This short is actually about the events leading up to Gwen's enrollment at Mythos Academy. These events are referred to throughout the other books, but are given in more detail and one streaming storyline if you read this first. I, unfortunately, had already read Touch of Frost and Kiss of Frost before I read this.

Apparently I enjoy Jennifer Estep's writing no matter what age level she's writing for. Gwen is a great character. More upstanding by far than the assassin Gin, but still. She's cool, has a nifty power with perks and quirks. It happens to be a power that appeals to my nosiness. It doesn't matter that this is another series set in a school, partially because it works for the story. Partially because Gwen is super close to home and can still go home to visit most days. I zipped through this book.
Obtained: I purchased this from Amazon as I couldn't get it through overdrive. Nor could I obtain a copy of the print anthology Entangled through the library or ILL.

Very brief. Just a quick interaction with the characters on a Halloween night of trick-or-treating. This does not come into the books, so you can read or skip it without any problems.

Oh the romantic tension in this. I had to start this immediately after reading Touch of Frost. There's some repetition, but I get that. Most people aren't reading these back to back. And I thought Gwen could have clued in to a couple factors a bit sooner. But then, I wasn't in the same tortured angst and whatnot that she was, so I can make allowances. Otherwise, Gwen is exploring her powers and her newfound role and what all that means for her. I enjoyed this.

Things are progressing. Gwen's been talked into going on the school trip. She's using her powers more in the new ways she's been learning. She's meeting new creatures that are supposed to be bad, but not taking things at face value. She's still mired in emotional turmoil and she needed to snap out of it because she was missing things I found obvious. Oh, and she's being stalked by a Reaper... bad news.
I look forward to reading the next book in the series, Crimson Frost, once it becomes available (com'on, return it already! Or I might have to try the print copy.).
