Synopsis:

Greer has always known she was privileged, though she had no idea how special her second sight made her, even among her triplet monster-fighting sisters. But when a god starts playing with her mind, can Greer step up in her pretty high heels to prevent anything from stopping her sisters’ mission?

Grace loves her adopted brother, Thane, but now that he’s back and has joined her sisters’ team, it’s clear his past is full of dark mysteries. She wants to trust him, but will Thane’s secret put the girls in even more danger?

Gretchen knows she can rely on her sisters to help her stop the monsters. But after getting to know some of the beasties in the abyss, she finds her role as a huntress comes with more responsibility than she ever imagined. How can she know what her birthright demands of her now?

The girls cannot hesitate as they seek the location of the lost door between the realms, even as monsters and gods descend on San Francisco in battle-ready droves. In this exciting conclusion to the Sweet Venom trilogy, these teenage heirs of Medusa must seek the truth, answer the ancient riddles, and claim their immortal legacy.

Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs

I can't tell you how much I love Greek mythology. I've loved it for years. And Sweet Venom does it justice. It's a new take on the Medusa myth and I LOVE it. Imagine being one of three girls descended from Medusa. You have no idea you're anything but human, until a monster shows up and a girl who looks just like you shows up and kills it. It's awesome!

The three main characters-Gretchen, Grace, and Greer-are very well-written. I found myself being annoyed at Greer for a while, but all is right with the world (more or less) by the end of the book. Gretchen is an awesome, kick-butt girl with a major strength. Grace is a good-girl who I suspect has a slight hero complex. They've all grown up in different situations and it's interesting listening to their points of view. Yes, it's told by three different people.

The plot is a revolving door of monsters, secrets, and questions. I loved it. The action was a bit constant, and I wouldn't mind a bit of down time here and there, it was still good. And I guess I shouldn't be complaining, considering it's middle is interesting and doesn't slow down the plot like it did for another book I read recently. I was slightly annoyed that they found out something in roughly the middle of the book that readers know before reading the first page, but it's all good. With all this in mind, I give it 4.5 stars.
