Kiss of Frost, by Jennifer Estep | Book Review #157

1 Comment

Kiss of Frost is the second book in the Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep. The first book in the series is called Touch of Frost.

There will be spoilers in this review!

10421530“I’m Gwen Frost, a second-year warrior-in-training at Mythos Acad­emy, and I have no idea how I’m going to sur­vive the rest of the semes­ter. One day, I’m get­ting schooled in sword­play by the guy who broke my heart—the drop-dead gor­geous Logan who slays me every time. Then, an invis­i­ble archer in the Library of Antiq­ui­ties decides to use me for tar­get prac­tice. And now, I find out that some­one at the acad­emy is really a Reaper bad guy who wants me dead. I’m afraid if I don’t learn how to live by the sword—with Logan’s help—I just might die by the sword…“

I didn’t really know what to expect going into Kiss of Frost, aside from what is going to be the normal for the rest of this series: someone tries to kill Gwen.  Continue reading →

Touch of Frost, by Jennifer Estep | Book Review #154

“My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy; a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz 9439989kids, where even the lowliest geek knows how to chop off somebody’s head with a sword and Logan Quinn, the hottest Spartan guy in school, also happens to be the deadliest. But lately, things have been weird, even for Mythos. First, mean girl Jasmine Ashton was murdered in the Library of Antiquities. Then, someone stole the Bowl of Tears, a magical artifact that can be used to bring about the second Chaos War. You know, death, destruction and lots of other bad, bad things. Freaky stuff like this goes on all the time at Mythos, but I’m determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why; especially since I should have been the one who died…”

I’ve been wanting to read Touch of Frost for a while now since I accidentally borrowed the second book “Kiss of Frost” from the library. I really think that libraries should start putting “Book One” or “Book Two” on their books when they get a series. It’d make borrowing books way easier!

Since I really like mythology, Touch of Frost was a perfect fit for me. I loved the action that was involved, and the growth that the main character, Gwen, goes through is awesome.

There are some triggers for this book, as there seems to be with every book I’ve been reading lately..

Trigger Warnings: Blood, Abuse, Car Accident Resulting in Death, Murder, & Attempted Murder. Continue reading →
