Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter

Goddess Interrupted (Goddess Test, #2)

by Aimée Carter

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.

I did want to enjoy this, the back of the book promised big conflict, romance, tension and what I got was a whiny girl who should have been sent to college and to get a job for a few years before she was involved in the events of the first book even.

If you're asking yourself if you love him during what is basically your honeymoon you got married too fast. The fact that you spent six months with another man? That you didn't jump his bones the minute you got back? Maybe the two of you have issues you need to deal with before getting caught up in ceremonies. FFS Talk already, get someone to help you, stop taking their "of course he loves you" and start asking you mum, particualarly, what the hell she means by that.

It wasn't a bad read, it's just the conflict was all in Kate's head, she annoyed the heck out of me (and FYI Henry, tell her to get her ass up to the real world instead of being happy she wants to spend her whole time down with you, she needs more life experience)

I'm sorry, this did come across as a "marry in haste, repent at leisure" scenario, and a little bit of real delayed gratification with the two of them rather than rushing into stuff would have been a good idea.

I'm curious to know how the series goes on, but I hope Kate isn't as whiny in the next one.
