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 that 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 suceeds, she'll become Henry's future bride and a goddess.
IF SHE FAILS...
My Review:
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review.
Kate's mother is dying and she is afraid that she will only live until the fall. Her mother's last wish is to move back to her home town. Kate has been taking care of her since she first became sick in her freshman year of high school. Moving to a new town, going to a new school and meeting new friends doesn't affect Kate much. She never really had any friends in her old school with taking care of her mother.
In her new school she meets James a very nice guy who quickly becomes her best friend. She also meets a girl, Ava who doesn't like Kate at all. She thinks Kate wants her boyfriend Dylan. Kate is not interested in dating anyone she just wants to spend as much time as she can with her mother before she dies.
One night Ava wanted Kate to hang out with her which I didn't understand at first. Kate and Ave were not friends. So why did she want Kate to hang out with her? She wanted to play a prank on Kate or maybe she wanted to get rid of Kate. But it doesn't work out like Ava wanted or maybe it did. Ava has an accident and dies. Kate is very upset and has no clue what to do. Henry aka Hades shows up and makes a deal with Kate. He tells her that if she will spend six months of her life with him he will bring Ava back to life. Kate agrees but then when the time comes for her to live with Henry she refuses.
Kate still doesn't trust him even after he brought her friend back to life. But Henry decides to give her another chance. He wants her to be his wife and be the queen of the underworld. So he tells her if she will come and live with him he will keep her mother alive a little longer. Kate agrees because she wants more time to say goodbye to her mother properly.
Kate has to past seven test but she never knows what the test are or even when they are happening. I didn't even figure out what the test were in the beginning or when she was being tested. I think when I had read about 3/4 of the book I began to figure out what the test were. I began then to think back and I could see how Kate handle different things and situations. When I figured it out I thought that is so cool how the test was written into the story.
This was the first book that I have read about Greek mythology. I have been interested in it for a long time but I don't know very much about it. The first time I saw Thr Goddess Test on someone's blog and read their review I knew I had to have it. I loved how the writer changed all the Gods and Goddess' names.
