Goddesses Inc

by Autumn Bardot

Overview

The goddess life is fabulous...until you're fired!

A laugh out loud read about friendship, love, hot guys, and what matters most.

Four ex-goddesses struggle to find friendship, love, and purpose. Except mortals get in the way. Sexy mortals. Obnoxious mortals. And dangerous ones.

Mnem has everything. A glamorous lifestyle, beauty, family, and immortality. But she doesn't have a platform. Or followers. Or relevance. Which is why Mnemosyne, goddess of remembrance and mother of the nine muses, is fired. She isn't the only one.

Three other goddesses from different cultures are also up a mortal creek without a divine paddle. Now they must build a life-a real one.

Although their divinity is gone, their soul and courage remain. But mortal life is so frustrating! Before they have a chance to get a handle on the whole mortality thing, their lives take an unexpected turn with an epic decision. One with deadly consequences.

Four goddesses struggle with irrelevance in the modern world in Bardot’s light supernatural romance.

Goddesses the world over are employed by Shee, the all-knowing CEO of a company called FEM (which stands for Female Energy Macrocosm). FEM is downsizing and eliminating the positions of some goddesses who are no longer worshipped or acknowledged. Mnemosyne, the Greek goddess of memory and history and mother to the nine Muses, didn’t expect to be one of them. Nor is she prepared for the additional penalty—she’s no longer immortal and will age like everyone else. Now that she has to find a new job, she wonders if her sexy boyfriend, Sen. Miguel Flores of California, will still find her interesting. What will she talk to her daughters about? Mnem isn’t alone, however. Shee has also fired Inna, the Nigerian goddess of bounty; Axtis, the Persian goddess of peace; and Phra Naret, the Thai goddess of good fortune. Can this newly mortal quartet move from superficial perfection to real-life relationships? Will they be able to find love, open a business, and maybe foil some art forgers in the process? Bardot presents a tale in which Clash of the Titansmeets Sex and the City. The romance and sex in this frothy novel occur in a modern world where the Covid-19 pandemic never happened and financial woes that come with actual job loss are merely glossed over. However, its critique of social media is timely and deepens the story, as does the concept of the women’s startup, Goddesses Inc., an online store devoted to ethically sourced goods. The main characters here, while sometimes overly needy, aren’t emotionally stagnant, and their decisions—to expose a crime, among other things—all make clear sense. Although the conclusion is oddly rushed, it still packs a punch.

A fizzy romp best read while draped in a toga, cosmo in hand.
