Synopsis:


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.




Wow, this another one of those books that I just could not put down! I love the modern twist on old Greek Mythology. I'm glad that the second book is due out next week but it's going to suck to have to wait another year for the third!
Everything about this book was amazing. The way things were described wasn't too much, or too little. Aimee Carter gave exactly what was needed to make you feel like you were right there alongside Kate going through all the same emotions as her.
I have to admit I figured out rather quickly what, or rather who, was the one wrecking all of Henry's chances and had killed the other girls, but it still made for an interesting story and finding out who the different charcters were at the end was the biggest surprise of all! I can't wait to read the next book in this series!
After this book I think I may try to read more stories with a mythological twist. The Goddess Test sold it for me. :)
