A young warrior-in-training faces high school, romance, and a host of magical foes in the New York Times bestselling author's YA urban fantasy novel.
I've seen so many freaky things since I started attending Mythos Academy last fall. I know I'm supposed to be a fearless warrior, but most of the time, I feel like I'm just waiting for the next Bad, Bad Thing to happen. Like someone trying to kill me—again.
Everyone at Mythos Academy knows me as Gwen Frost, the Gypsy girl who uses her psychometry magic to find lost objects—and who just may be dating Logan Quinn, the hottest guy in school. But I'm also the girl the Reapers of Chaos want dead. The Reapers are the same bad guys who murdered my mom. It turns out she hid a powerful artifact from them before she died. They think I know where it is, but this is one thing I can't use my magic to find. All I do know is that the Reapers are coming for me—and I'm in for the fight of my life.

      In Estep's third Mythos Academy novel, Gwen Frost not only fights but causes more trouble than ever in a mighty clash of titans. The psychometry gift that has earned her the title of Gypsy takes on new dimensions when Gwen investigates an enemy from the last book. Her best friend, Daphne, whom readers know well at this stage, also undergoes a surprising ripening of her preternatural abilities. Estep's ingenuity in devising strains of sorcery with which to endow her characters expands to drive her story forward, and set the stage for unprecedented obstacles and revelations. Where the author has previously shielded Gwen from malevolence so dark it would tarnish her soul, she now pitches Gwen into the abyss. Readers will thrill to participate in Gwen's transformation: She must accept the greatest responsibility yet possible in the battle of good vs. evil that the gods, goddesses and their magical mortals wage. Gwen also faces a difficult choice that a discovery about her recently murdered, and dearly missed, mother further complicates. The outcome is a secret Gwen keeps from friends and even from Logan, her Spartan heartthrob, who finally shares secrets of his own and titillates readers with his admirable ardor. The strongest installment thus far--Estep delivers. (Urban fantasy. 12 & up)

      Grades 7-10 Gwen Frost, a high-school sophomore, has a special interest in the Helheim dagger, the final artifact needed to release archvillain Loki from his underworld prison. Her mom hid it before being murdered, and if Gwen doesn't find it first, Loki will be free to wreak havoc in the modern world. The third entry in the Mythos Academy series is more of the same, but that's by no means a bad thing. Estep's combination of romance, action, and mythology will continue to appeal primarily to middle-school girls who can start here or at the beginning of the series.(Reprinted with permission of Booklist, copyright 2012, American Library Association.)
