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.

Goddess Interrupted is the second book is The Goddess Test series. I did read the first book, but unfortunately I didn't review it. The first book was great. It incorporated many aspects of Greek mythology and gave it a more modern edge. The second book however, I was disappointed in. I was so excited when I saw Goddess Interrupted available of NetGalley... I may have even danced a little jig.

The book was very well written and the plot was amazing - just like the first book in the series. What I didn't like is how Kate acted throughout the entire book. Where did her spunky, determined attitude towards her new life go? There were battles and life threatening situations going on and all she could think about is Henry. Why won't Henry kiss me? Does Henry even love me? Henry this, Henry that. It really grated on my nerves. And there were pages and pages of this. Besides Kate insistent whining, I felt like chunks of the story were missing. Or maybe the book just moved to fast. I'm not sure which.

Other than those few things, the book was still enjoyable to me. I would have read it even if I knew I wouldn't have liked it because you have to read the next book in the series, right? And I'm sure I'll read the third book when it is released too. I can't wait to see what happens next!
