When Ariadne helps Theseus kill her brother, The Minotaur, her life is forever changed as she grapples with her decision to defy not only the gods but also her family.

The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes

The Girl with Stars in Her Eyes by Xio Axelrod is a rock-and-roll romance that's just begging you to slip it in your beach bag. Antonia "Toni" Bennette is a guitarist on the verge of her big break. All she needs to do is join an upcoming band The Lillys, and all of her career dreams will come true. Unfortunately for Toni, the band’s new manager also happens to be her small-town ex who left her without looking back.
