Spoilers if you haven't read The Goddess Test.My Summary:Having passed the tests and won immortality, Kate is free for the summer.  Not really wanting to leave her new husband, Henry, but forced by her mother to remember she is still a teen finding her way, Kate heads to Greece with James.  What should be a pleasant summer trip is far from it when James decides to visit some very old friends.  Too bad they don't want to be found especially by the likes of the Gods.  Drawn into the struggle of Lux and Casey, Kate must decide where her loyalties really are.  Does she do what she knows is right or what the wife of Hades would do?  What about Henry, will his anger be kindled or will he see things as Kate does?  And what is James up to here stirring things up between them?  Gonna be an interesting summer.My Thoughts:4 stars - a great readSo I don't trust James - Hermes - at all.  Known for being cunning and shrewd, this guy is so after Kate.  Her being married to Henry - Hades - doesn't seem to phase him in the slightest.  But I did enjoy how Kate is so oblivious to it.I love the characters in this series.  I especially love that they don't necessarily have all the character traits of the classic Greek Gods.  Their names are modern.  They have lost their smug Greek ways, thank the Gods for that.  It's such a fresh look at an old world lore.  This installment has more of that as Kate tries to figure out the story behind Casey and Lux - also known as Castor and Pollux.  I didn't know their story so it was fun to learn it this way.My favorite part of this book was reading from Henry's POV!  Recently taken a huge liking to reading from the male POV but because it was the quiet and sometimes brooding Henry , I was all over it.  I think seeing thing from his perspective really helped me get ready for The Goddess Interrupted too.This is a fun fast read that will have you loving Henry even more and longing for more.  If you've read The Goddess Test, you need to read this one BEFORE The Goddess Interrupted.  If you haven't started this series, then start soon.  It's a great twist on the Greek Gods with loads of romance.
