- W2080332669 abstract "Reviewed by: Sweet Venom Jeannette Hulick Childs, Tera Lynn. Sweet Venom. Tegen/HarperCollins, 2011. 345p. ISBN 978-0-06-200181-8 $17.99 Ad Gr. 7–10. When high-school junior, computer whiz, and adoptee Grace Whitfield has an encounter with a repulsive Minotaur in a dim sum parlor, she realizes that mythological monsters are real. Then Grace meets Gretchen, her identical sister and a monster-slayer extraordinaire, who teaches Grace how to defend herself against the monsters who are showing up in the city, and who informs Grace that she belongs to a set of identical sisters who are mortal descendants of the Gorgon Medusa (who was not in fact a monster but a guardian who kept monsters in check until jealous Athena intervened and bad-mouthed her). When Grace stumbles upon information that suggests that they have a third sister and that together they have an important and mysterious task, the duo goes looking for the last of the triplets. Greer completes the trio, and the triplets prepare to help Gretchen’s mentor (the Gorgon Euryale, now imprisoned somewhere), find Euryale’s sister (posing as a counselor at Grace’s school), kick some monster butt, and ascertain their task. There isn’t much depth to Childs’ characterizations of the sisters, and their voices are at times clichéd and stiff. Still, the premise is genuinely intriguing, and the lingering mysteries are compelling enough to encourage readers to carry on to the dramatic conclusion (and set-up for the sequel). Readers who like their fiction served up with a generous helping of Greek mythology may skim through some of the clunkier bits but will likely be sufficiently entertained.
