The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

5 out of 5 stars go to this beautifully written book.  I enjoy Mythology and Aimee Carter’s creative spin was fun and spirited.  I loved this book and will recommend it as a Must Read of 2011!  I love that this book captivated me in so many categories.  Romance…check! Mystery…check!  Drama…check!  Paranormal….check!

Eighteen year old Kate Winters is moving back to where her mother grew up.  Not to be with extended family and not due to a new job either.  They move back to Eden, Michigan from New York because Diane Winters, Kate’s mother is nearing the end of a four year fight with cancer.  Kate has been the primary care taker during her mother’s illness and didn’t finish her senior year of High School.  She is enrolled to finish her last year at Eden High School and she isn’t looking to make any new friends.  She just wants to take care of her mother and not miss a moment with her while she is still alive. 

She however, does make the acquaintance of a few students and slowly breaks down some walls to let them in, as per her mother’s wishes.  Ava it seems is only interested in keeping her boyfriends eyes off of Kate.  So she thinks keeping her enemies close is the best bet. James is a shy, nerdy boy who seems to think Kate is pretty great.  Kate makes it clear to both James and Ava that she does not date!

And then she meets Henry.  Gorgeous, mysterious Henry.

Tragedy strikes…choices are made…and the story unfolds from there. 

I am clearly not a writer.  I don’t claim to be one. There is no review good enough to describe this fresh new story.  I am so grateful that there will be a sequel because I just have to have more.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC opportunity.  This one will be on my bookshelf for sure once it comes out!
