Gwen Frost étudie à la Mythos Academy, une université où se côtoient des guerriers mythologiques, des amazones, des sorcières... Quand Jasmine Ashton, la fille la plus en vue de la fac est assassinée et que la coupe des Larmes, un artifact maqigue est volé, elle semble pourtant être la seule à s'en soucier.
Achat précipité basé sur le nom de l'auteur, je n'avais pas remarqué que l'ouvrage s'adressait aux adolescents. Je l'ai donc entamé un peu dépitée mais au fil des pages je me suis laissé entraîner dans l'univers de cette gipsy girl très sympathique plongé dans une fac très américaine peuplé de jeunes gens avec des pouvoirs surnaturels. Je crois même que j'acheterai la suite mais J. Estep vise les 15-20 ans.

J'ai dévoré la série des Frost, ces livres m'ont fait passé de très bon moments.
L'héroïne, adolescente, est mordante.
L'histoire de Gwen nous fait découvrir un monde de magie et une intrigue dans laquelle on s'immerge volontiers, et qui nous donne envie d'en savoir plus.
Si vous aimez le premier tome, vous pouvez tout de suite acheter la suite :)

Too much sex for a YA .

I like Estep, but she is going to have to tone things down a little if she wants to write succesful YA books. Books, with Teenagers having sex ( I would be more descriptive but my review was turned down the first time, as being obscene and I was just quoting the book) and classmates leaving used condoms in the library, will not find their way into school libraries. This would have been a nice girl version of the Percy Jackon books if she had not been so set on having most of the kids seeped in adult vices (sex, drugs, alcohol). Please, Ms Estep, do some more YA, but write as if your 13 year old daughter was going to read it . I can recommend this book for adults, but I would never recommend it to one of my students. Lucine

Cliched paranormal story
12 août 2011

Format:Broché
Gwen Frost is being forced to attend Mythos Academy, an elite school set apart to train kids who just so happen to be descendants of various mythical warriors. Of course, Gwen doesn't believe in any of the supernatural skills her classmates supposedly possess. The only type of magic she actually accepts is her own and that of her own family. When the school's most popular girl, the icy Valkyrie princess Jasmine, is murdered right in the library next to a stolen mythical artifact called the Bowl of Tears, Gwen is determined to get to the bottom of the entire situation. It's never a good idea to poke your head into other people's business, though. So the results? Who else is to blame but yourself?
"Touch of Frost" belongs to the new batch of paranormal stories that all seem exactly the same, only with different character names and fantastical elements. This novel's back story is a mishmash of tons of various warriors -- from Norse gods to ninjas. While that is certainly a nice idea, it's never really delved into. Except for a few key warrior gods, all the others felt extraneous and were barely mentioned at all.
The characters aren't especially mind-blowing, either. You have the blonde mean girl clique, the quirky and unpopular heroine, and the hot bad boy who falls in love with the heroine anyways; just the same formula used over and over and over again. The character with an actual personality was Vic, the ancient magical sword, who has a grand total of about five lines in the entire novel. That is just sad. A sword beats out all those other full-fledged human characters? Sad, sad, sad.
"Touch of Frost" is quite a cliché, but lovers of stereotypical teen paranormal stories (I know there are a lot of you out there) will devour it with glee.

An Intriguing Mythology that Left Me Wanting More
2 août 2011
Par Mundie Moms/Mundie Kids

Format:Broché
3.5 stars
Touch of Frost is fun read with an intriguing mythology that left me wanting more. I'm a little torn about the book, as there are things I both really liked about it and some things I wanted to know more about. I loved what Jennifer did with her mythology and the way she introduced little bits and pieces of each lore through out the story. She created some great legends about both the Greek & Norse Gods and Goddesses, and tied them into the story via Mythos Academy, a school were the children of Valkyries, Spartan Warriors, Gypsies and more attend to learn about their history and how to control their powers. I liked being able to learn more about the legends at the same time the story's main character Gwen does.
Gwen herself is a character that liked getting to know, but there were times I was a little bit frustrated with her character. I was bugged that being halfway through the story she still didn't catch on to certain things about the school and why she was there, like I had excepted her to. One of the things I did like about Gwen is though she seems to be an outsider, she's not someone who's swayed easily and despite how hard it may be to stand up to the school's Queen Bee and her team of "mean girls", she does. I also liked her wit and the way she handles herself about the resident bad boy and main love interested Logan Quinn. One of the things that kept me hooked with the story was their chemistry. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens between these two in Kiss of Frost.
I liked Jennifer's writing, and I felt the story flowed well. There's a few things I felt that weren't covered as much as I had hoped, but I think those things will be addressed as the series goes on. I liked the murder mystery and how that intertwined with the story's mythology. I found the plot to be both predictable and unpredictable at the same time, and I liked that. While some things were easy to figure out, Jennifer was able to still throw some surprises at me. Though I felt the story read a lot like a teenage soap opera, I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series. I'm hooked on the mythology and the chemistry between Gwen and Logan. I'd definitely recommend this book to older YA readers. There is language and sexual references through out the book and a scene with underage drinking.
