I love mythology, especially Greek and Latin (despite many years of cursing both languages in High School) yet somehow didn't get into this series at all. The voice of the author was too "prominent" for me (since I had read some posts from her prior) possibly? Either way, I sadly DNFed the first book early on, not because of anything in partifular other than my lost interest in the world. Might give it a chance later on. I know a lot of other readers loved it a lot!

Twists, drama, betrayal, a little bit of romance and a touch of the unknown are what fans of Aimee Carter's Goddess Test series can except to find in her sequel, Goddess Interrupted. I couldn't wait to jump back into this series. I wasn't sure what to to except with this sequel, as I had a lot of unanswered questions after reading the first book in this series, and I definitely received a few answers I wanted and then some. What Aimee did with her storyline completely took me by surprised. I wasn't expecting some of the things that happened, to happen in this story. In order to keep my review spoiler free, I won't get into specifics, but I will say I loved that Aimee totally upped the game with Goddess Interrupted.

The sequel to The Goddess Test continues Kate's journey after she's become immortal and is on the verge of being crowned queen of the underworld. Romance mixed with mythology this is sure to be a hit with fans of the first book.

I won't be able to leave a review for this book; I requested it in a past lifetime of my NetGalley use and it no longer fits with my reading interests. If I ever do end up reading it I'll come back and update this!

I originally read The Goddess Test. While it wasn't my favorite, I'm a sucker for reimagined mythology and fairy tales crossing over to fantasy. There was enough in the book to show promise. After reading Goddess Interrupted, I can no longer get behind the story. The first book was better.

Missing what I loved from the first book, which was all the action! Drama! This book spent too much time on the romance aspect and I found I wanted more to happen!

I liked the book well enough for a YA romance book two in a series. Most of them, and this one is in the same boat, are so angsty.
There was a lot of time when I was frustrated with the main character. She is negative about 90%of this story which grows old.
I was surprised by the ending and I’m still going to continue the story. I think this one just falls into the book 2 rut as so many do.

Reviewing old arcs, started but wasn't able to get into. Wont be trying again so no formal review on social media.

Kate Winters' adventures as the newest member of the immortal group of Greek Gods continues in this sequel to The Goddess Test.
Things heat up pretty quickly when Cronus, the Titan father of the original six Gods of the Council has reawakened. His daughter Hera/Calliope is eager to take advantage of his ancient evil powers to finally overthrow Kate once and for all.
One thing that really satisfied me about this book was that finally, the seemingly random renamings of the Greek Gods were explained. Why on earth was Hera called Calliope? And why did Zeus choose to call himself Walter, of all things? Answers were finally forthcoming in a way that at least seemed to make some kind of sense to me.
Henry a.k.a. Hades unfortunately remains as much as a cold fish as ever! If he was passionately interested in Kate... but just too shy, or perhaps too burnt out to try to love again, that I could totally buy. But, poor Kate moons after him, and he doesn't seem to return her feelings. I just want to slap Kate and say, "Girl! Sometimes he's just not into you!"
Okay, I admit it. I'm solidly Team James. What's not to like? Charming, funny, Kate's best friend, James a.k.a. Hermes is perfect for Kate! My main disappointment with the book is that it seems to be discouraging girls to regard the loyal best friend as a romantic choice, and instead encourages girls to throw themselves at the cold, distant, emotionally unavailable, Edward Cullenesque "bad boy." Ugh.
I enjoyed this book, even though I was on the fence about whether or not to continue reading the series after reading the first book which was only ho-hum to me. I wanted to like this series, I really did. And I feel that I've been more than fair - I've really tried to give this series a shot and stuck with it through the second book. But, I don't think I can keep up with it.

Out of all of Aimee Carter's characters, I loved Henry the most.
I adored how you could sense his inner struggle - your heart will ache for him and Kate, as you hope (against all odds) that they'll both come to terms with their love for each other.
Greek mythology is given a fresh interpretation, and is personified through a range of truly loveable characters: James, Ava (not Persephone), and more.
I hate to say this but nearly every book with Greek influences I've read - or movies I've watched - have made Persephone look like the world's biggest witch. She's rude, obnoxious, a flirt...! Fingers-crossed, Aimee gives her some redeemable qualities as the series progresses.
Kate really grows as a heroine. Even though she has grown into her role as Henry's 'wife/love/pet' (the last one was a joke, I swear!) she still holds onto her human fragility - the uncertainty, the fears, the ability to love.
All these emotions that make her human.
My favourite part is *spoiler* when she tells Henry her feelings to Henry in the throne room:
“That’s the problem, Henry. I don’t know how you feel about me. Everyone else seems to have an opinion about it, but the only person I want to hear from is you(...) I know I’m not like her and that I never will be, but you know what, Henry? That’s a good thing; because unlike her I’m not going to betray you…I’ll stay but no matter how much I love you, I will not let you manipulate me like this.”

I really enjoyed this book and the authors writing style. The plot was well thought out and full of surprising twists. I really loved the main character and can't wait to read the next book by this fantastic author.

Back when I first read book one in the Goddess Test trilogy I really enjoyed it. I was eagerly anticipating the release of the sequel. The problem is, though, by the time I got around to reading it my reading tastes had changed. I'm no longer the avid YA paranormal reader I once was, instead I finding myself drawn to YA high fantasy. Long story short, I didn't end up finishing this book. There was nothing wrong with, it's more of a "it's me, not you" situation. The YA paranormal genre is just not for me anymore, but I would still recommend these books to fans of the genre.

I really liked The Goddess Test. I honestly didn’t have extremely high hopes for it, but I ended up devouring it and loving every page. The same cannot be said for Goddess Interrupted. I’m not sure how far I made it in the book but I don’t think it was very far before Kate’s whiny-ness and self-doubt grated on my nerves. Nothing makes me put down a book faster than whiny main characters. Plus, I really, really dislike when I am made to love a couple in one book then in the next one that relationship has a million problems/isn’t as happy as it was etc. That was also the case in this one. I don’t like spending 300 or so pages waiting for a couple to get together, then they do….then repeat that all in the next book.

*I never got around to reading and reviewing this book. I may do so in the future*
