Coveted Cover: The Goddess Test

The Goddess Test by Aimée Carter

This book is currently sitting in my review pile and I keep looking it at. It's so pretty! I'm always iffy about people on book covers, especially real people because I feel that it influences what I perceive the characters to look like. I also find them kind of creepy on bookshelves if they're staring at me. But this one doesn't do that to me. Mostly what I like so much are the colours and the gorgeous curls around the edges and text. The tagline of "Become immortal or die trying" is just awesome.

Book blurb:

Every girl who has taken the test has died. Now it's Kate's turn.
When her mother's dying wish is to return to her home town, Kate's willing to do anything to make it come true. Even if it means starting at a new school with no friends - and no hope. Then she meets Henry. Dark, tortured and mesmerising, Henry offers Kate a reprieve. She thinks he's crazy. Yet when he brings a dead girl back to life right in front of Kate's eyes she's not so sure any more... Claiming to be Hades, God of the Underworld, Henry's prepared to make Kate a deal. He'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.
If she succeeds, she'll become a goddess - and Henry's bride.
If she fails she'll never see her mother again...
