The synopsis: Every girl who has taken the test has failed. Now it's Kate's turn.
It's always been just Kate and her mom--and now 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.
If she fails...
My thoughts: So obviously even though I swore the ghostly stuff didn't do it for me, YA proved me wrong on that. I've always been fascinated by ghosts and I found a great quenching in the YA genre. Another thing I've always been intrigued by is Greek mythology. Seriously, I used to sit in front of WGN on Saturdays to watch Xena and Hercules (I'm not proud of this). So this one intrigued me right off the bat, especially with this gorgeous cover. Talk about a new spin. What could have gone seriously wrong was brilliantly written and navigated by Aimee Carter. Nothing about this was predictable for me, and while there were a couple of parts I felt were a little too loose-ended, when I found out it was the first in a series, I was super amped. Goddess Interrupted will be released in March.
