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 Going into GODDESS BOOT CAMP, I felt pretty optimistic, because I had enjoyed the first in the series.
In this novel, Pheobe, the main character, has already found out that she is a descendant of the Goddess Nike. And unlike the other students at her school, she hasn't been training or learning how to control her powers her whole life, so things are pretty complicated for her. The original characters from the first novel are reintroduced in the second, Pheobe, Nicole, Troy, Griffin This second time around, I truly felt like I knew the characters, which is good.
And I still love Griffin, terribly. One of the conflicts involving Griffin in this novel made me question him a little bit, but in the end, my feelings never changed towards him. I did, however, come to like Stella, Pheobe's stepsister, and Adara, Griffin's ex-girlfriend. The only minor disappointment I had was that it got a little boring at some points and I felt like skipping parts, but I didn't, and stuck it out.
In the end, I'm glad I didn't skip sections, because they were important later in the story and it would've been confusing if I were to do so. I do have to say, though, that I think I liked the prequel better. Oct 09, Hannah rated it it was amazing.

The characters in this book were very well developed in the way of you could relate to how they had some social problems inside and outside their relationships that they had to deal with. Also you relate to how Phoebe had to live up to everyone else's expectations and do what they thought was best for her and not what she wanted to do. I would recommend this book to those of who are into the mythology of gods and goddesses. Aug 18, Anna Weaver rated it it was amazing. I really enjoyed reading this book about a goddess book camp. The main character, phoebe, a teenage who recently discovers she's a descendant of Nike.
When she finds her crazy power, she also finds out she has some major responsibilities. I can relate to her because she's just a teenager going through a rough patch in her life that will end in great success. The book was light and enjoyable while also throwing in action packed mystery. The quotes relates to the essential question, "how do we form and shape identities? He counselor is a girl her age who tries to steal her boyfriend. Some of the girls at boot camp make sure she leaves with no friends. It doesn't stop phoebe that girls don't like her.
She learns to control her power and solves the mystery at the camp. Being the oldest girl at boot camp is tough in the beginning but she ends of being a hero. She definitely feels the victory inside her. I would definitely recommend this book to teenage girls. It's a book about a storing female figure who fights to become great.
Girls in middle and high school would definitely,enjoy this book.

I found that this book was more for a pre-teen because I found this kind of childish, but I did like it because of the mystical, magical, power, part of it.

I like it because it makes me feel smaller again, but I mainly liked it because of the godly part of it. I didn't also like it because I also felt like this book was too childish for me. I just felt like I connected with this book, but not certain parts, and it was sort of hard for me to visualize things, but overall aside from that, I liked it.

Now that Phoebe knows that the goddess Nike is her great-grandmother, she has to figure out how to cope and control her super powers as being so close in ancestry to a goddess makes her stronger than most of the classmates that mocked her in the last series for being merely human. The joke's on them as hijinks ensue whenever Phoebe loses control of her powers often but then Phoebe is forced to attend Goddess Boot Camp with kids nearly half her age and counselors who are fellow classmates.
Why Now that Phoebe knows that the goddess Nike is her great-grandmother, she has to figure out how to cope and control her super powers as being so close in ancestry to a goddess makes her stronger than most of the classmates that mocked her in the last series for being merely human. Why is she enduring this humiliation? Because at the end of the summer, the gods have decided to test her control of her powers and failing that test could mean dire consequences. But first, Phoebe must deal with juggling camp, running and training for the demigod version of the Olympics, figuring out if Griffin is cheating on her with his ex and coming to terms with her father's death.
Oh and her weird stepfather and slightly less evil stepsister. This sequel is not as good or tight as the first book it follows but it is still quite entertaining as Phoebe truly grows up. Aug 02, Lindsay rated it really liked it.
See a Problem?
Phoebe made the team and got the man of her dreams, but things are far from perfect. Since Nike's her great-grandmother, her powers are very strong and a little okay, a lot out of control. The gods aren't happy about this and decide to test her. The problem is that she doesn't know when or where this test will be. Damien enrolls her in Goddess Boot Camp where she's stuck with Stella, Adara, and a herd of year-olds all day.
Along with that, she is training for the Pythian Games. And is it just her imagination or is Griffin spending a lot of time with his ex? With all this stress, what's a goddess to do? This book is just as good as the first. I love the character and relationship development in Phoebe and Stella. The characters seem like real people, with worries and emotions. They all have secrets, but they're believable, not over-the-top like in other teen fiction. This book tied up several ends, but left some undone still so the series can continue. May 27, Sunaina rated it it was ok. This book was not for me I read it only because I'd read the first one and even that wasn't something I usually like.
Sure, people who like easy reads with a bit of magic will find it a good read but it didn't do it for me. It is not to say that the book was "OK" that I rated it two. The author is good and it has magic and 'Greek' content!!!

