Indestructible women who can fly and bend metal with their minds and others to their will? Of course, I'm going to be intrigued. The execution of the story? Phenomenal!Gary Henry delivers a well-written, power-packed, page-turner, reminiscent of the golden age of comic books. An introduction to two average Midwest small-town women, Megan and Trish, who gain extraordinary powers after volunteering to be test subjects in a medical experiment, launches this action-adventure thrill ride. Aside from walking through a wall of fire, terrifying a man attempting suicide into valuing life, and using special abilities to gain the upper hand with an egotistical spouse and expose his cheating ways -- all in the day of your average superhero-- life is rather normal for Megan and Trish, until an exiled Russian scientist decides to resurrect a dream of world domination. Soon, both women discover they are not invincible, as a deliciously wicked super villainess uses them to bring humanity to its knees.As previously mentioned, American Goddesses is comic bookish. In fact, I visualized the vivid action scenes as comic book panels. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for an entertaining, fast-pace, and quick (quick because it's hard to put down, as the bags under my eyes will attest) action-adventure or superhero read. Keep in mind, however, this novel is meant for an adult audience. The sexual content and violence isn't overly graphic, but enough to give a heads up.
