Greek Mythology

Hello once again people~!
I'm here at midnight Again.
Well this time it's different, its not about me having insomnia anymore
Its about a book I just read.

The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

I love the mixture of the ancient Greek mythology and the romance that it had.
Instead of being plain old boring History, 
it was also well balanced with the right amount of romance.

What amazes me most is the fact that I actually finished this 293 page book in just
ONE DAY! *insert like a boss gif here*
I feel so proud of myself *laughs
One of the reasons why I read it was because it was about
Hades, The ruler of the Underworld, one of the 14 Gods in Greek Mythology
The was what caught my attention.
And since then, I never regretted reading this book.

Synopsis: 
It's always been just Kate and her mom--and now 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.

If she fails...

Right after I finished reading, I noticed that there's a sequel.

Goddess Interrupted

Oh god I so wanna read it!!
Well I'd post the synopsis for that book as well but then again,
It'd be a huge spoiler for Peiqian since she's gonna read it (:
So yeah, I'll keep that to myself for the time being XD

When I was reading this novel, I actually felt what Kate, the main character
went through at the very beginning.
Cause apparently, as u've read from the synopsis, her mother was dying
The way the author described it was so similar that I nearly teared up in class when I read it.
It reminded me of my mom. Wonder how she's doing.
Did she meet Hades O_O!! Oh god *mindfucks