Although i have to say the conversations between characters were quite funny and entertaining. Phoebe was a strong character whose passion for running mustn't go unnoticed. But like I said it'd be a fast read for young people.

Add in a dash of The Clique mentality and fashion awareness for some weird reason. Mix altogether and over-bake to get another story about the children of Greek god that never got past two novels because literally why does this exist.

The author infuses such great humor into this series that I laughed out loud again and again. The novel also provides great storylines about family, relationships, and being true to yourself and following your dreams.
Sad to see Phoebe's story end but I thoroughly enjoyed the ride! Feb 13, Jennifer rated it really liked it Shelves: Wish there were more of these cute books.

Sep 18, BJ Terry rated it it was ok Shelves: This book made me remember why I stopped reading these lame and predictable YA novels. I honestly don't remember why I liked the first book so much, then again I was still in high school and was into that cheesy shit. Goddess Boot Camp had obnoxious characters, a boring storyline, with predictable and juvenile writing.
Now, Adara annoyed me. Typical scorned ex who can't let go.

I understood Phoebe's lack of trust towards Griffin when he kept lying to her and she kept catching him. But she wa This book made me remember why I stopped reading these lame and predictable YA novels. But she was so dramatic and went about it all wrong every time. And their breakup was dumb. Also, Damien's approach to revealing what happened to Phoebe's father was unnecessary. So with all that said, if I were still a teenager in high school and read this book I'd have probably loved it.
However, its been years since I read Oh My Gods and my reading choices have drastically progressed since then so picking up where that book left off was a waste of time.

But I desperately needed somethin to read and my library was selling it for a dollar. And that's exactly how much this story was worth.

Aug 23, Amber rated it liked it Shelves: After the first installment in this series, I was relatively pleased even though it was a fluffy read. This time I was hoping Phoebe would be tested a little more and stretched a little too thin. After all, I really enjoyed Phoebe as a character. Unfortunately, my hopes were not realized and really dampened my view on this book. This time around we get an even stronger Phoebe because she's now knows she's a descendant of a Goddess.
She needs to control her powers and this novel focuses primarily After the first installment in this series, I was relatively pleased even though it was a fluffy read. She needs to control her powers and this novel focuses primarily on that. While I liked the Goddess boot camp plot, I really wanted to see Phoebe tested a little more. She receives these messages throughout the story and I was hoping they'd be a little more sinister than they ended up being. Now that Phoebe has this amazing power, I wanted to see a darker side to them, like a secret Hades club or something.
I wanted Phoebe to have to learn to kick a little butt. Sadly though, this series lacks a good antagonist which is what I was missing. We have Adara but she's just your typical mean girl and we have Stella who turns out to be Phoebe's friend. I really didn't want to see this novel tied up into a neat little bow like the last one where Phoebe got all she wanted It's sort of dragged out in the first book so I thought we'd get it in this one but it is still left unanswered.
I was also never a big fan of Griffin in the first novel and he's back for this one keeping secrets. I thought he handled things really poorly. I hate when the main character actually has grounds to feel mad and then pushes aside those feelings for the boy with the pretty fill-in-the-blank and just apologizes.
