(Mythos Academy #5)
By Jennifer Estep
Expected Publication: July 30th 2013
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 …

My Review:
* I received an eARC from Netgalley in exchange of an honest review.
I continue to be a fan of this series, but like almost every other series out there, there comes a point it's at a standstill. This book started becoming very stereotypical by the first few chapters. I can resume this book in a few lines and still tell you every sordid detail that the author included.
On to the characters: a) Logan was a coward for doing what he did, but most will arrgue that he had reason behind it. I disagree. He took the cowards way out; b) It's been 5 books, you'd think Gwen would get confidence by now, she's Nike's Champion for christs sakes!; c) More secrets Grandma Frost? Really?
I only thing I seemed to really enjoy in this book were Vic's one liners. They make up most of my favorite quotes for this book. I can't forget to mention Nickamedes and his overreactions for his books (I'm like that as well so I agree 100%).
Like always Vivian and Agrona get away and return to fight and lose and the cycles starts over. This is getting quite annoying. They seem to come out of no where and almost kill Gwen, when suddenly some miracle happens and BOOM! someone saves Gwen.
I will continue to read the next few books, because I really want to find out how Gwen and her gang will destroy Loki. But by this point, it's getting hard to believe she can do it at all. So good luck to her.
Favorite Quotes:
"You are making it impossible for me to get in my mid-afternoon, pre-killing-Reaper nap".
"Apparently, I have to translate as well as stand guard. My work is never done".
"You're really going to talk about how awesome you are at a time like this?".
