(Book Description)
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.
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.
Making matters worse, Helen is beginning to suspect she’s
going crazy. 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. 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. Like her namesake, Helen
of Troy, she’s destined to start a war by falling in love. But even though
Lucas and Helen can see their own star-crossed destiny, they’re still
powerfully attracted to each other. Will they give up their personal happiness
for the greater good, or risk it all to be together?
(Review)
Josephine did a lovely job writing this book! I fell in love
with Helen & Lucas and their Families. I can't say enough good things about
this book really, it has twists and turns throughout the book and keeps you on
your toes. There is never a dull moment! This really is a must read and I cannot
wait for book two!
Helen Hamilton is just trying to make it through high school,
she possesses the power to run faster than most people but that is just the
start. She knows she’s always been different from most kids. When the Delos
family moves onto Nantucket Island, she has the sudden urge to kill Lucas—one
of the Delos boys. The closer she gets to him the more she wants to kill him.
She finally realizes it’s the Fates who are doing this. But after a brief visit with death, both Lucas
and Helen realize the Three Fates aren’t following them anymore. As they get
closer to one another now that The Fates are leaving them alone they start to
fall in love with one another. With The Fates out of the way for now certain people
move in who want her dead, will love be enough to save her?
