Description
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.

"A misfit, a rebel, and always figuring things out on the fly, Gwen is an exciting protagonist. Readers get to see the rich, exclusive school setting combined with fantastical fighting and sprinkled with romance. A fun, fast read." - School Library Journal
"The second book in the Mythos Academy series, this book gives new life to Greek myths in a high school setting. Estep blends the perfect amount of action, romance and comedy in a beautiful setting populated with well-rounded characters who make you feel as if you are right there beside them. Lots of twists and turns and a surprise ending will leave the reader breathless!" - RT Book Reviews, 4 Stars
"Page-turning and slightly addictive... Jennifer Estep has managed to successfully create a YA series that deals with some deep issues but is fast paced, interesting, funny and snarky at times, yet it still manages to not take its self too seriously and weigh the reader down with emotions." - Paperback Dolls
"Ms. Estep's Mythos Academy is sure to appeal to all those who love a good character-driven YA that uses humor, snark, and seriousness to create a world you won't want to leave." - Heroes & Heartbreakers
"Loved the romance and the world-building, and Estep has a great ear for dialogue."- All Things Urban Fantasy
"Kiss of Frost delivers in its promise of exciting romance tinged with action and continues to give the readers a fun tale.

"A Harry-Potter-meets-romance kind of book with a touch of chaos and mystery." - The Bookworm Sez (nationally syndicated column)
"Basically, Jennifer Estep is a genius...The writing is, not surprisingly, fantastic, because how can you possibly have such incredible ideas and such incredible stories and not be a stunning writer? You can't. It's perfectly paced, perfectly told, and drawn together without a flaw." - Simply Nerdy

"Another excellent addition to the series. Estep combines the typical angst of teen life with its complicated dance of attraction, discomfort with the need to fit in to the popular cliques and overall cattiness between students with the paranormal elements of interacting with gods, superhuman agility and strength, and various unusual talents in an entertaining and intriguing tale." - Night Owl Reviews

"Estep knows how to make all of it fun and sexy... The writing's to the point, no flowery prose to decorate the scenes, and I appreciate that in a book where danger is abundant. This is an interesting twist of Norse mythology and superheroes that cuts out any unnecessary history lessons, and doesn't stuff morality in spades." - Liyana Land

"The story draws you in, making you wonder just what is going on in this world. I love getting to go to school with Gwen and hear about the Amazons, Spartans, and other warriors, and their powers.
