Summary: You’d think as a close descendant of the Greek goddess Nike a girl would have control over her magic powers, but no, not Phoebe. Instead she can’t get a handle on any spell, no matter how small; everything always blows out of control. As a result she’s going to summer camp for extensive training… and if you thought it couldn’t get worse than school in summer, you’d be wrong. It can get much worse. Like a test from the gods coming her way that she has to pass or dire consequences will be had.

Why I started this book:

I started this book because it’s the sequel to Oh. My. Gods which I thought really cute, if a tad rushed. I wasn’t going to pass it up!

Likes:

The setup of the camp: The Dynamotheos Development Camp otherwise known as the Goddess Boot Camp is meant for preteens just coming into their powers. Phoebe as a late bloomer is basically a preteen in terms of control. At camp she’s got to train under her stepsister and her boyfriend’s ex-girlfriend. Ouch!
Stella and Phoebe’s relationship growth as stepsisters and as mentor/trainee.
Phoebe and Griffin train for the Pythian Games trials coming up and while they’re at it there’s some funs thrown in there for runners.
The misconception of what’s going on between Adara and Griffin. If he’s lying about hanging out with her, he must be cheating… right?

Dislikes:

Parts in the middle dragged which hurts a story this concise.
I can’t believe the headmaster of all people was behind…!!! Just to keep Phoebe’s mind off things? Lame.
Phoebe’s test from the gods was a little underwhelming after all the hype.
