Book Reviews by Lynn

Review 6 out of 5Helen Hamilton lives on a small island in Nantucket where nothing much ever happens. So when she hears that there is a new family moving there, she is curious about them. But when she meets the Delos family for the first time, she is consumed by rage and tries to kill Lucas. Trying to understand her reaction to the Delos family, Helen begins to delve in to her family's past and the mysterious curse that surrounds her.I fell in love with this book! I had heard it was good, but I didn't realise how good it was until I read it. Helen is an awkward, shy 16/almost 17-year-old teenager who sort of reminds me of me at that age. She has one best friend, Claire. I just love the camaraderie between the two of them. But when Helen meets Lucas, sparks don't just fly, there's a brushfire! Lucas's character is to die for! He's gorgeous! I wasn't sure how Josephine would bring these two characters together, but she did it with panache. I loved the way she managed to make the story so believable, it's as if the Gods from Olympus are actually still alive and well. I can't wait to find out what happens next! I have already pre-ordered my copy of Starcrossed: Dreamless, which is due for release at the beginning of July.
