But that may also be due to my fairly broad knowledge of Greek Mythology.ĭespite this, I really enjoyed reading The Goddess Test. Once I knew what the glossary at the back of the book told me, the whole affair was a tad on the predictable side. This is one of those books where you really shouldn't look at the last few pages – a very bad habit of mine – as I rather spoiled the punchline for myself. She isn't ready to say goodbye to her mother yet. But with Henry keeping her mother alive for as long as Kate is in the running, Kate has no option but to succeed. Not only that, Kate has to pass seven tests to qualify for marriage, and the girls who have tried before her have all failed – or died. When Kate enters into an agreement with Henry to save someone's life, she doesn't realise she's agreeing to marry him. Kate knows such things are impossible, but the idea infects her – for what if Henry could save her mother? Dark, mysterious Henry, who seems to be able to bring people back to life. She doesn't want to make friends – she's here for her mum and nothing else – so she's not very interested when popular girl Ava, with her jock boyfriend Dylan, invites her to a party.īut against her better nature, Kate goes, and sees something that changes everything. When Kate's mother makes a dying wish to return to her home town, Eden, Kate drops what's left of her life and goes with her.

A solid introduction to a series that promises bigger and better things in future instalments.

A well paced, atmospheric read with interesting and colourful characters. Summary: An original take on the Paranormal Romance genre.
