Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs

Sweet Venom by Tera Lynn Childs



When I read this is about three teenagers, I kept reading to find out when the third teenager would come in to the story.  Childs has the novel flip between Gretchen and Grace as they tell their story about seeing monsters that ordinary humans cannot see, fighting them, and learning about each other identities.  Each of the three sisters has a distinct personality to them, and I enjoyed reading how they interact with each other and learn to accept their fate. 

While Childs leaves several questions unanswered, it makes me want to continue reading to find out the answers. 

Childs keeps the readers guessing about what is going to happen and what secrets the characters have.  I think Nick can see the monsters too but hasn't let Gretchen know about it yet.  Why would a monster recognize Nick, and why would Nick tell Gretchen to watch out for a scorpion tale on a monster if humans cannot see the monsters?  

What is Thane's secret and where did he go??? Did he choose  leave on his own or was the choice made for him? 

These three girls are kind of like triplet Charlie's Angels who all have their own specialty.  I look forward to seeing how sweet the next installment is and having more of my questions answered.
