This week's Waiting on Wednesday pick is...
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Release Date: September 4, 2012
Pages: 328
Three teenage descendants of Medusa, now united, must claim their heritage to fight the monsters escaped from the abyss.
Gretchen may have known she was a descendant of Medusa long before her sisters--after all, she's spent her life fighting the monsters that escape the abyss--but that doesn't mean it will be easy to teach the other girls the ropes.
Greer has pressing social commitments on her plate and precious little time to train in her newfound powers. But that wretched second sight won't leave her alone, and her fabled heritage seems to be creeping into her fashionable life.
Grace has worries closer to home--like why her brother, Thane, has disappeared. He's hiding something. Could it possibly be related to the secret heritage the triplets share?

Why I'm Waiting!
I read and absolutely LOVED Sweet Venom, the first book in this series. And when I say LOVE, I MEAN LOVE!! Like, could NOT put it down. So far I am just so into this story because it's action-packed, the characters are awesome, and it takes such a fun spin on mythology. If you guys haven't read the first one in this series yet, I highly recommend getting your hands on Sweet Venom before this September!
Nice Picks!! Thanks for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteI have been wanting to read Sweet Venom. I love Medusa stories! So glad to hear it is good.
ReplyDeleteMy WOW
The fact that this is about Medusa makes me want to read it. Now I have to try and track down Sweet Venom.

Ahh, I'm glad to hear that Sweet Venom was good! I've been meaning to read that one.
ReplyDeleteSIGH. I had such a bad time with Oh. My. Gods. and Goddess Bootcamp by Tera Lynn Childs that I was completely put off all her other books. But you and I have pretty similar taste (except The Selection ;D), so maybe I'll check out Sweet Venom and keep my fingers crossed for this one.
ReplyDeleteHappy WoW!
Sweet Venom is on my to-read list. Might need to move it up!
ReplyDeleteHappy Wednesday and new email follower :)
