I really loved the whole concept of 'Starcrossed'. As the two are drawn towards each other Helen eventually discovers the secret surrounding the Delos family and as everyone knows, there's a fine love between love and hate. Everything changes when the Delos family arrive on the island and Helen finds herself experiencing overwhelming feelings of hatred towards Lucas Delos feelings that she can't explain and can't resist. For as long as she can remember it's just been her and her father ans she's happy with things that way. She's painfully shy and doesn't have many friends except for her loyal sidekick Claire. The story centres on Helen Hamilton who lives on the small island of Nantucket. Want a book which combines elements of mythology with a sizzling hot romance? Want a book with a stunning plot and fabulous characters? If the answer to both is yes, then look no further than 'Starcrossed' by Josephine Angelini. Will they give up their personal happiness for the greater good, or risk it all to be together?
But even though Lucas and Helen can see their own star-crossed destiny, they’re still powerfully attracted to each other. Like her namesake, Helen of Troy, she’s destined to start a war by falling in love. She soon learns that she and Lucas are destined to play the leading roles in a Greek tragedy that the Three Fates insist on repeating over and over again throughout history. Whenever she’s near Lucas or any member of his family she sees the ghostly apparitions of three women weeping bloody tears, and suffers the burden of an intense and irrational hate. Making matters worse, Helen is beginning to suspect she’s going crazy. Which is terribly inconvenient, not only because Lucas is the most beautiful boy on the island, but also because Helen is so achingly shy she suffers physical pain whenever she is given too much attention. Set on the island of Nantucket, Starcrossed tells the tale of Helen Hamilton, a young woman whose destiny is forever altered when she meets Lucas Delos and tries to kill him in front of her entire high school. Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini, published by Macmillan on 3rd June 2011
