Kate spends her first summer away from the Underworld in Greece with James. But her sabbatical barely begins before she is caught up in a feud that goes back for millennia.The Goddess Hunt is a short story meant to not only give the reader a bit of information through a side story, but to tide the reader over between The Goddess Test and Goddess Interrupted. The reader also gets the chance to hear Kate's voice again, but with the addition of Henry's and Pollux's voices.The backstory is that Pollux and Castor, the Gemini twins, were duped by Zeus. Pollux is Zeus's son, but Castor has a different father and is mortal. Pollux pleaded with Zeus to allow Castor to share his immortality and being clever, Zeus agreed by allowing them to alternate days in the Underworld and above. Pollux thought that meant they would be together, but Zeus had other intentions.The story begins millennia ago when Pollux broke Castor out of the Underworld and they have been on the run ever since. Now it falls to Kate to sort out their dilemma despite their distrust of her as Henry's wife.I enjoyed The Goddess Hunt. There are so many myths I have never heard of and the one about the Gemini twins is one of them, even though, *gasp*, I am a Gemini! So the story held extra interest for me and I loved getting a glimpse of what Kate did during her first six months away.Recommended for fans of The Goddess Test and mythology.Google "The Musings of ALMYBNENR" to see this review in its original format and to follow my book review blog.Please note: Whatever I rate a book here, please check what the ratings mean on Goodreads, because those are what I go by.
