Starcrossed | Josephine Angelini
How do you defy destiny? Helen Hamilton has spent her entire sixteen years trying to hide how different she isno easy task on an island as small and sheltered as Nantucket. And it's getting harder. Nightmares of a desperate desert journey have Helen waking parched, only to find her sheets damaged by dirt and dust. At school she's haunted by hallucinations of three women weeping tears of blood . . . and when Helen first crosses paths with Lucas Delos, she has no way of knowing they're destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history.As Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry, she realizes that some myths are more than just legend. But even demigod powers might not be enough to defy the forces that are both drawing her and Lucas togetherand trying to tear them apart.

Second haul from Book Outlet! #bookoutlet #ya #youngadult

Readingismyescape Great haul! I enjoyed The Program. I recently read the Unwind series and I loved it. I jumped from one book to the next and never got tired of it. I listened to the audio and it was great. 6y
DefyingGravityBooks @Readingismyescape I read the first book recently and saw that Book Outlet finally had it. So I just bought it so I could read it again in the future. I will hopefully get to the second soon. 6y

Started so slow I almost gave up on it. Glad I didnt, it blew me away by about chapter three.

I know that many people really love this trilogy. But somehow I didn't end up loving it.

I found Helen to be really annoying and it's always difficult to read a book when you can't stand the protagonist.
The 'love story' between Helen and Lucas felt forced so I didn't care whether they would end up together or not.
And overall I feel like this trilogy could have been finished within two books.

4/10 🌟

An easy read, good for heavy days if you don't want to think much. Sometimes the seesaw between the two main characters and the whole family feud are a bit confusing. I think it was meant to be a greek mythology version of Twilight.

Love this quote from author Josephine Angelini from her appearance on the podcast "First Draft with Sarah Enni" about choosing to pursue your art professionally. Beautifully sums up the internal struggle of many writers.

"What you love the most is the source of your greatest anxiety." Josephine Angelini (Author of the Starcrossed Trilogy)

Also, "First Draft" is a great YA podcast, so check it out.

I normally avoid books with links to Greek mythology, not really my thing but I couldn't ignore the reviews on this one any longer. I really enjoyed this book. I just loved the whole instant hate dynamic between Helen and Lucas followed by life saving, lots of hand holding and an ending that's oh so frustrating, it was a teeny bit predictable in places but it didn't stop me enjoying it, it's very addictive.

New current read. However, it is a second hand copy and it STINKS! I've never had this before... Anyone else?

readinginthedark Read a stinky book before? Hm...well, I couldn't stand Tess of the D'Urbervilles! 8y
sprinkledwithwords @readinginthedark Haha, I meant it literally smells really bad! 😂 I actually quite like it! But I feel your pain, there are a few books I hated too :/ 8y
readinginthedark @sprinkledwithwords How funny! That crossed my mind, but I was like, "Surely not!" Lol Anyway, I've found books that smell before in used bookstores, but I usually don't buy them for that reason. 8y

sprinkledwithwords @readinginthedark Haha, yeah, it's strange! I didn't notice the smell until I opened the cover either!! I kinda got used to it after a while but it was really horrible to begin with... 8y
readinginthedark @sprinkledwithwords Well, I know how that is! I have a four-year-old, so I can usually handle yucky smells long enough to read a good book. 8y
MrBook Nice pic! 😸 8y

Ooh I see it's #FunPhotoFriday day. Q: What do you like to read? I mostly like to read YA para romances but also fiction based on Greek mythology, romance, horror & dystopian. This book in particular, Starcrossed, is a YA series centred around Greek mythology set in today's times. Such a fab series!
