The Goddess test is a story based on Greek mythology with a fresh and modern twist to it. It has romance, mystery and intrigue.
Kate is a strong heroine with a lot of spunk and you simple fall in love with her sweet, innocent and loving personality. The supporting characters are amazing and add a lot to this story, without them it would not succeed.
The story is rather unique and clever. You will be kept guessing until the very end!
This is a fairy easy and enjoyable read. You also don't have to know Greek mythology to understand and appreciate this little gem of a book.
Grade: A
Synopsis [B&N}
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.
