Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs
Grace just moved to San Francisco and is excited to start over at a new school. The change is full of fresh possibilities, but it’s also a tiny bit scary. It gets scarier when a minotaur walks in the door. And even more shocking when a girl who looks just like her shows up to fight the monster.
Gretchen is tired of monsters pulling her out into the wee hours, especially on a school night, but what can she do? Sending the minotaur back to his bleak home is just another notch on her combat belt. She never expected to run into this girl who could be her double, though.
Greer has her life pretty well put together, thank you very much. But that all tilts sideways when two girls who look eerily like her appear on her doorstep and claim they're triplets, supernatural descendants of some hideous creature from Greek myth, destined to spend their lives hunting monsters.
These three teenage descendants of Medusa, the once-beautiful gorgon maligned by myth, must reunite and embrace their fates in this unique paranormal world where monsters lurk in plain sight.

This is the first book in her new series, The Medusa Girls, and I am really excited for it. I mean, look at the cover! Stunning! Then you factor in the fact that I loved Oh. My. Gods. and Forgive My Fins, and you have a very anxiously awaited book. And did I mention that I love the cover?

Hi, thanks for stopping by and I'm now a new follower.
ReplyDeleteI had Sweet Venom as an earlier WoW pick because I enjoyed Forgive My Fins so much.
I love the SV's cover especially the way her ringlets form Medusa's snake-like hair.
This one sounds so awesome and the cover is beautiful.
