The ending of this book! OHMYGAWD! I was like "yes! yes! yes!" and then that part, in the climax where he's all "trust me." At the top of a giant freaking building. I about died. Great choice. Great book. :p<br /><br />♥ Trish<br /><a href="http://justayagirl.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Just a YA Girl</a>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-42258686782715305982011-07-19T11:02:13.517-04:002011-07-19T11:02:13.517-04:00Kathy: Aww thanks! :) Happy reading.

Thanks!<br /><br />Brodie: YES. DARK ANGEL! That is the one I was thinking of! Wow, 3 different covers? That must be pretty cool for the model LOL.<br /><br />It always makes me SO NERVOUS when people say stuff like that to me. If you hate it, will you hate me automatically???

I hadn't really been planning on reading this, but you've convinced me otherwise. And a 'perfect surprise ending' instantly hooks me in too!<br /><br />Oh, yeah, the Aussie cover of The Goddess Test is the same but the girl has a red dress. And she's also used on Dark Angel by Eden Maguire.Brodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16389909407256668662noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-12556542871847605202011-07-18T21:15:43.988-04:002011-07-18T21:15:43.988-04:00I don't usually read historical fiction (um, v...I don't usually read historical fiction (um, virtually none -- I'm more into urban fantasy and such), but I really like the concept of visions put into the historical setting. I'd definitely read this for that reason.

Hopefully you'll get a chance to read it soon!<br /><br />Liz: Maybe it'll be better because of that paranormal aspect? OOOH. That's weird - I liked the US cover for The Goddess Test! Not that I have a problem with the girl/dress or anything.<br /><br />Alyssa: I should make a checklist like that for the books I read... I know! I always feel kind of cheated when I see the same picture on two different covers (like North of Beautiful and Evermore, I think?).Soniahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14180755111437637132noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1077975888449897657.post-37352459240148292502011-07-18T13:42:53.988-04:002011-07-18T13:42:53.988-04:00Two swoon-worthy guys and a surprise ending.

I think it's a little disappointing that they are the same - exactly - other than the dress.

I might have to give it a go and see what happens. And cover-wise - the one with the red dress is the Australian version of The Goddess Test (I'm pretty sure, I think Brodie got it for review). Anyway, I love both covers! :P Thanks for the review :)Liz.
