My quote for this week



Goddess Interrupted (Goddess Test, #2)
Goddess Interrupted By Aimée Carter



It is supposed to be the truth." He stared at me and my breath caught in my throat. "If I were a better man, I would be able to show you the love and affection you deserve. As I am not, I can only offer you what I'm capable of giving. But I assure you, just because I do not show it, doesn't mean I do not feel it.”









The Goddess Test books #1 and #2 were the first books that I have read about Greek mythology. I have been interested in it for a long time but I don't know very much about it. The first time I saw The Goddess Test books on someone's blog and read their reviews I knew I had to read them. I loved how the writer changed all the Gods and Goddess' names.

Goodreads Synopsis





Kate Winters has won immortality. But if she wants a life with Henry in the Underworld, 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.




My Review




The following review is my opinion and not a paid review.

When we left off with The Goddess Test Kate was starting her six month vacation in Greece. And now in Goddess Interrupted Kate is returning to the Underworld to spend the rest of her live her life with the man she fell in love with, the King of the Underworld, Henry. Kate and Henry were married in The Goddess Test. Now upon her return she will stand with Henry as the Goddess of the Underworld.

Kate has this fantasy going on i her head where she and Henry will now live happily ever after. But Kate is very disappointed when she arrives home from her vacation and Henry is not there. Kate gets very upset because no one will tell her where Henry is exactly nor what he is doing. Kate wants to be treated as an adult now and not a child. She doesn't understand that they are trying to protect her.

But Kate eventually finds out that they are fighting a battle that they will probably lose in the end. When almost all of the Gods end up having to go and help Henry fight because he has been taken hostage. Henry is a very powerful God so if he ends up hurt and needs help to fight a war then you figure out real quick that whatever they are fighting is very strong and powerful.

Kate is a very strong person when the time comes for her to be. At times she wants everything her way but when she is the only one left to find Henry and the other Gods she does not hesitate. She does what she has to do to save Henry, her mother along with the other Gods and Goddess.

You know I said earlier in my review that when Kate returned from her vacation with a fantasy that she and Henry would live happily ever after. Well yeah she did think that and was disappointed. But what girl that has fallen in love for the first time and married the man of her dreams wouldn't think that. In ways I think that Henry was the selfish one and not Kate. All Kate wanted was for Henry to love her too and spend time with her.

I won Goddess Interrupted from Emilie @ Emilie's Book World . I had read a lot of reviews for The Goddess Test series and knew that I had to read them. When I won Goddess Interrupted I had to have The Goddess Test and so I went out and bought it. I couldn't wait to start reading them. I kept turning the pages and turning the pages wanting to know what was happening next. Although The Goddess Test and Goddess Interrupted kept me turning the pages I didn't want it to end. I can't wait to read The Goddess Inheritance the third book in the series. But I have a few months to wait. It is not expected to be published until February 26th 2013.

Review: The Goddess Test By Aimée Carter




The Goddess Test (Goddess Test, #1)

Title:The Goddess Test

Series: The Goddess Test

Author: Aimée Carter

Published: April 19th 2011

Publisher: Harlequin

Paperback

Pages: 293





Goodreads Synopsis:




EVERY GIRL WHO HAS TAKEN THE TEST HAS DIED.

NOW IT'S KATE'S TURN.

It's always been just Kate and her mom--and her mother is dying. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home. So Kate's going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear that her mother won't live past the fall.

Then she meets Henry. Dark. Tortured. And mesmerizing. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld--and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.

Kate is sure he's crazy--until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. If she suceeds, she'll become Henry's future bride and a goddess.

IF SHE FAILS...




My Review:




The following review is my opinion and not a paid review.

Kate's mother is dying and she is afraid that she will only live until the fall. Her mother's last wish is to move back to her home town. Kate has been taking care of her since she first became sick in her freshman year of high school. Moving to a new town, going to a new school and meeting new friends doesn't affect Kate much. She never really had any friends in her old school with taking care of her mother.

In her new school she meets James a very nice guy who quickly becomes her best friend. She also meets a girl, Ava who doesn't like Kate at all. She thinks Kate wants her boyfriend Dylan. Kate is not interested in dating anyone she just wants to spend as much time as she can with her mother before she dies.

One night Ava wanted Kate to hang out with her which I didn't understand at first. Kate and Ave were not friends. So why did she want Kate to hang out with her? She wanted to play a prank on Kate or maybe she wanted to get rid of Kate. But it doesn't work out like Ava wanted or maybe it did. Ava has an accident and dies. Kate is very upset and has no clue what to do. Henry aka Hades shows up and makes a deal with Kate. He tells her that if she will spend six months of her life with him he will bring Ava back to life. Kate agrees but then when the time comes for her to live with Henry she refuses.

Kate still doesn't trust him even after he brought her friend back to life. But Henry decides to give her another chance. He wants her to be his wife and be the queen of the underworld. So he tells her if she will come and live with him he will keep her mother alive a little longer. Kate agrees because she wants more time to say goodbye to her mother properly.

Kate has to past seven test but she never knows what the test are or even when they are happening. I didn't even figure out what the test were in the beginning or when she was being tested. I think when I had read about 3/4 of the book I began to figure out what the test were. I began then to think back and I could see how Kate handle different things and situations. When I figured it out I thought that is so cool how the test was written into the story.

This was the first book that I have read about Greek mythology. I have been interested in it for a long time but I don't know very much about it. The first time I saw Thr Goddess Test on someone's blog and read their review I knew I had to have it. I loved how the writer changed all the Gods and Goddess' names.
