The Goddess Inheritance by Aimee CarterMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Summary:
Kate has survived nine months of captivity by Calliope and Cronus, and her child is due soon. Calliope wanted to punish Kate and it looks like she will use Kate’s newborn baby to do it. Unless Kate is willing to make a deal with Cronus to save herself and her baby; a deal that would ultimately result in her beloved Henry’s death. What’s a new goddess to do when she has to choose between her child and the man she loves?
Review:
The teaser at the end of the second novel was almost more than I could bear. I couldn’t wait to see where this story would go, and how it would end. I had so many expectations for this book, I think I might have set my sights too high. While I did thoroughly enjoy this novel, at the end I felt like I was missing something. I wanted there to be more Kate and Henry—like the other novels these two spend a lot of time apart and working at cross purposes. I wanted to see more of them together working as a couple.
That said, I still really enjoyed this series and this last book. It was good to finally see the series end, and though I had wished to see more cooperation between Henry and Kate, I can’t say that I was disappointed. Carter is good at keeping the tension and the action coming.
I fell in love with these characters during the first book, and really wanted to know how their story would play out. This third book provided us with a conclusion for their story, but still left you wanting more. I really enjoyed the world Carter created for her characters. I’ll admit when I first saw the premise for this series, I had my doubts about how well it would work. Carter pulled it off superbly.
Overall:
Overall, this turned out to be a fantastic series and one that I am very happy I read. I don’t finish many series these days, so it is saying something that I made all the way through this one. I really enjoyed it. The characters are likable, but also fallible. Time well spent.

Aweosme! After that teaser at the end of Goddest Interrupted, I knew I had to read the next book ASAP or I'll probably go mad from all that waiting and guessing and waiting an guessing xD Though I'm not a big fan of this series, I'm liking how the series improved and I'm really looking forward to see how Kate and Henry will be working together as a couple, great review! :)
