Goddess Interrupted (Goddess Test, #2) by Aimee Carter

Goddess Interrupted is the second book in author Aimee Carter's Goddess Test series. I was excited when I saw it was on Netgalley. Since I adored the first book, The Goddess Test, I was anxious to read dive into this one.

Goodreads Blurb:

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 whom she would really rather not meet. Henry's first wife, Persephone


My Thoughts:

Goddess Interrupted is the second book in author Aimee Carter's Goddess Test series. I was excited when I saw it was on Netgalley. Since I adored the first book, The Goddess Test, I was anxious to read dive into this one.

Kate Winters goes back to the underworld, back to Henry. When Henry isn't there to greet her upon her arrival, Kate's insecurities start to unfold. She learns that Cronus is trying to escape and Caliope has sided with the powerful and very bad Cronus. She wants to destroy the council and kill Kate. Henry and a few others are captured and held captive. Kate seeks out the one person who can help her, Persephone.

Kate's internal conflict over whether Henry loves her and whether he still is in love with Persephone gets the best of her. I felt that her insecurities throughout Goddess Interrupted, was slightly annoying. I would have liked to see more of Henry, also. His role was small and I felt he seemed weak in comparison to the first installment. Kate and Henry's relationship doesn't really get to a deeper level until the ending.

Overall, this was an okay read. It didn't hold quite the excitement level I had hoped for, but still the story held it's own.
