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.

THE BLURB: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'reStarcrossed - another Twilight ripoff.This is a grim mockery of Greek mythology. No, this book is sacrilege. The characters were insufferable idiots, the most noteworthy is Heroine Helen Hamilton (lovin' that alliteration btw). Her résumé: stereotypically shy, awkward, clumsy... oh, and did I mention, she's unbelievably hot? Well, never fear, because Josephine Angelini will remind you several hundred times.All hail "Heaven Hamilton". (Yes, this is actually her nickname.)Please just die already.
Beware of spoilers!Characters:So this is where I went slightly balistic. I'm going to talk about the two main freaks of the book.Helen Hamilton:Grams is a Mary Sue. She's so damn perfect and untouchable that it's difficult for me to relate to her. Tall, beautiful, graceful, heavenly. Hence, her nickname, "Heaven Hamilton." Really? She's quite pathetic really. She whines a lot and can't stand if someone makes fun of her, which reminds me of mostly ever other YA MC. She is also very selfish.
Read more of my reviews at Falling Books! Starcrossed is a book full of fun and action. It's an emotional rollercoaster. It will make you laugh, smile, cry and all the other complicated emotions that I can't explain. Josephine Angelini has created an exciting and dangerous world full of demigods and forbidden love that you can't get enough of.Are you tired of reading about Vampires, Wolves, Fairies, Witches and Angels? Then Starcrossed is for you! If you think you know all the paranormal beings
What a ridiculous and embarassing book. I wont ever read the next books in the series and other books by this author. This book was enough to turn me into a very angry person.Half of the ideas in this book are good ones, the problem is that theyre developed in an awful way. And the authors writing is like the one of a 10-year-old.The dialogue is stupid and incoherent, even adults feel like 13-year-olds. Jerry should be the father? To me it was like Helen was his mother.Characters fell also flat
Alright, I know that I originally rated this book 2.5 stars and, back then, I honestly thought that it deserved that much; I really did. However, a little over a month ago I was given an assignment for my AP class (we were reading the Iliad at the time) to cover the "apology of Helen" as was told in the Odyssey and really her whole life; especially the time when she was in Paris and how she effected the Trojan war. At first I was kind of moaning about it (my GR friends can attest to that) but,
You know what? No.Fuck no!I think rating it 1 star is being extremely generous in this case.What the hell was this?I was warned several times that this book wasn't good, but, like always, I don't listen.I guess I like torture way too much.Oh, boy. Mother isn't going to be happy with that fact.Do I even have to explain why this book was terrible?Yes?Well, I know I'm writing a review, but do I really have to--?YES!!Okay, fine. Let's get this shit started.Shit, that felt good.PLOT:T-there was . . .
