Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy)
Customer Rating :
Product Description
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 died …

| 122 of 133 people found the following review helpful  Too much sex for a YA ., By Lucine "The Librarian" (Kissimmee FL USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy) (Kindle Edition) I like Estep, but she is going to have to tone things down a little if she wants to write succesful YA books. Books, with Teenagers having sex ( I would be more descriptive but my review was turned down the first time, as being obscene and I was just quoting the book) and classmates leaving used condoms in the library, will not find their way into school libraries. This would have been a nice girl version of the Percy Jackon books if she had not been so set on having most of the kids seeped in adult vices (sex, drugs, alcohol). Please, Ms Estep, do some more YA, but write as if your 13 year old daughter was going to read it . I can recommend this book for adults, but I would never recommend it to one of my students. Lucine 58 of 67 people found the following review helpful Cliched paranormal story, By Cinnamon (California, USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy) (Paperback) Gwen Frost is being forced to attend Mythos Academy, an elite school set apart to train kids who just so happen to be descendants of various mythical warriors. Of course, Gwen doesn't believe in any of the supernatural skills her classmates supposedly possess. The only type of magic she actually accepts is her own and that of her own family. When the school's most popular girl, the icy Valkyrie princess Jasmine, is murdered right in the library next to a stolen mythical artifact called the Bowl of Tears, Gwen is determined to get to the bottom of the entire situation. It's never a good idea to poke your head into other people's business, though. So the results? Who else is to blame but yourself?"Touch of Frost" belongs to the new batch of paranormal stories that all seem exactly the same, only with different character names and fantastical elements. This novel's back story is a mishmash of tons of various warriors -- from Norse gods to ninjas. While that is certainly a...

I'm a little torn about the book, as there are things I both really liked about it and some things I wanted to know more about. I loved what Jennifer did with her mythology and the way she introduced little bits and pieces of each lore through out the story. She created some great legends about both the Greek & Norse Gods and Goddesses, and tied them into the story via Mythos Academy, a school were the children of Valkyries, Spartan Warriors, Gypsies and more attend to learn about their history and how to control their powers. I liked being able to learn more about the legends at the same time the story's main character Gwen does. Gwen herself is a character that liked getting to know, but there were times I was a little bit frustrated with her character. I was bugged that being halfway through the story she still didn't catch on to certain things about the school and why... Read more |
