Crimson Frost

CRIMSON FROST

Seventeen-year-old Gypsy girl Gwen Frost has charmed readers with her snarky, self-deprecating voice and unusual powers since TOUCH OF FROST, the book that first opened the doors to Mythos Academy.  With each installment, Jennifer Estep’s RITA nominated series has quickly gained popularity as word continues to spread about this school of myths, magic and warrior whiz kids, where the students are taught and trained to become protectors of humankind when they “grow up.”  In January 2013, Gwen returns with her gift of psychometry in CRIMSON FROST

Gwen should have known that her first official date with Logan Quinn was destined to end in disaster. She was prepared to get into a swordfight, or be ambushed by Reapers. But getting arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout? She didn’t see that one coming.  Gwen is accused of purposely helping the Reapers free the evil god Loki from his prison—and the person leading the charge against her is Linus Quinn, Logan’s dad. The worst part is that pretty much everyone at Mythos Academy thinks she’s guilty. If she’s going to get out of this mess alive, she’ll have to do it herself…



                   ~~~~~~~~~~~~~My Review~~~~~~~~~~
Crimson Frost. This book was fantabulous. Okay when I say that it brought my inner mythology nerd out. This book was like Harry Potter and Percy Jackson in one book. Gypsy Girl is such an amazing girl. She thinks aha almost every girl thinks. She doubts herself and just is normal even though she is Nike's champion.. 
I really wished that I would have known this was the second book in the series.. Sadly, I read this one first. I may have read this one first but i'm hunting for the first one.
Logan Quinn sounds like the perfect boyfriend. He loves his gypsy girl so much... He stood up to his dad and he ever does that. Linus Quinn didnt back down but Logan sure tried to persuade.. The problem was Logan's step mom.. Yes the Step mom is an evil viper. 
I give this book a 5/5. 

Hooked


Get Hooked on a Girl Named Fred...
HE said: Fred Oday is a girl? Puh-leeze. Why is a girl taking my best friend’s spot on the boys’ varsity golf team?

SHE said: Can I seriously do this? Can I join the boys’ team? Everyone will hate me—especially Ryan Berenger.

HE said: Coach expects me to partner with Fred on the green? That is crazy bad. Fred’s got to go—especially now that I can’t get her out of my head. So not happening.

SHE said: Ryan can be nice, when he’s not being a jerk. Like the time he carried my golf bag. But the girl from the rez and the spoiled rich boy from the suburbs? So not happening.

But there’s no denying that things are happening as the girl with the killer swing takes on the boy with the killer smile...

My Review: Can I say one word? Amazing. Fred Oday hated Ryan in the beginning.. But even from the beginning you could tell that she fell for him. The best thing in her life was making the golf team. She was set on the golf and she strived for it. She didn't care if she was put on an all boys team.. And she showed them all up. Seth may have hated her, but Fred ended up winning. Seth got ditched by Ryan because he was so jealous of Fred. I'm glad that she got this amazing chance and got to have an amazing High school experience.. I could go on forever, but i want this post to be short and sweet.
