Oh. My. Gods. (Oh. My. Gods., #1)

by Tera Lynn Childs

What if the greek gods were more than myth?

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. She’s made all her plans, so it’s a complete shock when her mom announces she’s marrying a mysterious stranger and moving them half-way around the world—to Greece.

What if their descendants lived among us?

Phoebe’s 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 students—they are descendants of the Greek gods, super powers included. That’s right, Greek gods are no myth! If Phoebe thought high school was hard, she knows this is going to be mortal misery.

What if you had to go to high school with them?

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

The Greek gods get a makeover in this romantic odyssey of mythic proportion.

I really liked this book ! The story is kinder, softer then most books I've read lately, but that makes it a nice break :) It's a light read, but I loved the part with all the descendants from Greek gods ! How every descendant has it's own characters, depending on it's ancestors. Making the Hades kids into goths ^^ the Ares kids into the jocks and cheerleaders, the Hera and Zeus kids into the popular crowd. The Poseidon kids into brainless sunbaders ^^ I loved it !
