Persephone the Phony (Goddess Girls)

Review: Persephone the Phony – Goddess Girls Series Book #2 – Joan Holub and Suzanne Williams – 2010


Ever wondered what life would have been like for the Gods and Goddesses when they were children? Ever wondered how they received their reputations in history, whether it had anything to do with their upbringings? In Book #2 of the Goddess Girls Series we are presented with Persephone – she has a knack for making nature and restoring it to its beauty. Feeling like she is walked over and never gets to be the “real her”, she escapes to a quiet place – the cemetery. It is here that she meets a gorgeous hunky godboy Hades. He is from the opposite side of the fence from her; they are like from two different worlds. How is it though, that they can get on so well together and Persephone can be herself around him. We soon read as the friendship between Hades and Persephone starts to Blossom and the way her friends and other’s start interfering. Why can’t they just be happy for Persephone? As the novel gets on we see that as a young boy that Hades wasn’t all that bad and that maybe he is a good match for Persephone – well for now anyway as they are only still in School. With the school dance nearing, will Persephone have a date with Hades or will he be just like her friends say he is and let her down and live up to his reputation? . Find out in this awesome Children’s series that girls aged 9-12+ will enjoy and I can’t wait to read more adventures of the Goddess Girls- Hoping for some tales of Aphrodite, Artemis and Pandora.

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
