The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

Every girl who had taken the test has died.
Now it's Kate's turn.
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 succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride and a goddess.
If she fails...

Pro's/Con's
This book was a very good read so lots of positive points from me for this book.
From the first chapter you get sucked in right away. I really felt frustrated after reading the first chapter because I didn't know anything. It made me very curious so I rushed into this book because I wanted to know what they were talking about.
And when I finally found it all out I was just blown away. I loved the story and how the book has used and somewhat changed the story surrounding Persephone and Hades. It's a very interesting way to use it and I also loved all the other gods that were in the story and the whole reasoning for why Henry needs to have a new queen.
And the characters, oh my the characters. They were awesome. I felt really sad and I felt so sorry for Kate for what she has to go through with her mom and also with Henry. She is so strong but she also dares to cry (instead of a lot of other female leads who say ''No, I'm strong I won't cry''). Henry is also lovely, at the end we still don't know that much about it but he seems like a very nice and probably romantic guy.
And the side characters, oh my. They too were awesome. I never expected that the one who has killed all those previous girls was that person! (Indeed, I'm NOT going to spoil this). And then the whole way of how they test Kate and get to know and help her and how they walk around and act and and and. They were all just very awesome. Each one has their own personality and their own role to play in this story, just amazing.

Recommend it?
Yes very much yes! The whole building up of the tension, the mystery and the romance is just perfect! Add some amazing main and side characters and an awesome plot and story and I think that you have a very nice Saturday afternoon read.
