Waiting on Wednesday is hosting by Jill at Breaking the Spine.
I love Jennifer Estep's Elemental Assassin series and I cannot wait to see what she does with a young adult book. On her website, Jennifer says that she was inspired by the movie 300 and the TV show Veronica Mars. Now, hold the phone everybody - she had me hooked right there. A mixture of the crazy ass Spartans the my favorite female television character of all time.. sounds epic to me :) You can read the first two chapter of Touch of Frost at Jennifer's website.
Book: Touch of Frost (Mythos Academy #1) - Jennifer Estep
Release Date: July 26th, 2011
Genre: Young Adult
Publisher: Kensington Publishing Corporation
Description: 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 I’m determined to find out who killed Jasmine and why – especially since I should have been the one who died..

The Elemental Assassin series is one of my favs - can't wait for Tangled Threads. Definitely going to check out her YA series - she had me at the mention of Veronica Mars.

Jennifer Estep is totally awesome anyway, but the idea that she's decided to write a book that's inspired by Veronica Mars and 300? That's, like, a dream come true. This is one author I'm SO glad decided to write YA.
This looks great. Just added it to my TBR. Thanks for sharing!
