Pheobe's having problems controlling her magical powers. Often, what she's thinking transforms in her everyday life.

The gods aren't happy. She's scared they'll kill her on the spot (after what happened with her father).

Damian enrolled her in Goddess Boot Camp before heading on his honeymoon. He forgot to tell her the average age of the campers before he left. Now, Pheobe's desperately trying to keep her powers under control in front of a bunch of 10-year-olds.

She's also worried about passing a test from the gods, a possible cheating boyfriend, and her snarky stepsister.

The addition of Pheobe's powers to the story adds humor as she struggles to control them. The sequel to OH. MY. GODS. continues its delightful magical, mythological tale. ( )

goddess boot camp carries on with the tradition of fluffy cuteness in oh. my. gods., dangling Greek mythology in front of me but it still dangles from afar. No high school frivolities that I love so much; instead, this takes place during summer break with fewer character appearances. The core group is present, but we barely see Phoebe's friends as we do her enemies (or not-so-favorite people). Can I mention that I cried like a silly schoolgirl when Griffin and Phoebe duked it out? :( I hate misunderstandings! They suck!

I thought it was interesting to read about the different godly powers that Phoebe had to master and how exactly these were executed to test her skills. The boot camp final skills test was a little hard to follow at times, but it was okay as far as tests can go for main characters. :) Especially since goddess boot camp does not promise anything but cuteness!

I wish there had been a tiny bit more story with Phoebe's father - goddess boot camp definitely opens a whole new can of worms in regards to this, but the ending totally leaves you hanging! It makes me wonder, if there is a 3rd book, if the impossible could happen. Then again, this is more fluffy than serious and the impossible would fall under the not-so-cute but it may make the series even more mythologically amazing! ( )

Phoebe has adjusted to the knowledge that she's a descendant of the Greek goddess Nike, a hematheos to be exact. She's settled in at school on the remote Serfopoula Island, and is training for the trials of the Pythian Games. However, there is still one thing Phoebe doesn't have a handle on and that's her powers. Her stepfather (and headmaster) enrolls her in a summer Dynamotheos Devlelopment Camp, known as Goddess Boot Camp, to help her learn how to control her powers and emotions. Camp is a trial of its' own, with new step-sister Stella in charge, along with Griffin's former girlfriend, Adara. Phoebe will have to pass the ultimate test, or risk being smoted by the gods. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0525421343, Hardcover)

Phoebe, who recently discovered she’s a descendant of Nike (the goddess, not the shoe), is finding that supernatural powers come with a crazy learning curve. Her stepfather, headmaster of the Academy for descendants of the Greek gods, has enrolled her at Dynamotheos Development Camp—aka Goddess Boot Camp—with a bunch of ten-year-olds for the summer. Embarrassing as that is, hopefully it’ll help her gain control over her powers in time to pass the test of the gods, continue training hard enough to qualify for the Pythian Games, and enjoy her godly boyfriend, Griffin, all while avoiding the ultimate mistake of accidentally misusing powers.

It’s another fast-paced myth-inspired heroine’s quest that’s sure to bring out the goddess in anyone.
