"Are you... lost?" Someone asked, her tone impatient. I stopped scanning the room to find the woman behind the voice. I blinked. She had the most luminous blue eyes I had ever seen. Even in the dim glow of the bar they glowed brightly, like her pupils were some type of smooth stone at the bottom of a clear blue ocean. Within her blue there flickered tiny speckles of silver, which gave her an icy, somewhat stony appeal. But it was her slight, lopsided smile that erased any signs of wanting to be alone. No wonder this bar was so popular. "Uh, no," I said, holding up the Help Wanted sign I had snagged from the front window. The woman's cool eyes flickered between the sign and me. She didn't say anything, only looked slightly thoughtful as slender fingers raked through her long blonde hair. "What can you do?" She finally asked, definitely not expecting me to be able to do much of anything at all. She'd be right. "Anything and everything," I answered-lied-instantly, hoping I didn't look too desperate, didn't sound too eager. To be perfectly honest, I hadn't worked a day in my life. My hands were used to weekly manicures not hard labor. But desperate times call for desperate measures. The blonde appeared thoughtful again. Those magnificent eyes gave me a once over, slow and steady. You could see the cogs turning in her head as she considered it. I decided to try and sound more convincing. "I have many skills," I added. Okay, so I stole that from Xena, but I was hoping it worked as well for me as it did for her. The blonde lifted a sculpted brow and the smile was, once again, back on her lips. She seemed amused. Maybe she was a Xena fan? "Alright... I'll start you off cleaning the bathrooms, sweeping the floors, doing the dishes..." Crap.

I hate this book even as the writer.*** Samantha Sumner was the definition of "sheltered." During her life, her parents have been babying and sheltering her eyes and ears from the outside world. If you were to ask her what the b-word or what the alternative meaning to a hot dog meant, she would literally believe that they meant "beautiful" and "a delicious carnival treat." However, when her parents die in a fatal car accident, she's forced to move in with her older brother, Jason, where she's forced to finish her senior year at a public school and meet strange new people. Even though Jason continues to baby Samantha, her world suddenly turns upside down as she meets Jason's best friend, the alluring Isabelle Chase. Isabelle Chase is vindictive, outgoing, and absolutely crazy when it comes to girls and partying. So, when she lays her eyes on the completely innocent Samantha Sumner, she can't help but play a dangerous game of cat and mouse. However, falling deeper into a web of lies and toxicity, Samantha's innocence slowly dissolves as she learns how unfair the world can be to not only herself, but to the people that surround her everyday life. A story of relationships, lust, deception, and a tad bit of awkwardness follows the story of a carefree lesbian and a naive eighteen-year-old, ultimately leading to how each person can strongly affect another. ***** WARNING EXPLICIT CONTENT INSIDE DO NOT READ IF OFFENDED BY MATURE CONTENT ****** THIS IS a (girlxgirl) story.

Artemis, the beloved daughter of sovereign Zeus and rich-haired Leto, was born through passion and blessed with gifts. She was also the most beautiful among the Olympians. Her whims and desires could change the course of human destiny. No goddess had more freedom and intriguing life than the immortal huntress. With the rest of her chosen Nymphai, though all are lovely, there is no mistaking which one she is. Artemis with her flowing golden hair and golden limbs is alike her twin brother Apollo, a delighter in arrows and the silver bow. She, too, enjoys the company of beautiful maidens. Though her life was full of adventures and thrills, there were also tragedies. |Lesbian Retelling of Greek Mythology|
