I have had luck with the last two short stories I have read.  "Home" by Stacia Kane was a wonderful and complete addition to her Downside series and now "The Goddess Hunt" is another winner!  I find it a rare treat when authors provide a fully complete short story to their existing series.  So often these shorts feel more like fillers and aren't worth the purchase price.  "The Goddess Hunt" was more than worth a couple of dollars to read and enjoy.  I read it straight away after finishing "The Goddess Test".  Kate is off on a trip to Greece with James since its now her six months to do whatever she wants away from Hades and the Underworld. But the Gods are apparently going to always be a part of her life from here on.This time James appears to have a motive to the Greece trip.  He is searching for the Gemini twins Pollax and Castor.  The brothers love each other but the Gods (Zeus) has them separated forevermore...at least until they ran away centuries ago.  But Zeus is hot on their trail and wants them back...separated once more.  But Kate is a good girl and this breaks her heart. And while she may not be meant to see Henry, he is still around and trying to help her. It was really good to see more of James, Henry, Kate and Zeus.  Kate learns a rough lesson: the Gods can be unfair.  Is this really the life that she wants for her eternity?  "The Goodess Hunt" adds to the series. It was a complete story with a final resolution.  I was entertained. That is what I ask for in a short story or novella.  If you enjoyed "The Goddess Hunt" I am sure you will find this one well worth purchasing.
