Welcome! This is The Review, my review on YA books that I have read. I try to Blog on every book I read after I read them and I read as fast as I can but it takes me a while to read a book if it's long. I use books to escape and I hope you can escape into books yourself because it's the best place to be for me, even though most of the books I read are quite dark. Just warning you. Leave comments!

The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

Before I write this review, I am assuring you I have not fallen off the face of the earth or gone fully insane, its just the start of one of the two most important years of my life. GCSE's so I'm sorry if I don't Blog every week but I'll try.



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.

This book was amazing. I know, it started off really sad, I mean really sad. You meet Kate in a tough place, her mother is dying and she knows it. She would do anything to save her, she's looked after her since she was diagnosed with cancer and she knows no other life than without her mother. She moves to Eden for her mothers last wish. At first she gets on the bad side of a girl at school which leads her to meet Henry.
Kates character is incrediblyh loyal to her mother, she would do anything to keep her alive and live with her another day. She doesn't want anyones help in caring for her mother and she hates going to school and leaving her mother with the day nurse. At first when she is living with Henry, she apprehensive to start with but she gets used to it and finally likes it.
So all in all, read this book!
