Goddess Interrupted (Goddess Test, #2)

Original review posted on Oh, For the Love of Books!

I have to say, I did not enjoy this book as much as its predecessor.

Kate....Oh, Kate. One thing I loved about you was your heart and your selfless and admirable qualities. How I found you lacking those. Instead, you whined and complained and gave the ultimatum more times than I could count. I understand you love Henry and want to be with him, but the guy was in love with his old wife for one thousand years....that's not something you get over easily. Sorry hon, but I think its gonna take a little more than a few months for him to get over it. Quit giving him the ultimatum, quit putting your own selfish desires before everyone else's and give him a chance. One redeeming quality? At least you recognized it when you were acting selfishly. However, thats kind of a moot point when you don't do anything about it. The only point when you actually did do something? When you already ruined everything. Good job. Don't worry, I still think your awesome. I'm still rooting for you. And at the end, I was incredibly happy for you (you know, until the very end. read it to find out).

Henry...you poor thing you. I feel for you, I really do. But eventually you are going to have to get over it. Wanna know an awesome saying? Life moves on! However, at least I understand why you are standoffish. And, I'm alright with that. Let Kate help you! You can do it!

Alright, now that I've reprimanded the characters, time to move onto the plot.

Meh.....total love/hate relationship going on. This plot really could've gone somewhere! I think it was a nice turn of events. However....it felt very anti-climatic. All of a sudden your like "yeah! something's gonna happen! woot!" and then....its done. I don't really quite know how to explain it. The plot was extremely interesting its just that when it came time for something awesome to happen, it didn't. Also, for some weird reason, this kind of feels like a filler book to me. I know that the plot actually contributes to the series as a whole, but I guess since it felt anti-climatic is why I feel as if this was a filler. I feel as if this book could have been more fleshed out and not so heavily focused on Kate and her complaining. Until the end. The end is where it got really interesting. And that bring me to.....

YOU CAN'T END A BOOK LIKE THAT! o_O Mind is blown. Seriously, WHAT?!? I'll give you credit Aimee Carter, you now have someone who will get the next book by whatever means necessary.

Overall, I enjoyed the plot but I think it could have been more fleshed out. I think that if the book focused more on the plot instead of Kate's complaining, this could've been much more interesting. However, I will still continue. I'm invested enough to want to know what happens (and that cliffhanger really helps). I believe those who absolutely fell in love with the first book won't be disappointed by this next book. For those who are skeptics? I think you should still give it a chance. Although this may feel like a filler, I can tell the next book will be very interesting.

All the best ♥
