    I really tried to finish this book. I liked (sort of) her other goddess books but this one was a chore to read. Apollo was just to bland and whishy washy -Artemis stole the book from him. Who cared about the heroine ( I can’t even remember her name). A waste of money -borrow this or get it from the library.

    I am putting this one on my KEEPER SHELF, for sure. P.C. Cast has done it, again! I can hardly wait for her next one to come out. I find myself rereading each book to discover the nuances and layers that I missed the first time through. This author’s a shining star on her way to the top!

    PC Cast has been a favorite author of mine since Goddess by Mistake. This book, like all the others, is a page turner which can not be put down until finished. A must-read for those who enjoy modern-day Goddess/God romance fantasy.

    I loved this book.

    Recovering from a smoothering, emotionally abusive marriage, interior designer Pamela Grey goes to Las Vegas to meet with a new client and, while wishing for true romance after too many glasses of wine, she accidentally invokes the reluctant aid of the Goddess Artemis.

    The God Apollo, after witnessing the true love between Hades, God of the Underworld, and a mortal woman (from ‘Goddess of Spring’), has decided there is something missing in his life. On a visit to the ‘Kingdom of Las Vegas’, his twin sister Artemis is entangled in a mortal’s wish for romance and he realizes this might be the answer to his quest for something ‘more’.

    They come together both hoping to find a ‘real’ person, a soul mate who can fulfil the secret desire for love inside of each of them.

    ‘Goddess of Light’ highlights a woman’s struggle to overcome her fear of being deceived again by love and a man’s need to be completed by love. Add to this the fun and frolic of Las Vegas, Artemis’s conflict between her selfish nature and love for her brother, E.D. Faust’s (Pamela’s client) strange combination of eccentricities and wisdom, Pamela’s gay assistant’s caustic humour and Dionysus’s resentment at having ‘his’ realm of Las Vegas invaded by the other deities and the story becomes a fast-paced romantic tale of laughter and love entwined with wonder and danger.

    The only thing I didn’t like was the ending. I would have preferred something closer to the ‘Goddess of Spring’s ending although I have to admit Apollo’s sacrifice was in line with what he said he wanted all along.

    Pamela Gray runs a very successful interior design firm in Colorado. So when fantasy writer ED Faust asks her to do the decorating for his new vacation house in Las Vegas, she jumps at the opportunity. Discovering the man wants her to model his house after Caesars’ Palace will be a challenge; but trying to figure out how to change his mind on the grotesque animated water fountain of Bacchus is imperative!

    Apollo has felt all out of sorts ever since his encounter with the mortal Caroline from the Kingdom of Tulsa. His twin Artemis, trying to get him out of his funk, takes him through the newly opened portal to the kingdom of Las Vegas. What should be an enjoyable experience walking amongst mortals turns into a fiasco when Bacchus has several visiting nymphs perform an ancient invocation that actually works! One of the mortals watching the “show” accidentally completes the ritual binding Artemis to her.

    Much to the chagrin of Artemis, completing Pamelas’ hearts desire isn’t as easy as she would like. That, and the interest Apollo has in Pamela is more than just lust…

    I have to say, PC Cast is one of my favorite authors! While she is following the “Goddess” theme, I really feel like each of the stories is very unique and different. The ending of GODDESS OF LIGHT totally caught me off guard and actually worked for me. I also just want to add that never having been to Vegas, I can only imagine, but I really liked the visual description of the Bellagio fountains.

    Pamela has been seriously hurt by her failed marriage. For this reason, she has dedicated herself to work, shutting men out of her life in regards to dating and romance. While Apollo is very charming, their relationship does seem a tad rushed, but magic is involved and he really is a God among men. (sigh!) So all and all, what should be a weekend fling turns into much more when the twins become mortal for a week.

    The relationship between siblings is a tad obsessive, but I enjoyed watching Artemis grow as an individual to where she finally understands what her brother wants: True Love. She goes from being self-absorbed to willing to help him…it totally touched my heart.

    While there really isn’t your traditional “villain”, Bacchus, the troublesome, fun loving god of wine is both the cause for Pamela and Apollo meeting and the trouble between the gods. He is a petulant child that doesn’t want to share (his “kingdom” of Las Vegas) and as a result, we have a very amazing story. In the end, I think I really just feel sorry for him.

    I’m sorry for being cryptic here, but this is a story well worth the read and I recommend GODDESS OF LIGHT.
