Book Review - Persephone the Phony by Joan Holab and Suzanne Williams (Goddess Girls 2)

Flower goddess Persephone has always just gone along with the crowd, instead of doing what she really wants.

But when she meets Hades, she finally feels she has found someone she can be herself with.  She likes hanging out with him, despite the fact that the other goddess girls think he's bad news.  Can she get her goddessgirl friends to accept her new godboy bud?

My Review

As I also said in my review of the first book in the series (review can be found here), although this book is aimed at Middle Grade readers,  I am 31 and thoroughly enjoyed this book.  It was so much fun to read.

One thing that is enjoyable about this series so far is that every book is from a different Goddess' perspective.  In the first book, we follow the story of Athena and in this second book we are following Athena's friend Persephone.  So we have the same world but from different perspectives.

This story is mainly a love story between Persephone and Hades.  Persephone who is a goddess who can make flowers come back to life and Hades who is from the underworld.  To Persephone's friends and her mother, Hades is a bad guy and they should protect their friend/daughter.  To Persephone, Hades is someone that she can be herself with.

This is such a fun story fulled with romance and friendship.  Such a fun read...

Book Review - Athena the Brain by Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams (Goddess Girls 1)

Meet the girls of Mount Olympus Academy.

Brainy Athena has never fit in at Triton School, but who would've guessed that's because she's actually a goddess?  Zeus's daughter, to be exact.

So when she's summoned to Mount Olympus Academy, Athena thinks that she might fit in for the first time in her life.  But school on Mount Olympus is not that different from down on earth.  Will Athena be able to deal with Medusa, the baddest mean girl in history.

My Review

This was such a fun book to read.  Even though this book is aimed at Middle Grade readers, I thoroughly enjoyed it and especially loved the banter between the characters, especially when Athena gets to her new school at Mount Olympus. I have to admit that I wanted to join this school and attend some of the lessons such as spell-ology, beauty-ology, hero-ology and especially revenge-ology..... 

Athena is a normal girl in a world where the Gods are held up high on a pedestal and when she discovers that she is, in fact, a goddess, she cannot wait to travel to her new life even though that does mean she will have to leave her best friend behind.

This is such a fun book that I would recommend to not only to middle grade readers but to all.
