Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1)

by Josephine Angelini

When shy, awkward Helen Hamilton sees Lucas Delos for the first time she thinks two things: the first, that he is the most ridiculously beautiful boy she has seen in her life; the second, that she wants to kill him with her bare hands.

With an ancient curse making them loathe one another, Lucas and Helen have to keep their distance. But sometimes love is stronger than hate, and not even the gods themselves can prevent what will happen . . .

The first book in Josephine Angelini's thrilling series, Starcrossed is a passionate love story that began thousands of years ago in a world of gods and mortals.

Maybe more of a 3.5 star rating, but I'll round it up because I did really enjoy the audio.

I enjoyed all of the Greek mythology in the story, it's what really made me invested in the story. I was on board with the relationship between Helen and Lucas, but after a while I got kind of bored with their 'star-cross love'.

Towards the end I did get a little aggravated because there's this big THING that nobody realizes, but it seems so obvious to me. How can they not put two and two together?! There's like 10 characters under one roof and none of them realize that some things do not add up. So frustrating.

But besides that, I really enjoyed the audiobook, and I will definitely be reading the second book.
