About the Book: Logan Quinn was trying to kill me. My Spartan classmate relentlessly pursued me, swinging his sword at me over and over again, the shining silver blade inching closer to my throat every time. A smile tugged up his lips, and his ice-blue eyes practically glowed with the thrill of battle…
I’m Gwen Frost, a second-year warrior-in-training at Mythos Academy, and I have no idea how I’m going to survive the rest of the semester. One day, I’m getting schooled in swordplay by the guy who broke my heart — the drop-dead gorgeous Logan who slays me every time. Then, an invisible archer in the Library of Antiquities decides to use me for target practice. And now, I find out that someone at the academy is really a Reaper bad guy who wants me dead. I’m afraid if I don’t learn how to live by the sword — with Logan’s help — I just might die by the sword … (goodreads)
My Thoughts: As I said in my review for Touch of Frost (book one in this series) I was anxiously awaiting this release. Working together mythology and a modern day boarding school? Total win. Kiss of Frost picks up right where Touch of Frost left off. Major events start occurring right away. The momentum built up in the relationships in book one continues to grow. I really appreciated that there wasn’t a lot of time wasted recapping everything from book one.
Gwen is still struggling at Mythos Academy but she has began to make more of a place for herself. She trains with Logan and the other Spartans in the morning. This does nothing to to help the major crush she has on Logan who, unfortunately, seems uninterested. Someone else does seem interested… interested in killing her! Seriously. Life as the champion of a goddess isn’t all fun and games! Now Gwen has to learn to protect herself and learn fast!
While I predicted most of the twists and turns I still really enjoyed the story. There were times I was mentally shouting at Gwen but I am sure I would have done the same thing to high school me! Plus there were still a few twists that surprised me. Overall a nice addition to a new series I look forward to continuing! If you haven’t read Touch of Frost I recommend checking it out!
