 EVERY GIRL WHO HAS TAKEN THE TEST HAS DIED.
NOW IT'S KATE'S TURN.
 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 that 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 really didn't think that this book would turn out to be much after reading the first like two chapters, but boy was I wrong! This book was AWESOME!! I really loved it haven't had a book like this in a while. I love Greek mythology and this puts a whole new twist on traditional mythology. Giving the Gods and Goddesses a different twist to their personalities was a new concept, though it didn't follow all the myths of ancient Greece it was written wonderfully. It gave new insight to myths that I would never have considered. Like them caring for mortals and actually for once getting along. Though it may have seemed a little far fetched, I mean hey they are Gods and Goddesses who knows what goes on in their minds they constantly change their minds on their whims at the time. I definitely recommend this book to anyone likes mythology. The twist and turns in this book will keep you asking, what could possibly come next? And will keep you cheering for the happy ending that they deserve after it all. I can't wait for the sequel to come out I hope that it is just as good as the original.
