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.

In the follow up novel to OH. MY. GODS., seventeen-year-old Phoebe Petrolas, a descendent of the Greek goddess Nike, can't seem to control her newly discovered super powers. When the Gods decide she will need to face a test on the Summer Solstice, her stepfather enrolls her in Goddess Boot Camp, a training ground for those who have not yet mastered their powers.
It seems like a lousy way to spend two weeks and only gets worse when on the first day of camp Phoebe learns the other campers are much younger than her, ten- to twelve- years old and the camp counselors are her foils: Stella, her stepsister and Adara, her boyfriend's ex. When a family secret surrounding Phoebe's real father seems like it might be revealed, Phoebe's emotional stress increases to Olympic proportions. Now she needs to keep it together, so she can learn to manage her powers as the clock ticks toward her big test day.
Tera Lynn Childs has written a light and funny book with an imaginative world based on the island where descendants of the gods train and go to school. GODDESS BOOT CAMP has all the typical high school dramas--cliques, boyfriends and such--with an otherworldly twist.

Was that all?

This story is a little less captivating than Oh. My. Gods.. Phoebe's use of her awakening powers were hilarious (like teleporting her stepfather in the middle of the ocean when she thinks of a surfer), but that was the highlight. Not that the rest was hard to read or bad, I just found it less interesting. Phoebe, for example, thought too much. Her fantasy ran wild and with it her powers. If you know this can happen, you'd at least try to to relax, won't you? Besides, it got pretty boring to read about all the horrible things her mind comes up with.
The ending was a huge disappointment. I didn't feel like the story actually ended. It was over in a flash and a bit of an anticlimax. Maybe there will be another book? I hope so, because there are so many things I'd like to know, such as from which God was Nicole's ancestor? Really frustrating!
Conclusion: 3 stars. This book just didn't have the mix of humor, gods and adventure as the first book. Even though there were some fun parts, which made me laugh out loud, most of it was a little boring to read.

Good Follow-Up
2 Oct 2010
By Rachel Rivera
- Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This is the second book in Oh. My. Gods. Series. If you have not read the first in this series, this review might have spoilers. If you have not read the first book in this series...
PJVs QUICKIE POV: Keeping in line with the first novel, Goddess Boot Camp is a good follow-up. Just as the title and cover portray this is a candy-sweet YA full of happy "be-true-to-yourself" messages and kissy-kissy feel goodness. A charming novel to pass the time, it is highly entertaining and a book I would pass along to a friend.
REVIEW: Phoebe is still basking in the after-glow of her new found relationship with Griffin and the discovery that she is Nike's descendant and in possession of a certain set of godly powers. Mastering those powers is another problem in and of itself, especially when her emotions run high. When she accidentally floods her room, dresses her step-sister in birthday cake attire - and forces the entire school to flee a pack of lions the gods decide to intervene. Phoebe needs to master her powers, because she will be tested by the gods - and failure is not an option.
How to master those powers? Goddess Boot Camp of course.
I actually think I liked this one better than the first one. The characters seemed to mature a bit, and with the culmination of the "discovery" out of the way - and now the impeding test on the horizon it gave a focus, instead of a mystery. There were a few side-plotted mysteries in this, but they were vague enough that I didn't guess them and made sense once they were revealed. Well 1 out of 2 did. I still never understood the whole Griffin/Adara thing. What exactly was going on there??
Like the first, this one is lightly, entertaining, but lacked a depth that I usually like in my novels. Some would say this was the YA voice, but I've read many a YA novel that had a sugar-sweet tone, but had an intensity of plot and depth of character that grounded it and made it a satisfying read. This series, doesn't have that depth.
RECOMMENDATIONS: Fans of the lighter side of the paranormal should really enjoy. I place this one in the category with books like I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You & As You Wish.
