Review Detail

Reader reviewed by Bookluver-Carol

If Phoebe Castro can keep her grades up and have another stellar cross-country season, her dream of attending USC with her best friends is only a track scholarship away. Shes made all her plans, so its a complete shock when her mom announces shes marrying a mysterious stranger and moving them half-way around the worldto Greece.

Phoebes stuck on a secret island in the Aegean attending the super-exclusive Academy, where her new stepfather is the headmaster and the kids are anything but your average studentsthey are descendants of the Greek gods, super powers included. Thats right, Greek gods are no myth! If Phoebe thought high school was hard, she knows this is going to be mortal misery.

Securing that scholarship seems like Phoebes only ticket out of Greece, but training and maintaining her grades will be grueling, even without a sabotaging stepsister from Hades and a gorgeous guywhat a god!who just might be her Achilles heel. One thing is for suresummoning the will to win and find her place among the gods could be Phoebes toughest course yet.

I really liked this book. The characters were funny, enjoyable, and had superpowers.It was a quick light read. It did leave a question unanswered like Which god is Nicole a descendant of? Other than the the book was really good.The mythological part didn't seem unrealistic and it was well balanced with Phoebe's gradual acceptance of her new family. I can't wait for the sequel!
