Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Mythos Academy is a teen fantasy adventure/romance series by Jennifer Estep. The books in the series are: First Frost (eBook novella) Touch of Frost Halloween Frost (eBook novella) Dark Frost Kiss of Frost Spartan Frost (eBook novella) Crimson Frost Midnight Frost Killer FrostA sequel series has been started, which includes the following books: Spartan Heart Spartan PromiseThe books are about Gwendolyn Frost, a seventeen year old girl whose gypsy heritage has granted her psychometric powers, the ability to read the history of anything - or anyone she touches. One day, she borrows a friend's hairbrush and learns that her friend's stepfather had been sexually abusing her. Once she recovers from the trauma sufficiently to be coherent, she tells what she saw to her mother, a police officer. Her mother investigates, finds enough legally admissible evidence to get a warrant, puts the man behind bars... and is killed by a drunk driver on her way home.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })While still recovering from her mother's death and her inadvertent role in it, her grandmother has her transferred to Mythos Academy, a school where everybody has some sort of magical power. In addition to all the regular classes, she now also has to deal with unusual ones, like mythological history or gym classes where the teacher is more interested in instructing about swordsmanship than sportsmanship. Gwen tries to deal with her classes and her mourning while doing her best to ignore all the stuff about the evil god Loki and his Reapers of Chaos, when a series of events forces her to realize something rather unexpected.None of the stuff covered in Myth-History is fictional.Loki is real, and the Reapers are on the verge of freeing him from the prison the other Gods sealed him into at the end of the Chaos War.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); })And Gwen is the latest hereditary Champion of the Goddess Nike, who had defeated Loki in the final battle of that war. | |

Alpha Bitch: The Valkyries in book one. At the end of the book Daphne realizes how hopelessly shallow and cruel they are, leaves the group, and distributes a number of very cruel emails that their former leader and her number two had exchanged to the whole group, causing the clique to self-destruct. | |

Blessed with Suck | |
| Mythos Academy / int_3c3f28a5 | comment |
Blessed with Suck: Gwen's magic has it's uses, but it also wreaks havoc on her personal life, as she can't touch anyone without reading their minds. She lost her first boyfriend when she kissed him and immediately knew that he'd rather be kissing someone else. Not to mention the hairbrush incident - she got to experience her friend's rape as if it had happened to her. Even worse from that angle, she has perfect recall — the memories never, ever fade. | |

I Want My Beloved to Be Happy: Metis had a massive crush on Nikamedes in her school days, but he was in love with her best friend (Gwen's mother), so she backed away. Twenty years after those two break up, she's still mooning over the guy but Cannot Spit It Out. Gwen eventually gets sick of watching this and spills the beans. | |

Sins of the Father: Nikamedes doesn't get along well with Gwen in the early books because he's still upset about her mother breaking up with him over an argument about their future careers some twenty-odd years previous. He eventually realizes that he's wrong to do so, apologizes, and is much easier on her for the rest of the series (At least, so long as something doesn't happen that is genuinely Gwen's fault). | |

Adults Are Useless: Played with. While the adults frequently make bad judgement calls that cause problems that have to be resolved by the teenaged main characters, these calls are generally sensible from their perspective given the information available to them at the time. On one occasion Gwen gets chewed out for not telling the teachers about a potential threat, as they can't protect people from dangers they aren't aware of. | |

Squick: In-Universe example. One of the things that Gwen hates cleaning up during her shifts at the library is used condoms left behind by students screwing in the stacks. Made squickier than normal by the fact that her psychometry would cause her to see the memory of the couple that was using it while they were going at it the moment she picked them up. She probably knows far more about who's doing what to whom than anyone would want to know. | |
