My Review:
    I tore through this one, and really enjoyed it. There are great action scenes and even though Kate seems weaker in some ways, the same girl I admired from the first series is still there. She is still as loyal and self-sacrificing as in the first, putting those she loves before herself and not even thinking of her safety.
    The relationship between Kate and Henry is agonizing in this one. I wanted to smack both of them over the head once I finally got to the bottom of their issues. This is where Kate seemed weaker when it came to her confidence towards Henry. I can totally understand where her insecurities come from, but it was still hard to read at times (with the heartbreak, not bad writing.)
    I really like James in this one, and I appreciate how he really looks out for Kate. I kinda want a piece of him for myself ;)    Ava was awesome as ever too. But Persephone was also frustrating in that wonderfully written character you wanna hate kind of way.
    I can't wait for the third one and find out how their stories conclude.

Review: The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

Every girl who has taken the test has died. Now it's Kate's turn. 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...

Series? Yes. This is 1st book. The 2nd Goddess Interrupted releases Feb 2012 




    I didn’t much care for prologue, but the first chapter sucked me right in. I liked her voice and it set up what was going on quickly.
    Kate is a wonderful MC. She is selfless and strong. James is hilarious. Bottle of ketchup indeed. Though I laughed, I can honestly see my little girl doing that… James is awesome in the beginning of the story, he endears himself to me immediately. The support he shows for Kate and how he’s there for her, believing her and by her side. Swoon. 
Henry is mysterious. He never does what I expect, but I come to like him more and more. I don’t know what to think about Ava the whole time. I'd be annoyed and suspicious and then I'd really like her. 
    My goodness this is an emotional book. Not a bad thing, but yeah.  
I haven’t read Greek mythology or books that are based on it before, but this is such a well done idea, and wonderfully executed. 
     Just when I think I know what’s going on in the story—things surprise me. There are twists that I didn’t expect, and I’m constantly like Kate, wanting to know more, and a little weary to find out. 
     This is really seamlessly and beautifully woven story. The ending is wrapped up well, but I’m still anxious for more time with these characters and to get my hands on the next book. 

I'd love to hear what you think of this book and/or my review
