{YA Minute Review} Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy #1) by Jennifer Estep

{YA Review} Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy #1) by Jennifer Estep

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...(Blurb via Goodreads)
{Details} Paperback, 350 pages. Published August 1st 2011 by K-Teen. Source: Library

{Rating} 4/5

{Review} Spartans and Amazons and Valkyries oh my. Mythos Academy is populated with them. And then there's Gypsy Girl, Gwen. Poor Gwen. She doesn't fit in, she's friendless, she doesn't understand why she's at Mythos Academy and she can't stop literally running into Logan Quinn. Gwen's a great character, she's strong and smart and determined to do the right thing. 

The book kept my attention from the first page. There are lots of mysteries, what happened to Jasmine, who's trying to start a war and why, what Logan's hiding, what's so special about Gwen. After book one I'm hooked on this series. I can't wait to read the next book, Kiss of Frost, I need answers!
