Kate must choose.
During nine months of captivity, Kate Winters has survived a jealous goddess, a vengeful Titan and a pregnancy she never asked for. Now the Queen of the Gods wants her unborn child, and Kate can’t stop her–until Cronus offers a deal.In exchange for her loyalty and devotion, the King of the Titans will spare humanity and let Kate keep her child. Yet even if Kate agrees, he’ll destroy Henry, her mother and the rest of the council. And if she refuses, Cronus will tear the world apart until every last god and mortal is dead.With the fate of everyone she loves resting on her shoulders, Kate must do the impossible: find a way to defeat the most powerful being in existence, even if it costs her everything.
Even if it costs her eternity.
What's Divine About The Goddess Test Series?
Today I was asked to write about what I thought was divine about The Goddess Test series. The Goddess Test series is one of my "go-to" reads. You know when you have one of those afternoons that makes you want to sit down with an enjoyable book full of characters you genuinely like to read about? Yeah, that's this series for me. Okay I have a "few" series like that, but this series is right there with the other "few". It's one of those series that is full of great characters, a hot romance, adventure, a character journey, and it has this mesmerizing world I want to be apart of. Above all that, it's Aimee's creative spin on Greek mythology that makes this divine, and what I love the most about this series.
I'm a sucker for a well told story featuring the Greek Gods, and Aimee only fuels my addiction to this lore with The Goddess Test series. I love it when an author can give a classic story, or a well known mythology a creative spin while at the same time staying some what true to who the characters really are. I feel like Aimee has done just that, and in a truly fascinating way. She's also done something else I love, she's created this untouchable world and made it believable by making it exist beside our own modern day one. Aside from a flawlessly crafted lore, and enticing characters, Aimee has also created this engaging romance that I can't get enough. It's tragic and hopefully, and it always leaves me wanting more! It's as they say, a classic love story.
Aimee has given the Greek mythology an enchanting spin that keeps me coming back for more. Her series isn't all just about the characters, her lovely spin on Greek lore, the romance, or the world building. Her writing is catchy, creative, detailed, fast paced, and hooks you from the moment you start reading book 1. It's the kind of writing that before you know you're done with one book in the series and already reaching for book two. I could easily sit and spend a few hours with this series and happily enjoy the time I've spent doing so. This series is divine, because It keeps me coming back for more. In a world filled with countless titles and so many other worlds to explore, new characters to meet, this is one of the series that I keep going back to. There's just something about the series I love, and I can't wait to get my hands on The Goddess Inheritance.
