Killer Frost - Jennifer Estep

Killer Frost by Jennifer Estep



















So I was so positive that there were going to be a dozen more Mythos Academy books.
And I was totally wrong.
Killer Frost is the last one.
But it ended well.
I'm not upset with Jennifer at all.
Sometimes I get very mad at authors for the way they finish books or series'.

Short synopsis:
After returning from another Mythos Academy campus, Gwen's group of friends knows the Reapers aren't just going to lay down and retreat.
Gwen spends the following weeks trying to continue to fulfill the mission that Nike gave her.
Collect certain artifacts that will help aid her and her friends final defeat of Loki.
Gwen's grandmother gets stuck in the middle of a new battle, and after a minor success they know that the final battle is nearing.
The spend only a day preparing the campus for the final battle.
Loki's army is stronger in numbers than Nike and Gwen's but finally Gwen realizes what she has to do to finally kill Loki once and for all.


I am sad that this series is over, but it only means there is now space in my brain for a new series!!

Midnight Frost - Jennifer Estep

Midnight Frost by Jennifer Estep



















I started reading the Mythos Academy a few years ago when the first book came out.
I fell in love with Gewn's gypsy gift and the premise of the stories.
Set in an almost current time when normal people have no idea that mythological creatures and powers are real and in practice currently.
Gwen has the gift of psychometry,  when she touches something or someone she gets flashes.
The flashes can be of where the object has been, who has touched it, the feeling or intentions of those people.
When she touches people she can see everything about them, past, present, feelings, intentions, ideas.
She tries not to touch people very often as she feels it is a breach of trust.
In previous books you meet Loki, the bad guy of the mythological world.
Gwen finds herself in charge of getting rid of him.
In each of these books, Loki has his minions - Reapers, try to do away with Gwen.

Short synopsis:
After the last debacle with Reapers, Gwen is just trying to take it easy.
This proves hard for her, as her boyfriend has made himself scarce.
A new Reaper attack leave a close friend on the edge of death.
Gwen and her friends must travel across the country to another Mythos Academy campus to retrieve a necessary plant to save their friend.
While on their mission they of course encounter more Reapers.

Each of these books is a step towards the defeat of Loki and I look forward to reading them through that major event.

Fall Of Night - Rachel Caine

The Morganville Vampires by Rachel Caine

This is book 14 of a series I started 2 summers ago.
I had read the Twilight books, and wanted more vampire books,
so I searched for vamp books on the e-library consortium and came up with this series.

I will be adding a page up top for series' that I really like, and keep up with.
This will definitely be on the top of the list.

This is one of my favorite series, and I can't wait for each new book to come out.
I don't want to give too much of the backstory away because I do want to write about the rest of the books that come before this.




 
Fall of Night
 
 
Short synopsis:
 
Claire Danvers is finally on her way to MIT.
She leaves everything she's known for the last two years, and tries to make it on her own.
But leaving Morganville isn't what she thinks it will be, they may have made nice with the vamps in Morganville, but Claire doesn't realize that there are vamps other places.
And while they aren't directly under Amelie's thumb, she still has eyes on every vamp 'alive'.
The vamps outside of Morganville are going to put everybody in Morganville in jeporady.
 
I love every single book in this series, and am always stoked to get the next book when it comes out.
The series doesn't drag on and repeat itself, there are legitimate new obstacles, and villians in each new book, and Rachel Caine also extends some villians and obstacles through more than one book, which helps keep the series alive.
 
I will deffinately be doing a write up on each of the books in this series. So look for that in the coming months. (13 will take me some time.)
