A vacation in Greece sounds like the perfect way for Kate Winters to spend her first sabbatical away from the Underworld...until she gets caught up in an immortal feud going back millennia. Castor and Pollux have been on the run from Zeus and Hades' wrath for centuries, hiding from the gods who hunt them. The last person they trust is Kate, the new Queen of the Underworld. Nevertheless, she is determined to help their cause. But when it comes to dealing with immortals, Kate still has a lot to learn....

This was a pretty great novella, it was nice to ease back into Kate's world after being away. I also enjoyed getting to meet new people Castor and Pollux was a story that I always felt close to since I am a Gemini. So getting to see a bit more of there story was great. It was also nice to see Kate missing Henry. I was worried that maybe the 6 months away would wear on there new and fragile relationship. It was also fun to see some of the other gods, Ella and Ava are two of my more favorite Greek goddesses and the way the gods all interact kinda makes me chuckle. I enjoyed this story and the quick peek into Kate's world. I look forward to starting goddess interrupted soon. I give this novella 5 stars.

Every girl who has taken the test has died.
Now it's Kate's turn.
It's always been just Kate and her mom--and now her mother is dying. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home. So Kate's going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear her mother won't live past the fall.
Then she meets Henry. Dark. Tortured. And mesmerizing. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld--and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.
Kate is sure he's crazy--until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. If she succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride, and a goddess.
If she fails.

                                         

Once upon a time I had a dream of becoming a history teach with a specialization in mythology, and while I like all mythology Greek/Roman mythology always held a special place in my heart. So when I saw the description of this book I said "I am gonna love that one".  Well it appears that I was 100% right!!  There were things that happened that I truly weren't expecting, and things that played out different than I thought they would.  I really liked Kate, I loved her determination to do whatever she could for the people she cared about. I also really enjoyed Henry, I felt for him and all I wanted at points was to know that he was going to fight for what he really wanted.  I really don't know what more I can say about this book I don't want to give anything important away but at the same time feel compelled to gush and gush about it. I guess I should leave it at. I really thought this was a great book and I hope that everyone who got teased by my teaser yesterday or that loves mythology  will grab a copy and give it a try.  I'm gonna give this one 4.5 stars!!
