Book Review: The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter (The Goddess Test #1)

The Goddess Test is the debut book of Aimee Carter and the first book of the Goddess Test series.

Book Description
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.
Kate has made a deal with Hades.  She must stay in his mansion for six months and pass seven tests delivered by the Gods.  I made the mistake of assuming these Olympians tests would be of epic proportion.  Instead, I spent the entire book wondering along with Kate how she is even being tested.  The only two tests we are aware she is taking is a pencil and paper test and a test in which Hades gives her the answer.

The Goddess Test is told from Kate's point of view, and she spends the entire book waiting.  I will not be waiting for book #2.

Have you read the Goddess Test?  It is getting great reviews.  I would love to hear your thoughts.
