It's always been just Kate and her mom—and 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.
My Review:
Apart from all of that, I thought the writing was phenomenal, and the story was amazing. I'm on VACATION in FLORIDA and I still couldn't put it down. I tore through this book and adored every minute of it. Kate was smart and actually tried to figure things out, as opposed to many other girls in books that I quickly get fed up with because they don't see something even when it's staring them in the face. All in all I would definitely recommend this book and I can't wait for the second!

I'm crazy to read it and Abandon by Meg Cabot! I love Greek Mythology! :)
ReplyDeleteThe Goddess Test is a debut that stands out amongst the rest. Aimée Carter weaves together Greek mythology and our modern world into a beautiful, fairytale-like must-read. I gulfed down its 304 pages before I realized I'll have to wait quite a bit to journey into Kate Winters's world once again.
