The Ivy Labyrinth

Brianna is fed up.

It isn't enough for this Ivy Labyrinth and its never-ending stream of challenges to have ripped her away from her loving family and bright future. It just will not stop throwing her into situations with popular asshole, Ash. He keeps making nice with her best friend, Kristy, and discussing academic and logic puzzles like he hasn't spent the last three years goofing off in all of his classes. On top of that, when Kai and Kristy are forced to stay behind after a Sphinx's riddle goes awry, he has the gall to trust her and follow her judgment completely during a dangerous situation. But whenever she tries to have a basic conversation, he blows her off and avoids her like the plague. Well, as much as one can be avoided while being forced together in a maze. As she tries to peel away Ash's layers to find the truth underneath, Brianna finds herself facing her own secrets that she has tried so hard to bury. For the first time, she will have to confront whether or not she could have been very, very wrong about the boy she has despised for their entire educational lives.
