"Merging the two worlds is such an interesting idea!"

Fresh Fiction Review

Spider and Frost
Jennifer Estep

Reviewed by Annie Tegelan

Fantasy Urban

Jennifer Estep has released SPIDER AND FROST, an interesting novella set in both of her well-known series. If you’re a fan of the Elemental Assassin series and the Mythos Academy series, then you’re in for a treat because, in this unique crossover novella, we get both kickass heroines in one story!

Merging the two worlds is such an interesting idea and because I’m a fan of both series, I was really excited to see Estep bring them together. The story is told from of the points of view of two main heroines and it was nice to see how each of them thinks. It’s also a great way to be introduced to the other series if you haven’t tried it before. Because the Elemental Assassin series is an Urban Fantasy series geared toward adult readers and Mythos Academy is a Young Adult Fantasy series, I think the crossover is great for readers who are maturing or just want to try something different!

I really enjoyed SPIDER AND FROST and its uniqueness. If you haven’t read either of these series yet, then here’s your chance to do so. Although you probably won’t appreciate it as much as someone who has read and followed both series through the course of the years, I think it’s good enough to spark new interest in those who want to try something new.

SUMMARY

New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Estep delivers an epic team-up featuring beloved characters from her Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series and her Mythos Academy young adult series. This crossover novella, Spider and Frost, mixes magic and mythology in an action-packed adventure. Perfect for fans of Ilona Andrews, Jennifer L. Armentrout, and Rick Riordan.

WHEN AN ASSASSIN . . .
My name is Gin Blanco, and I’m on vacation. Sort of. As the assassin the Spider, it’s hard for me to completely relax, but I’m determined to enjoy a scenic train ride and a nice, quiet lunch before heading back home to Ashland.

My plans change when Gwen Frost boards the train. The girl says she’s heading back to Mythos Academy, the fancy private boarding school, but I can’t shake the feeling that Gwen is hiding something—and is in far more trouble than she realizes.

. . . MEETS A CHAMPION
My name is Gwen Frost. I might have saved the world from Loki, the evil Norse god of chaos, but I’m still chasing down Reaper villains. It’s all part of being the Champion of Nike, the Greek goddess of victory.

I’ve been assigned to protect some mythological artifacts that are being transported via train to Mythos Academy, but some Reapers are hot on my trail, and they’ll do anything to recover the artifacts—and kill me.

Also on the train is Gin Blanco, who claims to be the owner of the Pork Pit barbecue restaurant. My psychometry magic keeps whispering that there’s more to her than meets the eye, although I can’t tell if Gin is a friend, an enemy, or something else entirely.

Note: Spider and Frost is a 28,000-word crossover novella between the Elemental Assassin urban fantasy series and the Mythos Academy young adult series. It is told from the points of view of Gin Blanco and Gwen Frost.
Spider and Frost takes place after the events of Last Strand, book 19 in the Elemental Assassin series.
