This was a short story to kind of bridge the gap between books 1 and 2. I read it in an hour. I liked it but it mostly just felt like stalling. Time for book 2!

I quick novella to keep me interested in the series. I am not crazy about these on line books, but they do add a little to the story. We got to learn more about Henry's Love for Kate. We also learn more about Kate and what she thinks of the council and the way things are ran. We see how her being the Queen of the Underworld could be interesting for all that are involved. But all did agree on her didn't they?

The side note between the six months Kate would have to spend with Henry was cute and refreshing. A chance to see who she was without the influence of a Test, her mother's illness and her love for Henry. Seeing her independence was really something spectacular.

آخرین کتاب 2021
احتمال زیاد وقایع این کتاب فرعی ربطی به کتاب دوم دارند. تا اون رو نخوانم نمیفهمم.

This was a really quick read but I enjoyed it nevertheless. The Goddess Hunt takes place between The Goddess Test and Goddess Interrupted, and tells a small adventure from Kate's first six months away from her new husband Henry (aka Hades). Also featuring several of the characters from the first book, this novella is a nice way to bridge the gap between book releases. I can't wait to delve into Goddess Interrupted.

The Goddess Hunt is an ebook only novella set between The Goddess Test and Goddess Interrupted. If you haven’t read the first book in the series, this review may contain spoilers.
Kate is off on her summer “holiday” with James, exploring the Greek islands that her fellow gods once called home. When James takes her on a detour, they come cross twins, Pollux and Castor. They are not happy to see them, having been fugitives from the underworld for thousands of years.
If you enjoyed The Goddess Test, it’s a worthwhile little story. There’s a bit of character development, although not as much as I thought having read Goddess Interrupted first, which left me feeling like I’d missed out on something important. It’d another lesser myth added to the pot which wasn’t overly predictable and I enjoyed the tension between the characters. I’m not sure it would work as a standalone story though.

Review Taken from The Pewter Wolf
A trip to Greece sounds the perfect way to past the time for Kate while she's away from the Underworld and Henry. Expect she finds herself in the middle of a feud that has lasted for millennia. Castor and Pollux has been running away from Zeus and Hades's wrath. And the last person they should trust is Kate, the new Queen of the Underworld. But she wants to help them. But will she succeed?
Before I go any further, I want to talk about the cover. When I first saw this on Amazon, I was kinda scared of it. Doesn't she look a bit like a zombie? This isn't the model's fault as this is the same model used on both The Goddess Test and Goddess Interrupted covers, and if you look at the pictures used in the Goddess Interrupted trailer (see below), there are other pictures that they could have used. Unless they are using one of them for the cover for the third book in the series...
This is a fast read. I read it within a few hours. And this is very much a filler story between book one and book two. With fans of the first book, we read some chapters from Henry's point of view, which is very useful for me as I didn't really relate to him while reading book 1. So, while I still don't get why Kate is in love with him (I mean, seriously?! Am I the only one who thinks that Kate is suffering from Stockholm syndrome?), I felt like I understood him better and could relate to him a bit more.
But I got the feeling that this was written after book 2 as, at the end of Goddess Hunt, there was a tiny extract of Goddess Interrupted, and it wasn't mentioned. All that was mentioned was "You got us lost that one time...". And I sense that Castor and Pollux won't be referenced in the books again.
But I did like this. And I attacked the UK publishers, Mira Ink, on when the third book in the series (and the next ebook novella, The Goddess Legacy) will be out. And they told me that the third book will be out in April 2013. 2013?! That might be hard as this could be most people's replacement for their Twilight Saga addiction...

funny
fast-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? It's complicated

Pollux and castor, why are they in Greece, aren't they form Rome!?
Henry changing his mind about something just because Kate said so, I would have liked if they disagreed longer about it and challenged eachother more.
I liked that Ella/ Artemis named her dog cupcake and that we saw her with a bow and arrow.
James knowing that Eva followed them is so stupid because it just makes him an asshole that willingly gave the locations of Pollux and castor.
Lux and caster are such stupid disguise names.

Just read this novella for the first time and it's sweet. It adds to Kate's character and puts her in more of a stronger light. She won't take shit from Walter (Zeus) and I loved it. Short, sweet, and adds more spunk to Kate.

I was hoping for more adventure throughout the summer not just a night in the beginning.
