“I spent my life folded between the pages of books.In the absence of human relationships I formed bonds with paper characters. I lived love and loss through stories threaded in history; I experienced adolescence by association. My world is one interwoven web of words, stringing limb to limb, bone to sinew, thoughts and images all together. I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction.”

Goddess Interupped by Aimee Carter

Hey guys it's Mari here and we have one announcement WE LOVE WHEN YOU GUYS COMMENT!! It makes us so happy and makes us feel like our blog is worth the time!!!! OK so here we go I'm gonna review Goddess Interuppted!!!!!! 


Goddess Interrupted (Goddess Test, #2)Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter
summary from goodreads.com

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.

First off we should rate it:
Our rating System

Yeah another 6!!! WOOT WOOT! This is amazing and I really was worried in the beginning because it starts off when Henry was abducted by Cronus... So, I was worried it would be kind of like the second book of the nightshade series.... one of your favorite characters wasn't going to be in the whole story that's why it wasn't my favorite book in the nightshade series but that's a tale for another day....
ANYWAYS the writing style only gets better if that's what you are all concerned about here I'll get an excerpt for you:
"I'd nearly died in my attemps to save Henry from fading; I wasn't going to walk away from him because of the possibility I may not like the underworld."  Amazing!! This line is in the beginning and it really captures me. This book is really great for you if you enjoy Greek mythology it puts a beautiful spin on it for example vanilla ice cream is to greek mythology as chocolate syrup is to the twist Aimee Carter puts on Greek mythology in The Goddess Test series. It truly is a beautiful thing to appreciate.  So once you read the first book you're all like,"Wow what could happen next??"
Then you open up Goddess Interruppted any you go,"WOWZA I sooo didn't see THAT happening!!
So, if you AREN'T into Greek Mythology this is the tale of Persephone for you retold by moi.

So, Hades once fell deeply and passoinately in love with Persephone a beautiful goddess.  But, she didn't love him so he kidnapped her, and as the tale says but Persephone didn't know if you eat in the underworld you can't leave until you have Hades permission.  But Hades tricks Persephone into eating 6 pomegranite seeds.  But alas Persephone is miserable in the underworld, so she only has to stay in the underworld for 6 months.....

Hope you enjoyed that.....
So anyways this is how it kind of is twisted up (gorgeuosly) in this series:

So, Persephone's mother set-up an arranged marriage of Hades(Henry) and Persephone.  But, it didn't work out well and if Hades didn't have a queen he would fade.  So, Persephone's mother feeling bad for it not working out and she didn't want him to fade so they decided to start up something called the Goddess Test and this is where Hades (Henry) finds a girl that he thinks would be good at being his queen.  But many girls have already failed.  Until he finds Kate, she is beautiful and kind and pretty awesome......

So, you see how AWESOME the twists are!!!!!!!!!

OK so this was all spoiler free but I'm gonna start the spoiler convo so you're gonna wanna highlight between the brackets so that no skimmers read this by accident.....
{So, this book is amazing.  We went over this but, let's go over what MAKES it awesome!  It's great because while Kate is going through problems as in needing to escape Cronus or having to find pERSEPHONE SHE IS GOING THROUGH PROBLEMS LIKE FEELING that Henry doesn' love her or  tthat she is only a back-up for Persephone becasue SHE IS HER SISTER! So, she also has to go through feeling goulty for the impending war!! And there's alos the worry that  Henry might die and her new family of Olimyian's!  And then when she saw Henry kiss PERSEPHONE I WAS CRYING I PRERSONALLY DON'T LKE PERSEPHONE. I love Adonis though... JuST kIDDING!  bUT. i REALLY want to know more about Adonis so if anyone knows anything about him from Greek mths comment to mea about it !!! So I was also going insane when I found outava or Caliope because Ava says she didn't mean to but Calliope says she know all about it and I think Ava was lying because she seems really upset about Nicolas t the end that Calliope mad eKate PREGNATN! i DIED!! aLOS, i DON'T KNOW TO BELIVE IF it was Ava that made it happen or if Calliope is telling the truth when she says that Aca knew about the plan.  I feel like Ava knew though because I son't know..she seemed desperate to have Nicholas back but .....}So here this is ***Spoiler alert but I'm not going to put it in brackets...
