Synopsis (from Goodreads)

Pages: 293
Publisher: Harlequin Teen
Published: 19th of April 2011

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 mesmerising. 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...


What I Have to Say 

This was a really, really good book. It had a great storyline and the characters were interesting and engaging. It was so addictive and especially considering how much the was being kept from Kate, it was really not to keep reading until we found out everything!

Since I came to it with some knowledge of Greek gods, I found it quite hard not to try and work out who was who and look into things that weren't actually there. So I would advise you guys not to think too hard about what you know of Greek gods xD


So I would recommend this book to anyone who like a good YA dark romance. Also people who have an interest in Greek mythology.

  1. I really, really loved this - so much more than I thought I would. The twist on Greek mytholoogy was clever and fun.
