For a moment, a face flashed before my eyes—the most hideous face I’d ever seen. No matter how hard I tried to forget what had happened, I saw him everywhere I went. It was Loki—the evil god that I’d helped set free against my will.
I should have known that my first official date with Logan Quinn was destined to end in disaster. If we’d gotten into a swordfight, or been ambushed by Reapers, I’d have been more prepared. But getting arrested mid-sip at the local coffee hangout? I didn’t see that one coming.
I’ve been accused of purposely helping the Reapers free Loki from his prison—and the person leading the charge against me is Linus Quinn, Logan’s dad. The worst part is that pretty much everyone at Mythos Academy thinks I’m guilty. If I’m going to get out of this mess alive, I’ll have to do it myself…

So Gwen is finally on her first official date with Logan and of course it gets ruined. Figures.
Logan's Dad shows up (his name is Linus) with a group called the Protectorate (basically the police) coming to arrest Gwen for freeing Loki. They claimed she did it on purpose. Yeah stupid I know. At least with this book Estep is stepping up and getting more creative and way less repetitive. In the next book Midnight Frost she has stopped it all together! I was like HALLEJUAH!
Mkay anyway they arrest her and question her some then send her back to her dorm while they investigate what happened. To keep her from running away they assign a guard. His name is Alexei. He is a son of one of the Protectorate. We also met Logan's stepmom. Him and her have a better relationship than him and his dad do. His dad blames him for his wife's and daughter's deaths. LOGAN WAS ONLY 5 YEARS OLD WHAT WAS HE GOING TO DO YOU MORON!
Anywayyyyyyy the Protectorate performs their investigation while Gwen tries to hide from the student body among her friends Carson, Daphne, and Logan. The Protectorate had announced that they believed that she did everything on purpose and that she was the cause of all the student's deaths. They have their interrogation and guess who show's up claiming she is Nike's Champion??? Vivian....Loki's Champion of course.
Well their way of interrogating is having a snake bite them and if they lie it will bite them again and they will die. The snake knows if they lie. Well miss evil face had gotten some kinda stone of deception and was lying out her nose. So Gwen used her powers to show the snake that Vivian was bad and then the snake kept trying to bite Vivian. But of course the Protectorate said that wasn't good enough. We have some geniuses on our hands guys.
Well somehow we get to the point where they are having a concert away from the academy (of course) and Gwen is to stay on campus with Alexei and not come. Everyone else except for Morgan (Gwen rescued her in the first book) Gwen and Alexei. Gwen calls her Grandmother (cause she's awesome. she has a sword and junk) because Gwen found out who it was in the Protectorate that was betraying them.
DUH DUH DAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was.....Logan's stepmom Agrona. Did you guess right? anyway she put a controlling necklace on Logan and she orders him to kill Gwen!
Well she keeps trying to talk to him, trying to talk to him but his body is under the process of being taken over by Loki. So she does the only thing she can think to do. She gets close and lets him stab her in the chest so she can touch him so she can break through Loki's hold on him. She does it right before everything goes black........she almost died but her friend Daphe's healing power and Metis's (mentor) healing power saved her. Her next mission is to find artifacts to use to fight Loki.
No I don't know why I used that gif. Anyway when Gwen wakes up Logan is gone. He left the academy with his dad because he is afraid that he will hurt Gwen again and that Loki is somewhere inside him waiting to take over again. Poor Logan....And Gwen it's so sad.
And with that I end this review. Don't worry I'll have the next up soon.
