Book Review: The Goddess Chronicles

Yes, I know! This post is in no way related to Stardoll, but I ought it would be nice to have a real-life related post. So here goes!
I've read the first and second book in the series, and currently waiting of the third book; The Goddess Legacy to come out. The amazing writer: Aimée Carter created the chronicles, as well as creating a vivid image in your head as well as letting your imagination grow as she gives details of the surroundings and what people look like.
The Goddess Hunt
The first book, The Goddess Hunt is very sad, so be prepared especially at the end, for tissues! Kate, a teenage girl is helping her mum battle through cancer which has taken over both their lives for over 2 years. Knowing that the mum is going to die, she wants to return to her home town to die. Kate meets a tortured, but mesmerising Henry who claims to be Hades, God of the Underworld, after Ava dies and brining her back again. But everything has a catch. Kate has be spend half her life with Henry ruling the Underworld with him. After he lost his wife Persephone a thousand years ago, Kate feels unloved by Henry, whilst she feels totally in love with him.
Before she rules the Underworld for half her life, she needs to take 7 tests, seeing if she is the one for Henry. But the girls who took the tests before died before the Gods and Goddesses could say if they were accepted or not. Someone is killing the girls. As they grow closer to the end of the 6 months of Kate being there, Henry increasing grows away from Kate. Why? Kate battles against her unknown murderer, boy trouble and the 7 tests which are taken when she leasts expects and she is away from her mum who is in hospital holding on to life thanks to Henry.
Will Kate live or will Henry fade from Earth for eternity?

The Goddess Interuppted
Unfortunately life isn't peaceful for Kate and Henry and Eton Manor. Henry has been kidnapped by Kate's murderer and the only one who can hurt the immortals. Kate has to turn to her dead sister to find out where Henry, her mother and the rest of the immortals are. Not being fully an immortal, Kate has no "super powers" like the rest do who can fight the Titan and murderer. But this book's ending is upsetting, and leaves you on a cliff hanger! I'm not going to tell you what happens, but it is really unexpected! Poor Kate, she never gets peace! (that's all you are getting). But I would recommend tissues beside you (I was crying).
Read to find out!! I'd really recommend reading them, they are truly amazing books! I've read The Hunger Games and Twilight, and think that The Hunger Games are better than Twilight, and the Goddess Chronicles are better than Twilight and a little bit of The Hunger Games. And that's coming from a Twilight and The Hunger Games fan!
