Logan is hiding away in his father's mansion. He can't shake the horrible images of the day he almost murdered Gwen while he was under Loki's spell. He has no intention of going back despite his feelings for Gwen because he refuses to put her in further danger. Sequestered in the mansion, he gets lonely and his thoughts turn to Gwen, but he won't take her calls. At least Logan is attempting to repair the relationship with his father. All too soon the Reapers come calling and Logan gets some devastating news. Will Logan return to the girl he loves?What I Liked:*I was very much looking forward to getting inside the sexy Spartan's head. I enjoyed learning how Logan really feels for Gwen since their romance is so full of ups and downs. I also liked seeing him try to work on a better relationship with his father. With Logan, there is always fighting and I am always amused at how he quickly thinks to turn anything into a weapon. Needless to say, the tiny amount of time spent in Logan's world was interesting and fun.*I was glad that I now have a better understanding as to why Logan abandoned Gwen without even saying goodbye. He is suffering from Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and I am certain that this will be an ongoing issue in the next book, that means that the romance will likely be strained again...sigh... at least I know why and I am prepared going in to Midnight Frost.*Even though this novella is short it still packs a punch. There is an exciting Reaper fight scene full of all the action and danger that you love in Mythos Academy. There are some insights into some scary things to come.And The Not So Much:*I say this every time, but novellas never do it for me. They just get going and end. That is what happens with this one. There is a thrilling fight scene and then a frightening phone call that indicates something very bad has happened, and then the the story ends. A big fat cliffhanger at the end of this short little read.*I don't understand why Gwen is on the cover. Why didn't we get a cover with the hot Spartan? This is Logan's point of view and Gwen isn't even in the story.*This novella though fun and entertaining doesn't really provide much needed information aside from learning how Logan thinks. You can certainly skip it and move right into the next book without missing a beat.Spartan Frost is a fast read that will take you into Logan's world and help you understand the dangerous, sexy Spartan a bit better. If you are a fan of the series than this will be a must read, but it isn't necessary to read it before going into Midnight Frost as there isn't really anything of great importance.Favorite Quotations:"And, hey, bacon made everything better.""This---this was what Spartans did. We fought. We battled. We raged. And I loved every single second of it."I received a copy of this novella from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and I was not compensated for this review.Posted @ Rainy Day Ramblings.
