Grace just moved to San Francisco and is excited to start over at a new school. The change is full of fresh possibilities, but it’s also a tiny bit scary. It gets scarier when a minotaur walks in the door. And even more shocking when a girl who looks just like her shows up to fight the monster.
Gretchen is tired of monsters pulling her out into the wee hours, especially on a school night, but what can she do? Sending the minotaur back to his bleak home is just another notch on her combat belt. She never expected to run into this girl who could be her double, though.
Greer has her life pretty well put together, thank you very much. But that all tilts sideways when two girls who look eerily like her appear on her doorstep and claim they're triplets, supernatural descendants of some hideous creature from Greek myth, destined to spend their lives hunting monsters. These three teenage descendants of Medusa, the once-beautiful gorgon maligned by myth, must reunite and embrace their fates in this unique paranormal world where monsters lurk in plain sight.

So glad that I finally got to read this series. It sucks that it took me almost a week to get through this one as we all came down with a cold. :( but I am forging on to finish it all by Sat. for our 1pm and 7pm Read Time live chat show via Spreecast.
Well anyway I love me some mythology! I heart most retellings of it and this one was no less yummy! I love the story of Medusa and her sisters and the story that Tera is telling really grips the reader. You find yourself scared if something is going to happen to the girls! The POVs in this are done great! Some of the best that I have read! You dont have to worry you wont know what is going on and it just flows wonderfully. Although this book is a little slow to begin with it, it picks up pace towards half way through and dont let that discourage you its a great book!
Ok off to read Sweet Shadows!
