Interview with Vic and Kiss of Frost Giveaway!!

Ah, yes! I'm so excited to do a interview with Vic my fave character in the Mythos academy books! So excited, I had to make a button just for him! For those not in the know, Vic is a sword gifted to Gwen by the Goddess Nike. I did try to taylor my questions so that no one will have their book spoiled. So, before I squee again, here is my interview with Vic!!

Me: Welcome VIC! I will do my best to calm myself. So, Vic... could you give some background on yourself?

Vic: I’m Vic. I’m a sword whose hilt is shaped like half of a man’s face. I have an English accent. I talk a lot. Actually, some people say that I talk too much. Bloody rubbish, I say. *harrumphs*

Me: Who was Nike to you?

Vic: Nike is the Greek goddess of victory. Really, I can’t say too much about her, just that the goddess and I go back a long, long time and that I have faithfully served her and her Champions for many years.

Me: What would you love to be doing right now?

Vic: Why, fighting Reapers of Chaos, of course. I’m a sword. I live for battle!

But when I’m not out helping Gwen fight Reapers, I like to watch action-movie marathons in my free time.

Me: Would you consider yourself Gwen's sidekick or are you the true hero?

Vic: Well, of course Gwen thinks of herself as the hero, but we all know that a warrior is only as good as the weapon she uses in battle. I think I do my fair share of the fighting.

Me: Best thing in working with Gwen?

Vic: Gwen is a quick learner, and she’s made a lot of progress as a warrior already. I’m looking forward to helping her improve her fighting skills even more.

Me: Worst?

Vic: Gwen always claims that I’m moody, but she’s the one who’s a bloody teenager. You have no idea how boring it is for me to have to sit there and listen to her and her Valkyrie friend, Daphne Cruz, go on and on and on about things like clothes and boys and homework. I should not be subjected to such things. *harrumphs again*

Me: What do you think about Logan?

Vic: Logan Quinn. Now there’s a warrior for you. All Spartans have that killer instinct, but Logan is definitely something special. The boy has a lot of potential, which I hope he lives up to.

Me: What would you like people to know about you?

Vic: Just that you don’t want to get on my bad side … because I’ll cut you to ribbons. *laughs at his own bad joke*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
*laughs* Oh Vic! I don't think you talk enough! Oh and I would NEVER think of getting on your bad side. Keep on snarkin' Vic!!
Btw, Vic also brought a surprise for everyone!

Description:
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...

  5. Who wouldn't want a snarky sword with an English accent. Now that it was mentioned in the interview I am wondering what the relationship between Nike and Vic is, and if it will be explained?
    I'm looking forward to seeing how Gwen progresses in her training w/Logan.

  6. Your blog Melissa looks like a kiss of frost itself - great remake!

    As I can't enter for obvious reasons I would just say the prequel wasn't that bad...

  15. LOL, I thought I was going to find a hot guy and not...a sword. No offense, Vic. I've been spoiled by Missie's My Book Boyfriend posts. :0

    Anywho, I'd love to meet you and see you in action. I'm betting you got some great stories to tell!

    Still, lovely interview, that was just fun to read! Looking forward to catching up with this series myself.

  18. A talking sword??!! How awesome is that! And I must say, I love his accent. I feel a little bad for him, having to sit and listen to the everyday musings of a teenage girl. I seriously love that this book has a talking sword! I really think I need to read it sooner rather than later. :D

  19. I just read First Frost last night and fell in love. I would love to win and read this book, Kiss of Frost. I am adding this to my Christmas List. This series sounds awesome.
    Great interview. I think a talking sword sound very cool. I love the greek gods & goddesses. I have been finding them very interesting and trying to learn stuff about them. The names of them have been coming up in books. I love to learn new stuff and now know who they are when I read.
    Thanks for the giveaway and the chance to win. Great books Jennifer and hope to win. Keep on writing the great books and we will keep reading them.

  49. I've got Touch of Frost waiting to be read, but not this one. Vic sounds like a hoot, yes, I said hoot. I'm heading even further south for Christmas. I'm practicing. A stitch, a scream. Now, I really can't wait to read about him. Maybe I'll read it over Christmas! Maybe I can win this one so I can read the sequel right after! I love doing that.

  53. I like how snarky Vic is, and I like that he's British; though the way his eye opens and rolls around creeps me out a bit, for some reason. :)

    Thank you for the giveaway.
