I got a copy of it to read this weekend! (Not able to go to shul this year, sadly, for a variety of reasons, and I have been trying to think about how to reflect and mark the days from home while my family is at shul.)

I wrote about Tera Lynn Childs' _Sweet Venom_ for Calliope's Library. CalliopesLibrary ClassicsBluesky www.calliopeslibrary.org/sweetvenom

Sweet Venom cover
Gretchen Sharpe is a huntress, a descendent of Medusa, tasked with guarding the unaware mortal world from escaped monsters. Every bit as tough as her name makes her sound, Gretchen is able to smell monsters as they emerge from “the abyss” into her native San Francisco, fight them with her weapons and highly-honed martial skills, and then, with her retractable fangs, deliver a dose of venom that sends them back to their realm.  Grace Whitfield is a self-described “eco-geek” who has just moved to San Francisco with her parents and older brother, and does not realize that she, too, is a huntress until she begins seeing monsters that normal mortals cannot see.  When the two sixteen-year-olds encounter each other battling a fire-breathing lizard in a nightclub, they realize that they are twins, separated at birth and adopted by different families. Questions about identities follow the girls throughout the story as it becomes clear that circumstances are changing, putting them in danger.
This book is a very exciting read with mysterious and likable characters. The monsters—some familiar and some more obscure, perhaps invented by the author for the book—are interesting and diverse, although the story gives them very little opportunity for dialogue. Grace’s family members are kind and accepting, and her brother (and his cute soccer-playing friend) are warm and loving to Grace. The questions that multiply throughout the narrative are not answered by the end of the book, leading the reader to want to pick up the next volume of the trilogy immediately. Look especially for a last-minute character addition, for which I will not provide a spoiler here, but cannot avoid revealing in my review of the next book! --Nava Cohen
