The Goddess Test by Aimée Carter
Publication Date: April 19th 2011
From Goodreads
It's always been just Kate and her mom--and now 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.
If she fails...
I love love love the sound of this book! Greek Mythology seems to be the new thing this year in YA fiction and it’s a subject that has always interested me. The covers gorgeous and it has praise from Cassandra Clare, I’m pining on this book so hard right now and although Aprils not long it still seems like such a wait. So excited for this one!
