How do you defy destiny?Helen Hamilton has spent her entire sixteen years trying to hide how different she is—no 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 together—and trying to tear them apart.
Since i read the Percy Jackson series i have been searching for another demigod series and starcrossed was perfect. It was more grown-up and a lot more frustrating. As the name implies, the two main characters are starcrossed. It took me a little while to figure out why but when i did it make me love the book even more, because it was so interesting but also hate it more because i couldn’t figure out how they would get out of their problem. The book is a very original take on an ancient Greek myth.
Helen is very special but she doesn’t know why and since she’s the narrator it keeps the reader guessing. A lot of books that I’ve read lately have built up to an ending that never manages to live up to the rest of the book but starcrossed is different. The book just kept getting better and left me thinking that there might be a sequel. I hope it comes out soon because Starcrossed left some important unanswered questions.
Starcrossed has a cleverly woven plot, some funny, irritating and violent moments. I kept thinking that i had understood the whole story and that the book was coming to an end when the book would change completely and keep going on.
I haven’t loved a book like this in a long time and wish i hadn’t finished it so quickly!
