Gwen Frost, a gypsy with the power of psychometric, is
finally starting to settle into her new school, Mythos
Academy. Training each morning with Logan Quinn and two of
his Spartan friends is a boon and a bane. Sure she gets to
see the guy she has the hots for everyday but she also gets
to watch said guy make out with his girlfriend, who is not
Gwen. Then there's the pesky matter of someone trying to
kill her again. First she almost gets run over by a black
SUV and then someone shoots an arrow at her in the library.
With all that going on, it's pretty easy for Gwen's Valkyrie
best friend, Daphne Cruz, to convince her to go the Winter
Carnival.
Once at the Winter Carnival, things start looking up for
Gwen. She meets Preston, a really cute guy from the New York
academy who seems to like her. Things are going great but
Gwen hasn't escaped the danger that was chasing her at
Mythos, just the location. Convinced it's the reapers who
are out to get revenge on her, Gwen encounters a Fenrir wolf
but manages to escape. Determined to solve her own problems,
Gwen may have taken on more than she can handle, because if
she doesn't get some help soon, she won't be around long
enough to find out who's after her.
I've been looking forward to KISS OF FROST since I read the
first book in Jennifer Estep's Mythos Academy series,
Touch of Frost. The story picks up a few weeks after
the events of the first book and you find yourself getting
sucked back into the Mythos world all over again. The second
time around, we get to delve deeper into the lives of the
characters and learn things about their pasts, pulling you
deeper into the story. The villain was pretty predictable
but there are other twists that will surprise you and keep
you on your toes. The teasing in regards to Gwen and Logan's
will it be or won't it be relationship is one aspect of the
series I can't get enough of and can't wait to read Dark
Frost, the next book in the series which releases in
June, to see how things progress. The teaser at the end of
KISS OF FROST was no where near enough to tide me over and
just left me desperate for more. KISS OF FROST is an
engrossing and intriguing addition to this wonderful series
and I would recommend it to anyone looking for a great read.
At Mythos Academy, teen warriors in the making train to
take up their roles protecting humankind. With her snarky,
self-deprecating voice and strange gift of psychometry -
the ability to know an object's history just by touching
it - Gwen Frost is an outsider both to the students of the
Academy and the rest of the world. But now that she's
taking private tutoring with the Academy's most notorious
young Spartan, and has Nike's own sword to protect her,
she's ready to make mark...
