An entrancing novel about a wellness retreat on a remote Greek island hosted by a celebrity guru who is more than meets the eye.

On a flight to New York at the end of her first book tour, up-and-coming writer Agnes Oliver meets Jack Verity, the handsome filmmaker and ex-husband of Geia Stone, a famous actress turned wellness guru, whose popular lifestyle brand Goddess™ promotes controversial therapies and expensive beauty tools in the name of self-care and inner nourishment. Jack invites Agnes to a party in the Hamptons, where she meets Geia and finds herself welcomed into the guru's inner circle.

That summer, Geia arranges for Agnes to attend the Goddess™ Summit, an exclusive wellness retreat held on a remote Greek island. There, Agnes observes many strange happenings she can't explain, as one by one the other guests seem to fall under the spell of their enchanting host. When Agnes begins to discover who Geia really is, she realizes it's up to her to protect the other women at the summit from an unexpected and unwelcome fate.

A propulsive and captivating story about beauty and influence, self-doubt and seduction, Goddess is an electrifying new novel from a talented writer to watch.

      An unhappy family life left Agnes with a close connection to nature, her refuge, and with an innate distrust of her own worth. When her debut novel about the natural world becomes a runaway success, she has a hard time adjusting to the positive feedback, much less the attention of Jack, the famous ex-husband of style icon Geia. While visiting Geia and Jack's still-shared home, Agnes notices things about Geia that she just can't explain, and she surprises herself by accepting Geia's invitation to attend her Goddess(TM) wellness retreat on a small Greek island to write about it. At the retreat with dozens of Geia's devotees, odd occurrences continue to pile up, and Agnes is determined to find out why. The story line is engaging, and the pace of the exposition is well timed. While the big reveal feels a bit flat, Agnes is a relatable character, and her growth is honest and gratifying. For readers who enjoy well-described characters and setting, a female protagonist who gains confidence in herself, and a little magical realism to boot.
