About this audiobook

I've battled the Reapers of Chaos before-and survived. But this time I have a Bad, Bad Feeling it's going to be a fight to the death…most likely mine.

Yeah, I've got my psychometry magic, my talking sword, Vic, and even the most dangerous Spartan on campus at my side in Logan freaking Quinn, but I'm no match for Loki, the evil Norse god of chaos. I may be Nike's Champion, but at heart, I'm still just Gwen Frost, that weird Gypsy girl everyone at school loves to gossip about.

Then someone I love is put in more danger than ever before, and something inside me snaps. This time, Loki and his Reapers are going down for good…or I am.

    Outstanding ending to an engrossing series. The narrator does a wonderful job bringing the characters to life. I could tell who was who by the voice without having to be told.

    I'm sad that the series has ended, but happy how the ending was handled. Well done. Everything wrapped up with no questions unanswered. Although, it's hinted that their might be a spin-off book or series featuring Rory, Gwen's cousin.

    Both this book and the series kept me riveted. Great action, relationships, humor, and magic.

    Reviewed by: Rabid ReadsKILLER FROST has everything you could possibly want in a series finale; from the suspenseful build-up, to the end all battle, to every character’s HEA. I loved how Jennifer Estep concluded MYTHOS ACADEMY, and I’m positive that fellow fans of Gwen Frost will agree.This installment is beautifully paced with just the right amount of pages allotted to the story set-up, final showdown, and tying up loose ends. I expected the last fight between Gwen, the pantheon, the reapers and Loki to be epic, and Estep certainly delivered. She took her time detailing every kick, swing, and dodge which transformed this novel’s closing chapters into a live action brawl that unfolded inside my head. I loved that Gwen put everything she has learned about the artifacts from working at the Library of Antiquities to good use to help her defeat the trickster god; it added meaning to her journey thus far and established clear links to all of the previous books.Estep ensures that every character, secondary and main alike, has a role to play in this series conclusion. Logan, Daphne, Carson, Oliver, Alexie, Metis, Nickamedes, Grandma Frost, Rory, Rachel, Nyx, and Vic… they are all by Gwen’s side fighting the good fight. I liked how practically every protagonist got their own version of a HEA; except for Rory—do I sense a possible spin-off in the future? For several installments now, I’ve been speculating about who Raven really is, and what’s the purpose of the stone statues, and this novel answers those questions too. I was blown away by the completeness of this story; I don’t think Jennifer Estep missed a single thing!Gwen doesn’t have it easy in KILLER FROST; she’s overly paranoid about reaper attacks, and has the weight of the world on her shoulders thanks to the added pressure of knowing that she’s the one who’s supposed to kill Loki. Then her grandmother gets kidnapped, and she’s forced to choose between one life and many. Even though the ending may give you heart failure, I have to hand it to Gwen because she really does give it her all and proves herself worthy of being called Nike’s champion. Frost is no longer “that weird Gypsy girl everyone at school loves to gossip about” but a bona fide heroine who should be proud of how far she’s come, and hold her head up high.I will miss Gwen Frost and her crew of misfits, but as a reader, I couldn’t be more satisfied with this series finale. Thank you Jennifer Estep for dotting all your i’s and crossing all your t’s; KILLER FROST is a masterpiece and I can’t wait to see where your writing is going to take you next.

    I thought that this book did a fantastic job of wrapping up an incredibly entertaining series. I have spent the past 5 months working my way through this series and I was eager to see how things would work out. This story had all of the action, excitement, romance, and god/goddess appearances that I hoped to see. I was very satisfied with the way that things worked out.This book picks up shortly after the events of the previous installment. This is the sixth and final book in the Mythos Academy series which I would recommend reading in order. Gwen is just trying to live a normal life but with Loki on the loose, I knew that things wouldn’t stay calm for long. Loki and the Reapers want an artifact so they are all being moved to Gwen’s school so she can use her magic to figure out which one they are after. When they can’t get the artifact, someone Gwen loves is placed in danger and Gwen will do anything to keep them safe.This book kept me guessing. I couldn’t wait to see how Gwen would finally take care of Loki and I loved that there were a few surprises along the way. Gwen has grown a lot over the course of this series and I was impressed by how many now look to her as a leader. Her group of friends was amazing in this book and made sure to support her when she needed it most.Tara Sands has been the voice of this series and has book an amazing job of bringing these characters to life. I love the fact that the character voices have been very consistent throughout the series. I think that she is able to add a lot of excitement and emotion to her reading. I listened to this book for hours at a time and do believe that her narration added to my enjoyment of the story.I would not hesitate to recommend this book to others. I thought that this was an incredibly well-done series that had me reaching for my headphones time and again. I definitely plan to read more of this talented author’s work soon.I received a digital review copy of this book from Kensington Books and purchased a copy of the audiobook.

    I just loved all the books in the series and this was a great finale to the books. There was great action scenes, good build to the end and Estep did great tying up those loose ends to finish the book off. I enjoyed all the characters in the book especially Gwen, Logan, Daphne, Metis, Nickamedes, Grandma Frost and so forth.

    These were a great series of books to read and I would recommend them to anybody who loves the Mythology genre. Jennifer Estep did a great job between mixing the mythology aspect, the action, the drama, the romance, that it just made these a kick-ass series.

    Listened for Review (Brilliance)Overall Rating: 4.25Story Rating: 4.00Character Rating: 4.50Audio Rating: 4.00 (not part of the overall rating)First Thought when Finished: Oh Mythos Academy I will miss you! Killer Frost by Jennifer Estep was a fitting end to an enjoyable series :)Read It File It Review: I really enjoyed my time spent at Mythos Academy and think Jennifer did an excellent job with the last book. All the elements and people I loved made an appearance. She also gave us hope at the end that she might not be done with Rory which made me smile. Overall this was a satisfying ending to a series that I really enjoyed.Quick Audio Thoughts: Narrated By Tara Sands / Length: 9 hrs and 45 mins I listened to all but one of the series on audio. I think each book Tara grew on me and became more of the characters. I really enjoyed her narration and would recommend giving these a go on audio!Final Thoughts: Bye Mythos Academy! May your future calls to champion be equally epic off the page.

