Shelfie [June 6]

Shelf #1: Rick Riordan

At 21 books, Rick Riordan is my most read author, and probably most owned as well (do not quote me on that, though. I haven't counted my Harry Potter books in a while). Because of this, he gets an entire shelf dedicated to his work! I was first introduced to his Percy Jackson series through the release of the movie, and it was basically love at first... page. From there, I read the Kane Chronicles, moved on to the Heroes of Olympus, and recently picked up the first book in the Magnus Chase series as well. I have yet to read his newest book, but it is definitely at the top of my TBR!

- Summary - 

Every girl who had 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 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...
