"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."
The Goddess Test? Baca judulnya aja udah langsung bikin tertarik ditambah baca sinopsisnya yang kayaknya lumayan seru. Dan pas baca nama Hades langsung, "Another Nico!" hehe. Dari Maret aku nungguin buku ini keluar sampai akhirnya download ebooknya gara-gara permintaan ARC ke NetGalley nggak disetujuin-_-
Nggak tahu kenapa, tapi buku ini ngingetin aku sama Beauty and The Beast. Kate yang orangnya pemaaf & baik banget ke siapa aja walaupun orang itu jahat sama dia, apalagi sama ibunya. Henry yang terkesan introvert, dingin tapi aslinya baik. Ditambah Kate yang dipaksa tinggal di kastilnya Henry (yang katanya Elysium).
Alurnya lumayan cepet & susah ditebak, love story nya juga bagus, nggak lebay. The Olympians, yang menurutku kemuculan mereka disini jadi agak aneh gara-gara wujud modernnya. Cocok buat yang lagi males baca buku yang konflik nya rumit. Dan yang jelas aku nggak sabar nungguin sequelnya Goddess Interrupted.
