Midnight Frost Excerpt and Giveaway!

Oh guess what is being published today? Midnight Frost! So, to celebrate Jennifer Estep has given me a excerpt to whet your appetite and a giveaway (US only).

MIDNIGHT FROST EXCERPT:

     The room was dark, so I hit the switch on the wall. Lights blazed on, revealing the same furniture that all of the kids had. A bed, a desk, some bookcases, a flat-screen TV mounted on one of the walls. The only thing that was different about the room was all the trophies he’d won. Dozens of little gold men holding swords, spears, and other weapons peeped out at me from the desk, the bookcases, and a shelf above the bed. There was even a life-sized trophy stuffed in the corner, a staff clutched in his hands like the man was about to step forward and bash me over the head with it. I shivered and looked away. Somehow, the fact that none of the trophies actually had distinct faces made them even creepier.

     A loud sigh sounded, and I realized that Vic was awake. The sword had gone to sleep, as was his habit when he was in his scabbard. I pulled the sword free of the leather and held him up so that we were face-to-face. The sword glanced around the room.

     Vic sighed again. “Really? You’re going to come in here and mope again?”

     “I’m not moping,” I said in a defensive voice.

     “Really?” Vic asked again, his voice made even more sarcastic by his biting English accent. “Because I think that sitting on the Spartan’s bed and staring at his things definitely qualifies as moping. Brooding, even. Especially when you’ve done it a dozen times since he left.”

     I looked out over Logan’s room. Maybe Vic was right. Maybe I was moping over the Spartan and the fact that he’d left Mythos—that he’d left me.

Midnight Frost 
Mythos Academy #5
by Jennifer Estep
Here we go again …

Just when it seems life at Mythos Academy can’t get any more dangerous, the Reapers of Chaos manage to prove me wrong. It was just a typical night at the Library of Antiquities — until a Reaper tried to poison me. The good news is I’m still alive and kicking. The bad news is the Reaper poisoned someone else instead.

As Nike’s Champion, everyone expects me to lead the charge against the Reapers, even though I’m still hurting over what happened with Spartan warrior Logan Quinn. I’ve got to get my hands on the antidote fast — otherwise, an innocent person will die. But the only known cure is hidden in some creepy ruins — and the Reapers are sure to be waiting for me there …

  2. I love Vic! Always there to give a kick to Gwen to force her out of her (very few) funks. This was really the only moment of moping over Logan, and I could have just hugged her for how she handled everything. SUCH A GREAT SERIES!

  5. It all started when I found First Frost in July of 2011, waiting for First Frost wasn't bad since it was just a month or so away. With First Frost I've been hooked and have to have them all- not in e-book, nope, these have to go in my library!!! Love this series and can't wait to read it as soon as I buy it tomorrow!!!!

  9. I absolutely love the Mythos Academy series! I have all of the books except for this one, and I’m dying to read it. The end of Crimson Frost left me with a lot of unanswered questions. :D

  15. Hmmmm..... Why do I want to read this book... Such a challenging question... It's mostly because of the ending of Crimson Frost... I lied the only reason I want to read this book is because I need to find out if Logan comes back! This question is killing me!!
