Oh My Gods Tera Lynn Childs Books

now I read her mermaid series first, which I think was one of the best series I have read in a long time! forgive my fins was epic and compling, I couldn't put the books down, and feel in love with the characters. I also love her Medusa series,( I love mermaids, but MEDUSA is my secret love , not so secret to those who know me!) it was also amazing and breathtaking, now I love greek myth. so I thought I will give this a try..... I have to wonder if this was her first book series.. it's good don't get me wrong. but the writing is SO different then her other novels that I own. the story is in pieces .. you jump from one scene to the next, not knowing how you got there , or what happened?! I was so lost for a while. you see the story through young Phoebe's eyes, she is a runner and at the last meet of the season, she is told by her mother they are moving to an island in Greece with the new husband.?! what! of course Phoebe is totally shocked and mad, what teenager or really person wouldn't be? but whats on this island is more then she could ever dream up... the island is the home of the children of the greek gods! all of them are some form of Demgod! which of course I think of Camp half blood. but this is more of a School and learning more like camp Jupiter for those of you who are farther in the percy Jackson books. :) so far through it's not bad.. but totally different writing like I said. `

Update 3/15/16 :
I had this on kindle. I brought it on paperback to go with the rest of her work that I have. But I am pretty sure I ordered it new and I got a really used copy. Hoping it can be fixed.

Oh My Gods Tera Lynn Childs Books Reviews

Do you love reading novels where the characters are derived from Greek Gods and Goddesses? Series like Rick Riordan's Percy Jackson or Jennifer Estep's Mythos Academy series ? More Mythos than Percy Jackson, the Oh My Gods series starts when Phoebe's dad dies and then six months later her mum goes over to Greece to meet her Dad's family only to come back to the states with some major news. She is getting married and they are moving to an island in Greece - one that is three hours away by ferry from the nearest civilisation. Even worse the island holds secrets - the island in fact houses all the descendants from the Greek Gods and Goddesses. Now Phoebe has to attend school with all these descedants who harness magical powers . Can Phoebe cope with being the odd one out or will her normal status find her exiled from the school cliques? What will happen though when strange things start happening that nobody can explain ? Has the island done something to Phoebe ? Was her dad's greek side hiding a deep dark secret relating to the Gods?
Find out all this and more in Oh My Gods by Tera Lynn Childs - Book #1 in this amazing new series which has a spin on Greek Mythology.
Now that Percy Jackson's has brought the Greek Gods to the forefront, Oh. My. Gods., by Tera Lynn Childs, breaks out with a fun tale about kids who are direct descendants of the Gods. The Gods themselves don't really make an appearance, but their mythology and influence are all over this cute tale.

Phoebe Castro is a cross country runner whose skill is about to earn her a full scholarship to USC. Other than running and her two closest friends, Phoebe doesn't worry about much else in the world. When her mother returns from Greece for a family reunion for her husband who died years earlier, she has some news that will change Phoebe's life forever she is engaged and they are all moving to a tiny island in Greece that is only accessible by private boat! Phoebe is devastated to leave California, but doesn't have much choice as the wedding and move are only weeks away.

When she gets to Serfopoula, her new stepfather tells her there is more to this island than just serious isolation. The single school on the island is a school for direct descendants of the Gods, like her stepfather. At first Phoebe thinks he and her mother have lost their minds, but when her new evil stepsister materializes on the boat as they approach the island, she has no choice but to accept the news. Now Phoebe is not only the new girl, she is the new girl AND the only non-descendant at the whole school. When she gets caught in the middle of a love triangle that involves her scheming stepsister and an evil cheerleader-type, she finds herself falling for the hunk of the school- the very same guy her friends warn her to stay way from. Now she has to figure out whether he really is a nice guy, or really a jerk, work her butt off to make the cross-country team that is full of descendants of Gods, and get to the truth about her father and his mysterious death. While it isn't the senior year Phoebe originally wanted, it is one she can't deny has changed her life!

This is a fun, goofy story that gives you the typical high school dramas laced with Greek mythology- very interesting. The mythology is only superficial, though, and is not as comprehensive as in Percy Jackson. I liked that Phoebe is an athlete and determined to make the team despite being out of her league as the only person without God qualities and talents. She is a strong main character, but she can throw some serious temper tantrums when she wants to!

The writing level and content would probably be appropriate for a 6-10 grade girl, depending on her skill level. I don't imagine this book would appeal to many boys (the cover alone would deter them). It would be a great story for a socialite girl who wants to read about social situations. There is a decent amount of boy meets girl going on that would appeal to that type of reader. There is also a sequel out I plan to pick up and save for a time when I need some cute, simple, uncomplicated reading!
