Goddess Interrupted is the second book in Aimee Carter's series. I read the Goddess Test earlier last month and I really, really liked it. Since then I've been eagerly awaiting the sequel- watching the book trailer almost a thousand times to quench my thirst. Man, I was not at all disappointed with the Goddess Interrupted......I'm really not even sure how to put my love into words, but, here we go! :)
In the Goddess Interrupted, Kate returns to Henry after spending six months in Greece with her friend James. When Kate returns, she feels a distance between Henry and her; making her become insecure and unsure of going forward with her relationship with Henry. My biggest and only problem with this book was how Kate handled her jealousy towards Henry's first wife, Persephone. At times I found Kate becoming a bit selfish- she expected Henry to just drop his feelings towards Persephone like that *virtual snap of the fingers* and I think that was completely unfair to Henry. The distance that this put between the two was agonizing beyond belief, but luckily, their "make-up session" was pretty damn great! ;P
I'm seriously still debating whether or not I should reread the ending for the tenth time. Yeah.....it was THAT good. Personally, what made this book so great was the last twenty pages- SO MUCH HAPPENS. Just when you think the story is about to slow down....BAM.....and we are left with a HUGE cliffhanger. Ughhh I wish I could write more about it but I definitely don't want to give away any spoilers to you guys.
Some of you that read my review on The Goddess Test may remember me desperately hoping there wouldn't be a love triangle between Henry, Kate, and James. Luckily, this didn't happen (well, at least not much) Although James did take a pretty big role in the "jealousness" between Henry and Kate, I was happy to see that Kate didn't have romantic feeling towards James- she is completely focused on loving Henry.
The Cover...
The cover for The Goddess Interrupted is just stunning. I don't know what it is about the covers for this series but I can't get enough of them! Its got this modern-day Greek look that is completely addicting. This is definitely one of those covers that make your bookshelf look prettier than before. Harlequin Teen- my bookshelf thanks you :)

Favourite Quotes...
“She's proud of you. She said so herself. And she knows you deserved a chance to be happy. I know that, too" I added. "I just wish Henry could look at me the way he looks at you."
Persephone wrapped her fingers around mine. "You should be glad he doesn't. When he looks at me, he hurts. But when he sees you..." She smiled faintly "He has hope. I'm not surprised you don't notice it. It took me a while to read him, too. I spent thousands of years with him though, and I know that look. I saw it the day we got married. You don't forget the first time someone looks at you like that.”

“It is supposed to be the truth." He stared at me and my breath caught in my throat. "If I were a better man, I would be able to show you the love and affection you deserve. As I am not, I can only offer you what I'm capable of giving. But I assure you, just because I do not show it, doesn't mean I do not feel it.”
Overall...
