Sweet Venom was so much fun! Long-lost triplets with Gorgon abilities reuniting to fight monsters from another dimension! And a prophecy! I love prophecies! And I love San Francisco, which is apparently the portal between the realm of Greek monsters and the human world. Gretchen has been fighting these monsters for four years alone. Then while hunting she spots Grace who looks just like her and can also see through the monsters' glamors. Then through Grace's geeky research skills, they find Greer! Of course, there's a bounty on their heads since the monsters want to stay in the city.

I basically adored Sweet Venom. It was a super quick, engaging, and just fun read! The author also did a great job of giving each of the girls their own, distinct voice. So even though the chapters are labeled, it was always clear who was telling the story. Also, we don't meet Greer until nearly two-thirds in, and her voice is very different than her sisters'! The story is very focused on these girls reuniting and finding that sisterly bond that they've never had before. There is some romance going on, but it's super minor and I loved how each of the triplets handle their guys quite differently.

My only kind of issue with Sweet Venom was the use of the "No one understands it, so it is what it is" explanation. That's really lazy to me, and a cop out for actually coming up with an explanation. Everything else about the world was clear and interesting, which was mainly a lot about how us humans got the mythology wrong. But why Gretchen, Grace, and Greer's venom is able to send the monsters back home was just glossed over with that excuse. I was wondering how it worked, and then Gretchen gave that non-explanation and I got a bit annoyed. Either skip over it, and let readers' assume that answer is coming later, or make something up! We won't know the difference!

Other than that one thing, I really enjoyed Sweet Venom. It just made me feel good to read it, and I laughed out loud in places. I liked each of the girls, and they felt different without falling too much into stereotypes (Greer did a bit, but I believe her!). I also just really liked the change from a couple out to save the world, to a group of siblings! Especially triplets!

Sweet Venom Sweet Sixteen Tera Lynn Childs Books Reviews

Is it great? No, it's not the most perfect masterpiece or work of art. Ask me if it is entertaining and I will say yes. Especially if you are in the 12-14 year range. I really enjoyed this as a child. I thought the idea was unique and that the characters had enough interesting details about them. I still find it good to read when I'm bored, but I don't pick this up over and over to taste the words in my mouth. I just pick it up and set it down easily.
Sweet Venom is the first book in a trilogy. It’s saturated with Medusa mythology, and set in present time with Medusa’s decedents. She had three daughters from a human husband, who was lost in myth throughout time, forgotten if it were.

Until now.

The world needs saviors, even if they don’t know it. In Sweet Venom, we learn that there are creators from a different dimension that filter through a small hole, which at one time Medusa guarded. These creators look human to other humans, although the guardian perceives their real form. Humans would describe creators as nasty, sometimes smelly, creatures. The guardian’s job is to send those beasties back to where they came from.

There are a bunch of twists and turns throughout, Sweet Venom, which makes describing the premise difficult. Just know that there are aspects of the story that were unpredictable, however, a vast majority of this story was exactly that—predictable.

In addition, there are errors throughout the book, such as missing words and grammar. I found the slow pace and repetitiveness frustrating.
Many times, I thought, Get on with it! I’ve heard this several times, I got it, and move on already.

I downloaded Sweet Venom during a Free Promotion. Although, I find out that this book is selling between eight and nine dollars! Even though this was a full novel with over 300 pages, it is a YA book, and extremely overpriced. The other two books in this trilogy are, in my opinion, overpriced as well.

Sweet Venom was an okay book, but not worth paying that much. Most books that size, which include a professional edit, are between three and four dollars.
