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.

Small Persons With Wings - Ellen Booraem

Small Persons With Wings (They Hate To Be Called Fairies) by Ellen Booraem




I pulled this myself yesterday, (Darrell was out,) and ended up reading it yesterday as well.
I was kind of intrigued by the jacket description, but wasn't expecting too much.
About midway through I was a little nervous that the book wasn't going to have a conflict, but I was wrong, it was just a lot further into the book than most.

Short synopsis:

Mellie Turpin used to have a fairy small person with wings living in her bedroom, she proclaimed this to her kindergarten class, but when she tried to bring him in, he disappeared. For years she has never been able to live it down but gets her chance when her family moves away. But of course having a small person with wings isn't just a coincidence, its her families birthright. So moving only makes her small person with wings problem worse. They want their magic back from the Turpin family, but of course one small person with wings wants the power all to themselves.

This was a cute take on fairies. I had a hard time following the magic and what made it work and where it was from.
But sometimes I have a tendency to skip over or skim sections without realizing, and then it's too much trouble to reread because I'm not sure what I missed.
Other than that, which is my own fault, I really liked it.
The throw you for a loop part at the end wasn't too drastic, and it played out nicely.
