Xio Axelrod

Xio Axelrod is an award winning and USA Today bestselling author who has made a name for herself writing contemporary romances with twisted and strange stories. The author grew up in the recording industry and at a very young age, she started performing, which perhaps lay the foundation for her future career. Because of this, she has an encyclopedic knowledge of popular music.

The best place to start is the Frankie and Johnny series, the earliest of Xio Axelrod's multi-book series: it opens with When Frankie Meets Johnny (2019) and runs to 2 books across 2019–2020, ending with Let the Music Play (2020). Xio Axelrod's other series stand alone, so they can be read in any order.
