"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."
Okay, I feel like "The Goddess Test" is extremely underrated — I hardly see anything online about it and this book completely blew my mind away! Why are more people not talking about this book and it's sequel: Goddess Interrupted! I'm not sure if it's a lack of advertising or what — but, to me, this book should be book talked and reviewed everywhere! I love this world, these characters, and the mythology!

"Goddess Interrupted" whisked me away at a time when I needed it most. I'm so thankful that this was the book I was in the middle of when my dad passed away last week. It was a book I knew I was going to love and therefore it was the perfect companion as I struggled to escape my sorrow. There was a moment in the beginning where I thought it was going to be pull a "Fever" and whisk my fairy-tale... err mythological hero away from me; like Kate, I wasn't feeling the love like I expected to. But by the end... let's just say I was satisfied.

What stood out the most throughout this book for me was that on my Nook there were at least four moments toward the end of the novel where I was afraid to click the button to turn the page because I was afraid that the page I was currently on was the last page. Does that make sense? Sometimes with Galleys it will say there are 299 pages but the last four pages are copyright information, acknowledgements, or other information so you just never know when that last sentence is going to appear! And for the first time, this really scared me! I was like, "NO! I'm not ready yet!" I'm so thankful I had the opportunity to read this book at this time in my life. It was the "pick me up" I've been needing for sure.

Can I just say... I LOVE HENRY!!!! I definitely need some more of him. He (and Linden) might be the only reason(s) that I would read fanfiction again.:)
