The whole book is about the sisters finding each other, accepting their fate, and deciding to work together. I wouldn’t even call it a cliff hanger since the story doesn’t really get started until the end. In fact, I would have loved to read a whole book just about Grace and her mysterious older brother. I also really liked the guys in this book, two of whom clearly have big secrets they are keeping. Not all the sisters endeared themselves to me, but the mythological ride was a fun one. Imagine teenaged Charmed but with Greek Mythology and you get SWEET VENOM.
She’s the socialite snob who is more concerned with not ruining her shoes than with the monsters attacking them. Greer is the sister we meet towards the end of the book. She’s big into computers and not so much into sticking up for herself.
She took a long time for me to warm up to and is responsible for the less than stellar start in SWEET VENOM. She’s super sarcastic and supremely unimpressed with everything. Gretchen is the tough and jaded one who has been fighting monsters for years on her own. All three do have very distinct personalities, which I appreciated, but those distinctions all kiss the cliché line more than I would like. Gretchen, Grace, and Greer are the three monster hunters who were separated at birth. These descendants of Medusa have lethal venom laced fangs, the ability to hypnotize with their eyes, and three powers uniquely theirs. No turning people to stone with a glance. 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.Show More monster hunters who are the only ones who can see the mythological beasties that prey on humanity. 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.
Greer has her life pretty well put together, thank you very much. She never expected to run into this girl who could be her double, though. 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. And even more shocking when a girl who looks just like her shows up to fight the monster. It gets scarier when a minotaur walks in the door. The change is full of fresh possibilities, but it's also a tiny bit scary. Grace just moved to San Francisco and is excited to start over at a new school.
