Tanis Barlas is, in no particular order, a daughter of Lamia, a snake-woman, a killer and a hunter, collecting men to mate with her mother and continue the precious line. She hates it, like she hates her messed-up family and everything that goes with it.

And now Lamia’s favourite daughter has gone missing, and Tanis is sent into enemy territory – the snake-haired gorgons, whose turf starts at the edge of the swamp – to find her, starting a chain of events that will change every part of her life.

“Ultra-twisted.” – Charlie Jane Anders on Unclean Spirits

“A high-octane thriller, rife with mythology and god-killing. Highly recommended.” – The Raggedy Author on Mythbreaker

“The hero’s profanity-laced, snarky, deeply loving, yet antagonistic relationship with her mother is delightful.” – Kirkus Reviews on The Awesome

“Monahan does a brilliant job of racheting up tension and keeping the stakes high throughout the novel.” – The Book Smugglers on Mary: The Summoning
