Starcrossed (Starcrossed #1) by Josephine Angelini

I love the cover. Honestly. I just wanted to get that off my chest. So. The Book. I really like Hector. I know. He's not one of the main characters. So what? I also like that Lucas is related to Hector, because in Troy he was his brother. Helen has some pretty funny thoughts and is very likeable as a character. So, should you find this in your TBR pile in the future, I hope you pick this first.(Unless of course, you see a better book.)

Here's 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'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.
