Kate Winters has won immortality. 

But if she wants a life in the Underworld with Henry, 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 Thoughts:

Perfectly heartbreaking and it was perfectly fine! The ending left me literally aghast! It was very explicably hanging, which left me crazy enough to want the next one!

This contemporary take of Greek mythology once again filled my senses with the world where gods/goddesses exist and made me want to be a part of that world. The pacing of the story’s fast, but not too fast. There’s more action, more adventure, and more heartbreaking decisions and encounters we’ve never seen in Goddess Test. Where Goddess Test lack the “umph” I was talking about, Goddess INterrupted filled it in! There’s the suspense thrill I’ve been looking for! More secrets revealed, and the ending will certainly leave you baffled and if you’re emotional, it’ll leave you crying and shouting! (I would have done this but everybody was sleeping so I silently did those, just imagine, haha).

After 6 months of summer away from Eden and from Henry, Kate’s so excited to return to her home. Only she’s faced with lots of problems including the distancing Henry. This certainly made me hate Henry. I was constantly feeling this knife-piercing ache in my heart every time Kate’s hurt. There you go, some marriage complications, and the marriage hasn’t even begun. Then there’s Calliope’s issues which led them all to a life and death situation, when the Titan Cronus is awakening..mind you, because of Calliope. Everything’s changing. Then there’s some kidnapping, some pride-swallowing adventure, and some difficult decisions to do. I always turned the page with so much fervor and excitement built on me. I just enjoyed this novel so much!

Aimee Carter surely knows how to keep a reader glued to her stories. Now, I’m addicted. Warning though, be prepared for the heartaches! :)
