Now in her second year as a warrior-in-training at Mythos Academy, Gwen Frost learns that one of her fellow students is secretly a Reaper who wants her dead.
We join Gwen Frost and friends on the school-wide winter carnival trip. Gwen must once again battle for her life, battle with her feelings, and battle with her conscience. Gwen experiences a lot of growth in this book as a warrior. I like that Gwen was growing into her role and becoming stronger and more self reliant. She also appeared to accept her duties with more conviction than before. Finally, Gwen gets some luck in the social arena. Her number of friends at Mythos doubles by the end of this book. Yeah! This girl needs a good circle of friends.
I enjoy this series. My one complaint: too much info from the previous book is rehashed in this book.
Overall: fun, action-packed, with a little romance and plenty of friendship.
