Publisher's Summary:
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 Im determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why - especially since I should have been the one who died.

I'm Shocked!! It Was Really Good
I got this book because of the author, and honestly i thought it was going to be some teenagers book. But I was amazed how good it was, the plot was a bit different than other books, and there are interesting pointers here and there.
In this book you have all the Gods divided into 2 sides the good and the evil ones. and there are those champions and followers of each god. in this school is for teaching and preparing those kids to follow on the footsteps and the path of their own God.
This is the first book, so basically a lot of character introductions and explanations of what happened in the past and what might happen in the future
So these are the basics, if you like this kind of books that has a countless number of Gods, you will like this one.
More Kids of Gods and Godesses
Same idea as Rick Riordan's books - that the gods and goddesses have kids but with a different twist. In this case they are all training to defeat/hold back the god Loki. The book is part mystery part fantasy.
Estep is terrific!
I love Estep's story telling. She has the ability to tell a good story from a great perspective.
This is the beginning of a new YA mythology series. I love mythology- and and strangely attracted to series that take place at a boarding school. So I was bound to love this story. I think Gwen is a great MC, she's spunky and fun, but a little hard on herself (as are a lot of 16 year old girls)
My one issue is that I solved the mystery a little too quickly. It didn't really bother me though, because there is an overlying series mystery that I'm still guessing at.
Darn I have fallen inlove with another new series.
This book is so much fun with nothing lacking. a great plot, laughter, mortifaction usually on the charactors behalf, action, blood and some good but clean romance. The charactors and the narration of those charactors is amazing. I jumped right on here and ordered the next one after having read the first in two days. I really hope she does more than four. also if you read and like check out this authors adult series the elemental assasin
A Fun Listen!
This was well narrated, with Ms. Sands bringing a bit of something extra to the reading.
The story itself was well written with good characterization and character building, a strong plot that kept to a just-right pacing (neither slow, nor so fast that you had to listen to every single word to avoid confusion).
Folks who have listened to Ms.
