Gretchen is a huntress, a descendant of Medusa whose job it is to kill the monsters that come into the mortal world. The rules, however, are changing and all the changes seem to coincide with the arrival of Grace, a girl who looks just like Gretchen, in San Francisco. I loved Tera Lynn Childs' revamped mythology of Medusa and her sisters and the work they left their descendants. Sweet Venom is chalked full of characters, information, and mysteries, but it moved a little slow for me. I felt like the whole book was exposition. I am looking forward to having the mysteries solved in the next installment. Fun, fun, fun.....This story was given to me by a colleague. It is the first of a series which I will now have to get the rest of because it was fabulous. If you like the Percy Jackson series then this is good match for you. Grace and her family move to San Francisco. She is trying to get acclimated to her new surroundings when she sees a minotaur. What is even stranger is the girl who come in to fight the monster looks just like her. Then there is Greer. A socialite who also is identical. These three teenage descendants of Medusa, the once-beautiful Gorgon maligned in myth, must reunite and embrace their fates in this unique paranormal world where monsters lurk in plain sight.
