Grace, Gretchen and Greer are three teenage triplets who had no idea that the others existed until they run into each other in the streets of San Francisco. What's more, Grace and Greer have no clue that they're descendants of Medusa. I liked this book a lot. It was a fun easy read and it was a new take on some of the Greek myths. OK, so it was a little reminiscent of Percy Jackson but, hey, Childs is shining a good light on Medusa. ( )

I hate it when I think a book is just a novel, then get to the end only to find its book 1 in a series.
*grrr*
And, this IS in a series. With that ending? It sure as shit better be.

When I was a kid I wanted to have superpowers. I also wanted to have a twin or even be one of triplets. So this book is right up my alley.

Grace, Gretchen, and Greer never knew each other existed. They lived different lives, far from each other, until coincidence brought them together. Gretchen is the only one who knows their background as descendants of Medusa and monster hunters. But now that the monsters know about them, Grace and Greer need to start fighting, too. ( )

Sweet Venom (Medusa Girls #1) by Tera Lynn Childs is a uniquely different take on mythological creatures and super heroes. Our heroes are descendants of Medusa, although the stories are all wrong about her but this story sets it right, lol. They fight creatures of evil that come to our realm. They hid their try identity with glamour. Only they they can see the true creatures. It is really a fun read. There are boy trouble with this too. The Medusa prophecy also says the girls guardians come in triplets. That is when it really gets wild. There are also other secret things going on. There is lots of action, lots of mini mysteries, fun silly things that keep things going strong, humor, emotions, and it is just a fun action story. Lots of fun all the way around. Going in my favorite folder! Immediately looked up the next two books online at the library so I had those! ( )

Made it about 30% of the way through the book and just couldn't keep going. It was just so juvenile and not in a good way. So much of it felt unrealistic, mainly the characters themselves. It read like a cheesy Buffy episode with a splash of morphed mythology. Not for me.
