Summary/ product description: “Teen triplets Gretchen,
Grace, and Greer, descendants of Medusa, continue to battle the monsters who
walk the streets of San Francisco, unseen by humans, but realize they must
enter the abyss if they are to protect their loved ones--and their world.
Gretchen may have known she was a descendant of Medusa
long before her sisters—after all, she's spent her life fighting the monsters
that escape the abyss—but that doesn't mean it will be easy to teach the other
girls the ropes. Can she rely on Grace and Greer, or even trust herself to keep
them safe? Greer has pressing social commitments on her plate and precious
little time to train in her newfound powers. But that wretched second sight
won't leave her alone, and her fabled heritage seems to be creeping into her
fashionable life.
Grace has worries closer to home—like why her brother,
Thane, has disappeared. He's hiding something. Could it possibly be related to
the secret heritage the triplets share?
With the warring factions among the gods of Olympus
coming for them, the creatures of the abyss pushing into their world, and the
boys in their lives keeping secrets at every turn, the three girls must figure
out where their fate will take them and how to embrace the shadows of their
legacy.”
My Rating: êêêêê
My Review: I only read Sweet Venom a little over a
month ago and really enjoyed it. Reading the second book I have even more to
enjoy. Some of my predictions from the first book came true in the sequel. And
I still think that this series is very similar to Charmed, the TV show (because
of 3 sisters with powers and it’s set in San Francisco). I wanna go comparing
each sister to a Charmed one. It bet the author loves Charmed. But it’s also
very different because it’s Greek Mythology, not witches. My favorite of the
sisters in this series is Grace. She’s the most relatable personality wise, but
I’m not an eco-geek computer genius, just an art geek. And now Greer is
learning to deal with all this monster stuff. She still wants to do her normal
stuff. She changes a lot from the first book. I like how Nick and Gretchen are.
They’re relationship is crazy funny. She always threatens him. She starts to
trust him, though.
And, not to spoil anything, it was interesting what
kind of creatures Gretchen found in the abyss. You’ll have to read to see it, but
now she sees the reason why the door should be unsealed. There’s 3 sides to this war, and 2 want the
sisters dead. I really like how the plot’s coming along. There are still some
questions not answered, so I will be eagerly anticipating Sweet Legacy. Like,
who is Thane? (Is he a demi-god or something?)
If you liked the Charmed show, Percy Jackson series,
or just love funny mythology stories in general, that I recommend this series.
It’s both girly and tough at the same time. There’s humor, action, romance and
monsters! Kick-butt triplet heroines with magic powers. Sounds awesome, right?
It is. Also check out Tera Lynn Child other series: Oh.My.Gods. and Forgive My
Fins.
Cover Art Review: Similar to the first, no braid, girl
facing forward. Looks like Greer, while the first book looked like Gretchen.
Unless it’s Grace. I still like the title type face. I wish the cover was
matte/dull and not glossy and flat. The inside cover is embossed with the
title.
