Killer Frost by Jennifer Estep

I’ve battled the Reapers of Chaos before–and survived. But this time I have a Bad, Bad Feeling it’s going to be a fight to the death … most likely mine.
Yeah, I’ve got my psychometry magic, my talking sword, Vic–and even the most dangerous Spartan on campus at my side, in Logan freaking Quinn, but I’m no match for Loki, the evil Norse god of chaos. I may be Nike’s Champion, but at heart, I’m still just Gwen Frost, that weird Gypsy girl everyone at school loves to gossip about.
Then someone I love is put in more danger than ever before, and something inside me snaps. This time, Loki and his Reapers are going down for good … or I am.

I have been into this series from the very first book and now at the end of book six I am really sad to see the series end. Killer Frost was a fast paced ride just like all the other books in the series and as a final book, it did not disappoint! I enjoyed Killer Frost and was happy to reconnect with the characters one last time and be to be in the world of the mythos academy. As a whole, this series was easy for me to dive into. I love mythology and even though I didn't know anything about Norse mythology, I still managed to enjoy the series. I'd definitely recommend this series if you're looking for something light, fun, and fast paced. The romance of the book is pretty good as well. I've really enjoyed it! But anyways, on to the review :)

Midnight Frost by Jennifer Estep

Here we go again …
Just when it seems life at Mythos Academy can’t get any more dangerous, the Reapers of Chaos manage to prove me wrong. It was just a typical night at the Library of Antiquities — until a Reaper tried to poison me. The good news is I’m still alive and kicking. The bad news is the Reaper poisoned someone else instead.
As Nike’s Champion, everyone expects me to lead the charge against the Reapers, even though I’m still hurting over what happened with Spartan warrior Logan Quinn. I’ve got to get my hands on the antidote fast — otherwise, an innocent person will die. But the only known cure is hidden in some creepy ruins — and the Reapers are sure to be waiting for me there …

This was another adventurous and interesting novel in the Mythos Academy series. This was definitely a quick read for me as these books always are. They're so light and action packed which makes it easier for you to fly through the book :) The action in this book is always amazing to me, there is never a dull moment in that aspect of the book, but in this installment, I was missing my romance. It was there, but then again, it wasn't. I'll explain more about that later though.

Spartan Frost by Jennifer Estep

I’m Logan Quinn, the deadliest Spartan warrior at Mythos Academy. At least I was — until the day I almost killed Gwen Frost.
Professor Metis and Nickamedes say that I’m fine, that Loki and the Reapers don’t have a hold on me anymore, but I can’t risk it. I can’t risk hurting Gwen again. So I’m leaving Mythos and going somewhere far, far away.
I know Gwen wonders what’s happening to me, whether I’m safe. I can’t tell her, but this is my story …

This was a pretty short novella in the Mythos Academy series, but it was very much appreciated. It gives you something to look forward to for Midnight Frost! In this novella we get inside Logan's head after he leaves the academy and after the Reaper incident at the school. It was nice to see his take on things and how he felt about the attack. He always seems so lost and confused at times. But it was great to see that his relationship with his Dad has strengthen after everything that's happen. They're both trying to move forward.

Even though everything happened pretty fast, there was a great amount of action that happened towards the end. I can't wait to get my hands on Midnight Frost, because it pretty much tells you something BIG happened at the school. I can kind of guess what, but I'm not completely sure. I really enjoy this series! I would like to thank Netgalley for and arc of Spartan Frost. All thoughts are my honest opinion!

Crimson Frost by Jennifer Estep

For a moment, a face flashed before my eyes—the most hideous face I’d ever seen. No matter how hard I tried to forget what had happened, I saw him everywhere I went. It was Loki—the evil god that I’d helped set free against my will.
I should have known that my first official date with Logan Quinn was destined to end in disaster. If we’d gotten into a swordfight, or been ambushed by Reapers, I’d have been more prepared. But getting arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout? I didn’t see that one coming.
I’ve been accused of purposely helping the Reapers free Loki from his prison—and the person leading the charge against me is Linus Quinn, Logan’s dad. The worst part is that pretty much everyone at Mythos Academy thinks I’m guilty. If I’m going to get out of this mess alive, I’ll have to do it myself…

This is probably one of my favorite installments in the Mythos Academy series. I don't know if it's my favorite, but its one of the top! This book was filled with tons of action. Tons :) Not much romance in this book, but the action made up for it. So many elements happened in this book that left my mind spinning.

I am Gwen Frost, and I have a Gypsy gift. It's called psychometry - that's a fancy way of saying that I see images in my head and get flashes of other people's memories off almost everything I touch, even guys.
My gift makes me kind of nosy. Okay, okay, maybe a lot nosy--to the point of obsession sometimes. I want to know everything about everyone around me. But even I don't want to know the secrets my friend Paige is hiding or the terrible loss that will send me to a new school - Mythos Academy, where the teachers aren't preparing us for the SATs, but to battle Reapers of Chaos. Now I have no friends and no idea how my gift fits in with all these warrior whiz kids. The only thing I do know is that my life is never, ever going to be the same...

I actually thought this was a pretty good novella to the Mythos Academy. If you have not read the first book in the series, then I really think you should start with this one. It really quick and short, but it gives you a lot of information and premise to what you will find out and learn about in the books to come.

I’ve seen so many freaky things since I started attending Mythos Academy last fall. I know I’m supposed to be a fearless warrior, but most of the time, I feel like I’m just waiting for the next Bad, Bad Thing to happen. Like someone trying to kill me—again.
Everyone at Mythos Academy knows me as Gwen Frost, the Gypsy girl who uses her psychometry magic to find lost objects—and who just may be dating Logan Quinn, the hottest guy in school. But I’m also the girl the Reapers of Chaos want dead in the worst way. The Reapers are the baddest of the bad, the people who murdered my mom. So why do they have it in for me?
It turns out my mom hid a powerful artifact called the Helheim Dagger before she died. Now, the Reapers will do anything to get it back. They think I know where the dagger is hidden, but this is one thing I can’t use my magic to find. All I do know is that the Reapers are coming for me—and I’m in for the fight of my life.

This has definitely become a favorite series. I love when I find new books by author that I have never read before and loved! This series is amazing to me and I love it, probably because it has some awesome things that I love about a book all wrapped up in one. Gods/Goddess, warriors, romance, action, and suspense! :) What gets more better than that?!

Edition |Ebook|

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 really really really like this series :) It's amazing! The sequel to Touch of Frost didn't disappoint! I thought it was just as good as the first!

Touch of Frost by Jennifer Estep

Touch of Frost

Edition |Ebook|

My name is Gwen Frost, and I go to Mythos Academy; a school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, 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 did...

I have been wanting to read Touch of Frost every since it first released! I've had the first two books in this series for a while now, but never got the chance to read it! Now I finally have and I am so glad I did :) I loved this book and could not put it down! I read this book in a day and can't wait to start Kiss of Frost, ASAP!
