It's All Greek to Me
Alex thought she was just having a normal vacation to Greece. After a night of partying, she wakes up in a motel, alone. Just as she remembers her night with a mysterious Greek bad boy, she opens the door to the hall and finds him dead. Working under the radar, she searches for the killer with help from her friends and siblings.
Zoe thought this was the beginning of everything for her. She wakes up in bed the morning after her wedding night and finds her husband dead. Fearing for her own life, she hides him and begins to search for his killer throughout Ancient Greece with help from the gods and goddesses.
