Dark Frost by Jennifer Estep

Hello again everyone, I just finished reading Dark Frost by Jennifer Estep, the fourth book in the Mythos Academy series.
Gwen and friends start their day with an exciting trip to the museum, that turns horrible when they are attacked by reapers. Gwen comes face to face to sword with the women her killed her mother, and though the battle is intense the girl gets away before Gwen, with her trusty sword Vic, can end her life.
Back at the academy things are finally going back to normal after the attack at the ski resort before the break. But now the Fenrir wolf that Gwen helped in the previous book is back as well, carrying a tiny surprise in HER stomach ;)
While Gwen is searching up and down trying to find the dagger that her mother his before her death she has to deal with a few problems that seem to keep coming up. One of those problems happens to be Logan Quinn.
The sparton boy has been seriously close to the gypsy girl ever since she nearly died at the hands of a Reaper at the ski lodge (last book). But Gwen knows his secret, something that makes him very angry with her when he finds out she knows.
Her best friend Daphne is also acting strange ever since her powers quickened and she got her new ability fighting the Reapers. All on her own Gwen has to solve her problems without the help of her friends.
Will Gwen be able to find the dagger before Loki's champion does and frees her master from his tomb to start the next Caos war? Or will the Reapers finally succeed in killing her and all her friends to stop them from interfering?
Read the Mythos Academy series to find out ;)
This was an interesting book because though I have been waiting for it to come out for months, I wasn't all that excited to read it. Any book series, unless it is absolutely amazing and impossible to give up, should not be more that three books long in my opinion. It makes it harder to remember the story line when the books come out so far in between. But I liked the book none the less.
It was well written by a reliable author, and the characters are loveable. I'm hoping the next book, Crimson Frost, due in stores in January 2013 will be the last one and will wrap things up nicely.
The book right now sits at a four out of five star rating.

 Hope you enjoy, until next time, and next read ;)

Kings or Pawns By J. J. Sherwood

Hey everyone I hope you are all having a good Monday. This week I was lucky enough to be sent a copy of this book to read. It's about the size of an average book, just about 400 pages online but it is by no means a quick read. Like Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings there is a lot of the lore and different species to learn about. Along with that there is also the add on of other worlds with even more people. My first impressions of the book were that it was a little hard to get into. The cover of the book reminds me of Dungeons and Dragons, which I am a big fan. But as a player I know that there can be a lot to do before getting into the good parts of the story so I sort of felt that the book would be a little like that. I wouldn't say that feeling was far off. But before I get into that let me tell you a bit about the book: In the world there are only two real players: King and Pawns. If you are not a King... well, you know what you are. Even if you are a highly respe

By the Hands of Men: The Old World by Roy M. Griffs

Hey everyone, I'm posting a little late today because... well, I don't actually have an excuse. I was eating McDonalds and then found a funny video online and well... I'm doing it now do there is no reason to go on. A couple weeks ago I received this book to read from the very generous author. It is a Historical Fiction set in World War One from the point of view of a nurse working near the front lines. I love stories from War because they are part of our history and I think it's important to know more about it. This book was also great for me because we had just gotten to the part about World War One in my European History class (both of the ones I am taking). But let me tell you a bit about the story: Charlotte is a Russian nurse who has been working on the front lines since close to the beginning of the war. Her and her friend from America have been working hard and have learned many things while treating the wounded. For a couple of months Charlotte is moved

The World Below by Mike Phillips

Hello everyone I hope you are having a great day. I'm sorry this is coming at you later in the day than usual but I only just finished reading the book a couple minutes ago. It has taken me a while to read the book as a lot of books have lately but it isn't because I didn't like the book it is just because I have been so busy with school. I am off next week so I am hoping to get a chance to catch up on some reading then. Also, I am sure some of you are noticing that I am reading books lately that aren't very well known books. As apposed to the teen books or popular books I used to do I have been doing other types of books. This is because I think it is great to look at other books that one doesn't always see and I am always looking to help out authors when they ask me to check out their book for them.  With that out of the way let me tell you a bit about the book: A man is called to the side of the Goblin King to be hired to retrieve a sword that was stollen