    Sad to see this series go. Left the door open for a spin-off series. Interesting use of mythology in teen series.

    As Nike's champion, Gwen Frost has had to come to terms with both her budding powers and school full of other, mythologically derived classmates. In the final installment of this series, Estep does a great job of pulling together threads and characters from all the books to a bang up ending. Gwen has remained as smart alecky as ever and although she occasionally shows that hero flaw of wanting to always go it alone, we see her accept the help her true friends and family when she needs it.

    KILLER FROST is the last book in the Mythos Academy series. All of Gwen's allies are present to help defeat the Reapers and Loki for good. As Nike's Champion it's said that Gwen will be the one to defeat Loki but she still has no clue how and doubts she is any match for him.It was great seeing all the world and character development we have witnessed since FIRST FROST come to a head in the final book. There were plenty of shocks that will throw you through a loop. I don't want to spoil anything and I have said a lot about the series in previous book reviews but know that the pace was great and the final battle did the series justice. It wasn't too short, too easy or without its failures. Everyone was involved, no one was left unscathed and when it was time for Gwen to step up she did so even though she knew the sacrifice to herself would be great. It was fun getting to know Gwen and her friends and I will miss the series but the conclusion was satisfying.* This book was provided free of charge from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

    I know this may sound strange but whenever I get attached to a series that I LOVE it can take me up to months to finish the last book. As soon as the book hits my hands I will leave it on the shelf with my stomach FULL of anxiety. Literally. My mind entertains the thought of just having the guts of picking up the book and reading it. Seriously, I avoided this book purposely. I love this series. I just could’t bear the thought of it ending. Not to mention I was super nervous.Plot: This story picks up where the last book left off. Gwen has grown tremdously since the start of the series and is ready for a fight. This fight is one that has been brewing since the beginning so you can imagine how hard my heart was beating. The plot moved at a medium pace. Things would go slow and then speed up. At times, I thought, “This is it. The big show-down.” And then nothing. And then once it did hit the big fight I was totally unprepared for it! LOL!!Friendship/Love: Even though in the beginning Gwen kept to herself, over the course of the series she has made some pretty great friends. These friends are loyal and some of the best friends you can find. Not to mention her hottie spartan boyfriend who makes me swoon every time he enters the page. *SWOON* In all seriousness, her friends and Spartan are awesome. They are her rock and keep her going.Ending: The ending is so bittersweet yet it ended perfectly. Gwen has face her greatest opponent and came out on top. Though not without sacrifices. At first, I was scared but it turned out okay. *Glares at author for heart attacked given* (J/K) I love it. The ending is fitting. I’m sad that it is over.This is an excellent series!! If you have not read it, you should. I honestly think this series is one of those “rare gems” that deserves more praise and promotion. In the midst of chaos, Killer Frost provides great action and entertainment. Gritty yet satisfying, Killer Frost is an enjoyable ride that you need to read.

    This is the sixth and final book in the Mythos Academy series. I got a copy of this book to review through NetGalley (thanks to NetGalley and K-Teen for the chance to read this book). I was a huge fan of the first 3-4 books in this series and then I thought the most recent books lagged a bit. However, this book does an excellent job of wrapping up the series and I enjoyed it.Gwen is hoping for some peace, but worried that the Reapers might attack at any moment. Then she is asked to use her psychometry to scan a bunch of artifacts and find out which artifact the Reapers are after. The artifact is a magic candle with incredible healing powers. Gwen and crew must protect this candle so that the Reapers don't get it and heal Loki with it. All of this will lead to the final showdown between the students/teachers of Mythos Academy and the Reapers.This was a well done conclusion to this series. The plot does continue to be a bit repetitive (there are again a number of scenes where Viv jumps barely escapes on her black Roc). The story is also pretty predictable. Gwen honestly hasn’t grown as much as a character as I had hoped. It seems like she is finally accepting her friends’ aid and working as a team. It seems like her and Logan are finally being honest with each other. That is of course until she lies to everyone again and tries to sneak off and do the most dangerous thing she can on her own...again. This is something Gwen has consistently done throughout the series and I wish that she had learned her lesson by now. Gwen does make leaps and bounds in learning to use her psychometry as a weapon and is wielding it with more precision, so that was good to see.Logan has grown a lot as a character. He is respecting Gwen’s power and trusting her to take care of herself. I liked seeing that and liked the way he called Gwen out on her own immaturity at times.There is a ton of action in this book, it is definitely more urban fantasy than paranormal romance. We even get to see Gwen’s grandma get in on some of the fighting. Lots of sword fights and scenes of fighting between the Reapers and Gwen and her friends.The story is incredibly fast-paced and of course we finally get to see that final showdown between Gwen and Loki. Loki is in the story a bit more and, although he is a creepy bad dude, I wish his character had a bit more depth to it….he was kind of 2D throughout the series.The story wraps up beautifully and I enjoyed how everything came together (even if it was fairly predictable). The book is well written, engaging, and makes for a fast read. Estep includes an afterward about this being her first book series that she has wrapped up, she also discusses whether or not there will be future books in this world.Overall a great conclusion to this series. There is a lot of action and the story is fast paced. The book was a quick read and well written. I do wish that some of the plot elements has been less repetitive and that the story had been a bit less predictable, but I still enjoyed reading it. This whole series is recommended to those who enjoy young adult urban fantasy with mythology in it.
