Gretchen hunts monsters with only her mentor, Ursula, as her companion. She’s used to being on her own but Nick and Grace aren’t willing to accept that. Grace is shocked to find out she has a sister, an identical sister at that, and she’s not willing to let Gretchen go… even as their worlds seem so very different.  But what will Grace and Gretchen do when they realize they are actually triplets and that fate has something special in store for them?
 
Tera Lynn Childs does a phenomenal job at creating three very distinct voices for Grace, Gretchen, and Greer. Each chapter focuses on one particular sister’s viewpoint as we see the story unveil through their eyes. The book is written in first person with each chapter stating whose viewpoint will be told in that particular chapter.
 
Greek mythology collides with the present day in this fascinating twist on the Medusa legend. SWEET VENOM is the first in a trilogy and thus there are some unresolved questions at the conclusion of the tale. Tera Lynn Childs writes a tale that is quick to read but is full of intrigue, adventure, and strong female characters. Bravo!
