Goddess Interrupted gets an A Plus

For Teens, by Teens ...      Kate Winters has experienced a lot of change in her life; she is now immortal, and is soon to be crowned Queen of the Underworld.  But these changes aren’t as difficult as trying to figure out the complicated relationship with her husband [and God of the Underworld] Henry. Her struggles to win over his guarded heart puts Kate face to face with the one person who could ruin it all: Persephone, Henry’s first love.
            As an epic battle brews, the gods and goddess are forced to work together to contain Cronus, King of the Titans. Kate attempts to help, but her newbie status puts her in harm’s way. As Kate fights for her life, she also fights for love, but does she have the patience and persistence to stay in the Underworld when her husband’s loyalty and love is in question?

            Goddess Interrupted is a fantastic and addictive read.  Carter combines old-school Greek mythology with a modern day twist, giving this classic story the perfect mythology makeover. In book 2, Kate brings all of her strengths and insecurities with her as she constantly struggles to figure out Henry. Always “dark and mysterious”, Henry’s behavior is strangely charming.  Because of the unpredictable plot and interesting characters, I simply could not put this book down.  I loved it, and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.  Goddess Interrupted ends with an unexpected twist, which will cause you to email Aimee Carter and shamelessly beg for book 3. In fact… I have already done that myself! I give this book my highest rating: A+, and as soon as it is released, I will personally purchase multiple copies to share with my students.
