Ah, I love Logan Quinn.
There’s no way around it, I do. That’s why even when Gwen kept staring at him and acting like a fish out of water whenever he was near, I couldn’t scold her much.
I may be influenced by my “thing” for the black-hair-blue-eyes combination, and his—damn, he’s got a freaking leather jacket, how can you not jump on him?, but I just melt everytime I read Logan’s scenes. And the book surely didn’t lack of them.

@jennifer_estep - created another sweet layer to her Mythos Academy cake with Kiss of Frost. Maybe hunger is prompting me to use dessert as the metaphor or maybe Gwen and her Gram's sweet tooth is contagious; regardless, this is a book for anyone who loves ya mythology, yummy male mc or just likes to fall inside of an adventure that won't release you even when the last page turns.

Plot:
Kiss of Frost pretty much picks up where Touch of Frost left off. Gwen is now training, learning how to use her sword, Vic, as well as other weapons. She begins to discover more of her Gypsy abilities with regards to her "touch magic" and it isn't long before she's in the midst of attacks, supposedly by a Reaper seeking vengeance for her involvement in the death of Jasmine As More...

Kiss of Frost is the second installment in Jennifer Estep’s Mythos Academy Series featuring Gwen Frost and her band of mystically skilled defenders. The students of Mythos Academy, all sworn to save humankind from chaos, along with Gwen (who unlike her peers has not been in training since birth), are set to battle once again the enemy Reapers. These evil Reapers whose only mission (in life), is to see that their leader, Loki the God of Chaos, is freed from the magical prison he was condemned

The students at Mythos Academy go on holiday to the Winter Carnival. Right before they leave Gwen almost gets run over, and shot with an arrow. She believes it is due to a Reaper wanting revenge for the death of another Reaper. At the Winter Carnival similar strange things start happening, leading her to uncovering the truth behind it.

As a huge fan of TOUCH OF FROST, I couldn't stop myself from doing the happy dance when KISS OF FROST arrived on my doorstep. TOUCH OF FROST ended at such a point where I went insane from the dire need to find out what happens next! I am so, so, so, so happy with where Estep went with this one. The characters are further developed, the action is still there, and there is still mucho chemistry between Logan and Gwen. KISS OF FROST kicks it up a notch, so much so that I am expecting a lot from the

It's not often that I say this, but this book was SO much better than the first. I really liked this first one, but this one wasn't so bogged down with the whole learning myth legends and having Gwen learn about who she is. Though it was a bit predictable (Oliver, Logan and Preston), I liked how Estep developed the story and moved it right along.

I feel like I have to justify my rating for this.
Kiss of Frost isn't a BAD book, even though Gwen spends pretty much the entire book - except when thwarting assassination attempts - pining over Logan, which tempted me, at first, to give this 2 stars. But then I looked at other books I'd '2-star'ed, like "Crescendo", "Evermore" and "Halo", and I couldn't lump it in with them.

Second in the Mythos Academy urban fantasy series for young adults about a teen suddenly thrust into an elite boarding school.
My Take
Kind of felt like Estep is channeling Richelle Mead's Vampire Academy series. Instead of vampires, it's gods and goddesses as Gwen Frost learns more and more about the elite world into which she has suddenly been thrust.
The series' theme is Reapers against the Pantheon with the Reapers working at breaking Loki free to plunge the world back More...

Jennifer Estep's writing has really grown in second installment of the Mythos Academy. The character's have not only progressed, but the story as a whole has. There is a change of scenery in this second novel with the main part of the book taking place at a resort. This picked up the pace and was a nice edition. More history, myth, and creatures are revealed in Kiss of Frost. Readers will have a better understanding of the Mythos Academy world and of Gwen and Logan. I'm a sucker for a bad b More...

This is the second time I’ve started writing a review while reading the book. I guess I’m going through the bad-books syndrome lately which according to me is a syndrome where you intentionally read a book which you know you will want to bang against the wall or which will make you bang your head against the wall. Either way I am suffering from that. I just found out that the second book to Mythos academy was out and I just couldn’t resist. I had to make myself suffer reading this book.

Ahhhh, Jennifer Estep likes to test me, even if the 3 stars were given more freely this time.
In my review of Touch of Frost, I voiced my hopes that the series will improve and that much is true; this book was definitely a notch above the previous. But I still feel like we're just going on circles around that main awesome storyline these books were meant to engage.

Book 2 picks up shortly after Touch of Frost, just in time for the Mythos Academy Winter Carnival. After much convincing, Gwen begrudgingly agrees (the girl is nothing if not resistant) to spend the weekend with the rest of her classmates at a posh lodge.

Kiss of Frost, the second novel in The Mythos Academy series, once again showcases Gwen Frost. In the first novel Gwen learns that her Gypsy abilities are about more than just touching and seeing. She comes to find out that her abilities will be soon put to the test to keep the evil god Loki in the underworld prison.

The first book was great, and I can definitely say the same for this one! I enjoyed this read very much. It was not like the other books I have read. In the first book Gwen was an outcast she had nobody but her grandma. The first book was a little slow at the beginning since she was an outcast and had no friends to talk to. The second book though she has friends and much more ;)The second was better than the first, which says a lot. There are more unexpected twists, which always lightens up a

I liked the concept, and I enjoyed the story; however, my enjoyment was marred by the writing. I felt as though the author copied and pasted entire sentences, if not paragraphs, from the first book in the series. I understand the author wanting to provide backstory for individuals who accidentally read this book first, but to provide the explanation verbatim felt like lazy writing and detracted from my overall enjoyment of the story.
I also find it hard to like the heroine. Harry Pot More...

In book one, the main character, Gwen, was amazing.
