Review: Touch of Frost

(Mythos Academy)

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 …

Truly Exciting!! You get to dive in with Gwen and Mythos Academy and it's a breathtaking ride. I love mythology and so this was even more great because of all of it thrown in. Especially...Spartans, yes you heard me Spartans *sigh* I really cannot wait till Kiss of Frost comes out in Nov. I will be snatching that one up.

Estep is a wonderful writer and builds a whole world in her book. I was there while reading and it was amazing and exciting and a little scary. Her characters are no where near perfect .. any of them they are normal teenagers doing what they do even with all the special thing they are and can do.

GET IT...LOVE IT!!

Review: Hades (Halo series)

by Alexandra Adornetto

Heaven Help Her.

Bethany Church is an angel sent to Earth to keep dark forces at bay. Falling in love was never part of her mission, but the bond between Beth and her mortal boyfriend, Xavier Woods, is undeniably strong. But even Xavier’s love, and the care of her archangel siblings, Gabriel and Ivy, can’t keep Beth from being tricked into a motorcycle ride that ends up in Hell. There, the demon Jake Thorn bargains for Beth’s release back to Earth. But what he asks of her will destroy her, and quite possibly, her loved ones, as well.

• Get ready to go to Hell! Hades is here. I fell in love with all the characters in Halo, and I picked that feeling right up again in this one.Bethany and Xavier are so amazing together. You get a first class ticket into the third circle of hell, and Alexandra does an amazing job of describing the place and the feeling that its suffocating :) 
• Truly a great book and you need to get it and enjoy!

Review: Delirium by Lauren Oliver

Review: Delirium 

by Lauren Oliver

Lena Haloway is content in her safe, government-managed society. She feels (mostly) relaxed about the future in which her husband and career will be decided, and looks forward to turning 18, when she’ll be cured of deliria, a.k.a. love. She tries not to think about her mother’s suicide (her last words to Lena were a forbidden “I love you”) or the supposed “Invalid” community made up of the uncured just beyond her Portland, Maine, border. There’s no real point—she believes her government knows how to best protect its people, and should do so at any cost. But 95 days before her cure, Lena meets Alex, a confident and mysterious young man who makes her heart flutter and her skin turn red-hot. As their romance blossoms, Lena begins to doubt the intentions of those in power, and fears that her world will turn gray should she submit to the procedure.

Wow! when you start this book you step into a different United States and it's very sad. Oliver makes you feel everything that is going on as if you were there beside Lena. This is one of those books that makes your heart race and then you feel the fear and then ... the bottom drops out. Again.. this is a book that left me with my jaw hanging open ... OMG WHY??? great great story! cannot wait for me :)

Get it ... feel it ...

Review : The Goddess Test by Aimee Carter

The Goddess Test 

By: Aimee Carter

It's always been just Kate and her mom—and her mother is dying. Her last wish? To move back to her childhood home. So Kate's going to start at a new school with no friends, no other family and the fear her mother won't live past the fall.

Then she meets Henry. Dark. Tortured. And mesmerizing. He claims to be Hades, god of the Underworld—and if she accepts his bargain, he'll keep her mother alive while Kate tries to pass seven tests.

Kate is sure he's crazy—until she sees him bring a girl back from the dead. Now saving her mother seems crazily possible. If she succeeds, she'll become Henry's future bride, and a goddess.

I really got into this book. The author gives great detail about the places and people that draws you in. Each character has depth and they are lovable. There were a few places that had me going .. OMG.. but I am not going to spoil anything because if I even mention things in the book it will give it all away and everyone needs to experience this awesome tale without being spoiled!!  GREAT BOOK!
