I truly hope that you are all fond of Greek mythology, because as I mentioned in my previous post, I am slightly obsessed. The Goddess Test is the first book in a series of four and I read it originally back in January. However it took me a little while to acquire the funds to buy the rest. But alas, I went without food for the week (joking, kinda) and I am now ready to go!
Before though, I wanted to read the first book again. Normally when it hasn't been too long between them, I won't bother rereading, but the book is quite an easy read and I thought 'the hell with it, why not?' Here I am two days later.
The story is about Katherine Winters, better known as Kate who moves to Eden with her terminally ill mother. She meets a few of the locals but isn't planning on sticking around when her mother passes. However, one night in the deep dark forest, some heckers shiznick which will have you stopping and rereading multiple times happens and Kate struggles to comprehend it with the help of her new friends Ava and James. Pretty much, Henry (her mysterious saviour) tells her that he would like for her to become his Persephone (the chick responsible for the season change who was 'Hades' wife for six months of the year). Kate obviously checks him as crazy and kindly declines his offer, but what would you know... Kate is soon in the running to become Queen of the Underworld, Henry's wife and Immortal with only a bunch of 'tests' standing in her way. But does she truly want it and Henry? I guess you'll have to read the series and find out. Lalalave this book and cannot wait to read the rest, stay tuned!! :D
Rate: 8/10

Made Me Giggle: "I need to---change," I said dumbly, clutching my dress to my front.
"I won't look."
He settled back in my bed and opened his book once more, making it clear he wasn't going to leave anytime soon.
