Moira’s upholstery is going to stink for a week. Hydras definitely fall into the latter category.Īs I steer my car-Moira, named for the fickle fates as a constant reminder to take charge of mine-into a spot across from a dilapidated seafood shack, the stench is practically overwhelming. Some beasties smell mildly unpleasant others could peel paint. It’s somewhere between the acid tang of burning hair and a boat full of rotting fish. These three teenage descendants of Medusa, the once-beautiful Gorgon maligned in myth, must reunite and embrace their fates in this unique paranormal world where monsters lurk in plain sight. 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. Greer has her life pretty well put together, thank you very much. She never expected to run into this girl who could be her double, though. 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. And even more shocking when a girl who looks just like her shows up to fight the monster. It gets scarier when a minotaur walks in the door. The change is full of fresh possibilities, but it’s also a tiny bit scary. But everything tilts sideways when two girls who look eerily like her appear on her doorstep and claim they're all sisters.Grace just moved to San Francisco and is excited to start over at a new school.

Getting rid of a minotaur is just another notch on her combat belt, but she never expected to run into a girl who could be her double in the process. Gretchen is fed up of monsters pulling her out into the small hours, especially on a school night. And even more shocking when a girl who looks exactly like Grace turns up to fight it.

It's a tiny bit scary starting over, but it gets scarier when a minotaur walks in the door.

Meet Grace, who just moved to San Francisco.
