I'll admit that I wasn't sure what to expect from this book. Some have raved about it, others have shrugged their shoulders and said "meh". I'm glad to say that I enjoyed this more than I expected. 
 The idea of gorgons as main characters is an interesting idea. They're mythological creatures that aren't usually main characters in teen fiction or even fiction in general. (The only other fiction character I can think of in fiction other than THE gorgon is a Piers Anthony character.) This is one of the big things that really drew me into the story and I'm glad to say that this was well played out. There's just enough of the familiar mixed with new ideas to give this a good twist. 
 I also enjoyed the interactions with the three sisters, although at times the constant jumping between characters kept me from getting as good of a feel for them as I'd have liked. Hopefully the next two volumes will help even this out. The introduction of the various love interests was fairly well done, although I'll admit that I didn't entirely see Nick's appeal. (Still better than Greer's boyfriend, though.) 
 What I do have to warn readers about is that although this was a fun and easy read, there isn't much in this book that's new. Despite the cool gorgon twist, Childs uses a lot of familiar tropes in the UF and YA world. Don't take this as me saying this is bad. It's not. It's just familiar, which might irritate someone who is looking for something absolutely new with every book. (I have some fellow readers who are like this.) 
 This is still worth checking out and I heartily recommend it to fans of series such as Hush, Hush.
