About this book

Emily Roberson's young adult book "Lifestyles of Gods and Monsters" is a fast-paced, innovative read that blends contemporary celebrity culture with Greek mythology. The main character of the story is Ariadne, a 16-year-old princess whose life is continuously in the spotlight. The focal point of the family's entertainment empire is the Labyrinth Contest, a televised competition in which Ariadne guides teenagers through a maze to slay a monster.

Ariadne has to choose between defending her family's dominion and protecting the one life that might be more valuable when the enigmatic Theseus shows up. This unexpected romance and peril is part of her existence.
