copy of Goddess Interrupted!
If you have not read The Goddess Test yet, I suggest you do so before reading this review. However, I will try to keep it as spoiler-free as possible.
Goddess Interrupted picks up six months after The Goddess Test left off. Kate is heading home from her six month say in Greece with her best friend, James. She’s expecting a warm welcome from her new hus More...

Even though the first book was poorly written, the story still captured my interest and therefore I am looking forward for this to be released.

I'm not going to lie--for the majority of the time I was reading this book I was angry. Really angry. Not angry as in I didn't like it, but angry as in "How could [insert character] do that to [insert character]?" But if a book managed to make me feel so angry that I wanted to rip a character's head off then that's because I was involved in it enough to do so.

I have another great book to review, Goddess Interrupted, by Aimee Carter. This is the second book in the Goddess series, the first being The Goddess Test. I took the opportunity to read book one first, and just let me say, it’s great. So, pick it up first.

Goddess interrupted is an amazing read and I love every Sentence! It was an emotional roller coaster, still engrossing. I was rapt from the very 1st chapter and I couldn’t stop reading. I read the story in one day, one seating. Aimee Carter has written another captivating tale. Though, the foundation of this was based on the Greek myth of Hades and Persephone, Carter added more facets and twist and romance and surprises and suspense that will keep you on the edge of your seat and keep your hea

This is where I admit that I read THE GODDESS TEST last year only after much badgering by a fellow reading friend. To say I was unsure of whether I'd like is a bit of an understatement, but as this friend always picks up the books I throw at her, I had to give it a shot.
And, guess what, minions? I love, love, LOVED that book. It was fresh and unique and in the midst of a time when vampires, werewolves, angels, demons, and ghosts reign supreme, this storyline (comprised More...

I was one of those that really liked the first book. I tend to get excited over Greek Mythology stories. The second book in this series, for me, was just okay. I still enjoyed the story, but I didn't feel as connected to Kate as I did in the first book.
The story is interesting though. There is some major things happening in this one. Kate has learned she's immortal... but there is something out there than can snuff her out, along with the rest of the Gods she thought were untouchable More...

We follow Kate as she joins Henry in the Underworld as his official consort, and we get to see a bit more about their relationship, or lack-thereof.

Having been neither under or over whelmed by The Goddess Test, I was expecting more of the same from Goddess Interrupted. After repeatedly putting the book down in frustration, just to pick it back up again a minute later, I quickly realized that Goddess Interrupted had successfully infiltrated my defences and dug its emotionally-havoc wreaking claws in deep.

It was a thought provoking book for me that made me rethink how I felt about a few of the characters and why they were one way or another.

When requesting this title at NetGalley I actually thought it was part 1 and when I realized it wasn’t I bought and the first part, The Goddess Test, which didn’t convince me at all. To my relief part 2 “Goddess Interrupted” was indeed way better, which is noteworthy as I think second parts of trilogies tend to turn out as lame bridges between a compelling start and a big finale.

This is not a story of Greek Gods and Goddesses fighting their creators for the right to live and prosper. I mean yes, it is, but to me what this story really is about is what happens when you fall in love with someone and you come to the painful realization that they may not love you as much or in the same way that you love them.

Kate the new Immortal faces her life with Hades/Henry in the Underworld. She is to have her coronation to crown her the Queen. She hesitates a moment and everything goes wrong, Henry and his family face impossible odds. The ceremony is not completed and she is feeling very insecure about Henry's feelings. He still love Persephone, so where does that leave Kate? She struggles and James is not helping with his advisement's.
