The Goddess Test - Aim�e Carter

In a modern-day take on the myth of Persephone, 18-year-old Kate Winters is thrust into a mythical world, where she must pass seven impossible tests and outsmart a spiteful god in order to save the life of not just her mother but of her captor as well. \nWhen Kate agrees to take the Goddess Test, she doesn't know every girl who has taken it has died... \nIt's always been just Kate and her mom, but now her mother is dying. Her last wish is 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. \n \nThen 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. \n \nKate is sure he's crazy--until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems amazingly possible. If she succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride--and a goddess. But what Kate doesn't know is that no one has ever passed the Goddess Test. \n \nBooks and novellas in the Goddess Test series: \n \nThe Goddess Test \nThe Goddess Hunt (ebook novella) \nGoddess Interrupted \nThe Goddess Queen (ebook novella)* \nThe Lovestruck Goddess (ebook novella)* \nGoddess of the Underworld (ebook novella)* \nGod of Thieves (ebook novella)* \nGod of Darkness (ebook novella)* \nThe Goddess Inheritance \n \n* Also available in print in The Goddess Legacy anthology\n
