BOOK REVIEW: GODDESS TEST BY AIMEE CARTER

The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


First off, I am technically giving this book 4½ stars not just 4. While I didn't feel like this was a 5 star book it was very close and deserves that extra half.

The story is told from the POV of the protagonist Kate as she takes care of her mother who is dying from cancer. In between moving to a new school, making two friends, and taking care of her mom she somehow is chosen to go through a series of tests to become the next Queen of the Underworld.

It does sound like the typical supernatural YA novel and the only reason I picked up was because it was a retelling or should I say expanding on mythology. Once I started reading there was no way for me to put this book down. Yes, it does fall in the whole supernatural YA but don't fret because there is plenty of mystery, mythology, and thankfully a small amount of romance.

I enjoyed reading from Kate's POV and experiencing the same emotions that she is feeling, shock, awe, love, sorrow, and so on. Aimee Carter went above and beyond creating a character that is very relatable and likable for that matter.

If you are a fan of mythology, need a change in YA fiction, or just want something new you should really check this book out.

BOOK REVIEW: GODDESS INTERRUPTED BY AIMEE CARTER

Goddess Interrupted by Aimee Carter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


Taking place 6 months after leaving Eden Manor for the spring and summer, Kate is looking to returning to the Underworld to be reunited with her new husband, Henry (Hades). Things don't seem to go the way she would want them with the awakening of Cronus and Calliope working to free the Titan as well as wanting Kate dead.

This book really had me on edge and at times I wanted to throw it across the room. Once again Aimee Carter extends her retelling of mythology and brings in Persephone, Kate's older sister and the truth of why Henry seems so aloof with Kate. Again, Carter uses raw emotions that you feel as you read from Kate's POV.

BOOK REVIEW: GODDESS INHERITANCE BY AIMEE CARTER

The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee Carter

My rating: 4 of 5 stars


After not being able to put The Goddess Interrupted down I knew there was no way I was going to put this one down and I was right. The conclusion to this amazing series was as close to perfect as one could get. I was absolutely blown away by how Aimee Carter was able to create a marvelous and complex tale that is .

As I have stated in the past two reviews of this series, the way that Carter has been able to create such a connection between Kate and the reader is beyond phenomenal. Somehow she was able to create something more with that connection and I really loved it.
