Women of Greece series by Alex A. King (#3-8)
Requirements: .ePUB Reader, 3.6 MB
Overview: Alex A. King is the author of the Women of Greece series and the Kat Makris: Greek Mafia series. She writes under the kitchen table, in the pantry, and sometimes while hiding behind the couch; basically anywhere her three-year-old can’t find her. Her books are funny because life is funny. Yes, even tragedy is hilarious, especially when it’s happening to your enemies. While her stories are filled with terrible mothers, her own is wonderful. Her mother wrote this biography, by the way.
Genre: General Fiction/Classics > Women’s Fiction
3. Freedom the Impossible (2017)
Long before she became the judge Greece loves to hate (and Germany loves to love) on Greece’s Top Hoplite, seventeen-year-old Effie Makri was not quite "just another" high school drop out …
Effie is fifteen when her father keels over in a vat of olives and her mother tells her it’s time to ditch school and start contributing to the family’s bottom line. Two years later, she’s on her way home from the annual Fisherman’s Festival, when a stranger steps out of the dark and shows her something she doesn’t want to see.
Soon Effie is thrown into the village’s spotlight. Everybody wants to know her story. Everybody includes Nikos Lemonis, the local police detective’s son, a guy hellbent on following in his father’s footsteps. Effie’s had a crush on him forever, and it’s looking like the feeling could be mutual.
But Effie’s entire future, reputation, and new relationship depends on her answer to one important question: Do you see the man from that night?
Yes or no, nothing will ever be the same.
Somewhere between Eat, Pray, Love and My Big Fat Greek Wedding, there’s the Women of Greece series.
4. Light Is the Shadow (2017)
Old bones, they do yearn to float …
For fifty years, Greece has been calling out to Fotini Manitou. But when she fled during the aftermath of a terrible crime, she swore she’d never return home.

5. No Peace in Crazy (2015)
A future together is impossible. A present together is forbidden.

Friendship is their consolation prize, until tragedy rips even that small hope away from them.
Ten years later, a horrific crime brings Irini – now a psychologist – and Kostas together again, giving them an opportunity to rekindle their friendship … and their feelings. And then Irini is presented with a shocking choice, and once again, she finds herself one rumor away from banishment – from her family and from the village that was her childhood home.
6. Summer of the Red Hotel (2017)
For thirty-year-old Kerry her Denver townhouse is the safe zone. Everything else? Lava. There’s a worn path (that might be a slight exaggeration) between her home office and the kitchen. She fritters away her days in front of the computer and buries herself under mountains of work. Sometimes, she wears pants. And her mother expects her to abandon this suburban fortress to vault across the ocean to Greece? Not a chance.
Normally Olga is force of nature. Right now she is in a little bit of a coma, but don’t you worry, this coma is make-believe. She can snap out of it any time she likes. But she worries if she wakes up her son-in-law will come to finish the murder he started, so he can snatch away her beloved Hotel Kokkinou and claim it for himself.
Josh goes to Greece following a woman—his woman. A broken man, Josh has a shiny new collection of regrets and one shot at redemption. But for what? While Kerry, Olga, and Josh work to save the hotel, none of them realizes how close they are to kissing death’s cheek. Whatever happens, one thing is guaranteed: the whole village will be talking about it.
7. Rotten Little Apple (2018)
Thirty-two-year-old Mila Petrova is living a temporary life in Agria, a Greek village that crackles with gossip and secrets. By day she sells shoes to people who claim to have invented the bathtub but can’t muster up enough enthusiasm to use their own contraption. By night, she tries—and fails—to work up the courage to hunt for her brothers’ killers. Fifteen years ago, they murdered a local policeman. Fifteen years ago, a secret and stealthy someone exacted revenge.
When Mila receives a kick in the pants in the form of a letter from her old home, she (finally) launches her quest to ferret out her brothers’ killer—or killers. But she lives in a village where the list of suspects contains every resident’s name, and occupying the top position is the man she is desperately trying not to love.
This will end badly–just ask anyone in the village. Especially Kyria Dora, who has an opinion on everything and everyone.
8. The Last of June (2019)
June Moon is on the verge of falling madly in love with the whimsical, fun-chasing Greek man who fell off a parade float and into her life. He’s (almost) perfect. Until he vanishes, leaving nothing behind except a dire warning on her bathroom mirror—and using her favorite lipstick, too.
Brokenhearted and bewildered, June crams the vital pieces of her life—minus her cat—into a bag and leaps onto the next flight to Athens, Greece to hunt for her missing sweetheart. But in his place she discovers a changeling. This is not the man she knew back in Miami.
Complications pile up. Renegade chickens invade a local market. Cats fly.
The village gossip mill is about to hit warp speed.
