Gretchen has fangs but she is not even close to being a
vampire. She is a descendent of the gorgon Medusa gifted with special powers
that she uses to send mythical monsters back to their realm after escaping into
our world. But things are beginning to change; more and more monsters are
appearing in the streets of San Francisco along with a girl named Grace who
looks just like Gretchen.
The two join
forces only to meet a third descendent of Medusa - Greer. All three girls will
have to unite and use their gorgon gifts to defeat this oncoming tide of
monsters.
This is the first book in the trilogy Medusa Girls. Much
like the Percy Jackson series Sweet Venom also depicts the world of Greek
mythology colliding with this one. It has strong appeal to readers who enjoy
Greek mythology and strong female characters. Each girl has a totally different
personality and set of strengths, making it easy for readers to find qualities
in them that they can relate too.
The
end of the first book leaves the reader wanting more so make sure to check out
the second book in the series
SweetShadows.
