This is the 1st book in her Medusa Girls series. The narrative bounces between the sisters, but it's solid and this is definitely a keeper-shelf book for me. It's a little more serious than her other series ("Forgive My Fins" and "Oh. My. Gods."), but not terribly grim. I really enjoy how the author handles the myths that she works with in her books. My biggest issue with the book is how 1 of the characters handles a scene with a monkey monster.
I've found that Tera Lynn Childs writes a likeable teen. Some authors' teen characters (main or tertiary) come across as snot-nosed teens, which is awkward in YA since so any characters are teens and it's a reading-buzz killer to hate *everyone* in a book, but Childs protagonists are all very different, but believable characters that you don't mind rooting for. Sometimes they can be a little bratty and sometimes they make choices that I disagree with, but it's in-character and not "I make bad decisions because I'm a teen" writing. She has several cross-overs between her magic and myth based series, which mostly have the same light tone.
