The Goddess Test

De: Aimée Carter

Narrado por: Brittany Pressley

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 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.

I was impressed until the end...

I've always loved romances, and this one was sweet. I forgave the awful representation of the Greek gods, noting it as creative license.

Then I got to the end...

All the redeeming sweetness of the novel was washed away when it was revealed that even the poor girl's mother was in on her mass manipulation. She was basically bread to replace her sister... and put through psychological Hell for it.

The whole series was

I don't know if I can judge the series as accurately as possible due to the fact it is not as original as I would have wanted it to be. I just finish reading a book very similar and much better than this series. I think 3 stars overall for the whole series is right to me personally. Mostly because was slightly disappointed in the series I feel that the author could have offered more and not the in between stories I think it could have ended better. this is not a series I would have wasted a whole credit on I probably would have bought it when it was on sale.

3rd Time Through

I loved it, well performed, and a very interesting storyline. I've read this book at least 2 times myself and now again by listening to audible. I truly love this series.

The First One is the Best One

What did you love best about The Goddess Test?

I listened to the audio book of this one and I quite enjoyed it! This is a fun YA novel that I became instantly hooked on and had to listen to it everywhere-in the car, at work, while doing the dishes, or even just laying in bed when I should have been sleeping.

I really enjoyed the way the author mixed in the Greek mythology and made it more modernized, the story was a really fun tale to follow and I got through the whole thing in only a day or two, which meant I instantly had to eat up all of the other books in the series because I was so involved in the interactions between Kate and all of the other characters that I had to know what happened with them as I went forward.

great story

A well written story. Great voice actress. It became "my dream" to look forward to. So many surprises but it all makes sense. hindsight will make you crazy.
