Dark Frost is the newest novel in the Mythos Academy series by Jennifer Estep.It starts off one day before classes start back from holiday break. Though I did not read the previous novel, I had no trouble getting into what was happening and who the characters were.

Gwen, Daphne, and Carson, along with most of the other second-year Mythos students are at Crius Coliseum to finish an assignment. (view spoiler)[They are in the weapons room when Reapers attack in search of the Helheim dagger. Gwen and her friends battle the Reapers and manage to barely survive the attack, but some of their classmates weren't so lucky. Gwen is determined to find the dagger before the Reapers can find it and use it to release Loki from his prison thrusting the world into another chaos war. With all the craziness in her life, her best friend acting completely weird,trying to figure out things with Logan and coming across the Fenrir wolf that helped saved her life, things go from bad to worse for Gwen. (hide spoiler)]

Dark Frost jumps right into the action from the very first chapter. Gwen is a very well drawn character.She's flawed and sometimes self-conscious, but always wanting to be stronger and find that inner courage. Dark Frost is an exciting, fast paced read with adventure,romance,and some mystery that had me hooked from beginning to end.

I definitely recommend Dark Frost to anyone who loves young adult fiction, paranormal romance, or mythological folktales. But you might want to start with the first book(s) in the series first just to get a better grip on what's going on. Still, a very good read.
