Book description
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.
Review
First off, I adore all things to do with greek mythology so when I saw this; I had to buy it. The cover drew me in as it's so beautiful! I read this book a long time ago and didn't write a review at the time, but it is still one of my favourite books. The plot was interesting and I found it easy to connect with the main character Helen and all the other characters. Although it is quite a long book; 500 pages was the perfect length for the story to develop properly.
Throughout the book I was laughing, sitting on the edge of my seat in anticipation waiting to see what would happen next, if Helen or Lucas would do this or if they would do that. Finding this book was one of the best things I could've done.
I can proudly say that I LOVE LUCAS DELOS. He's such an amazing character who we are introduced to near the start of the book. I really got to know him as he developed throughout the book. The only negative thing I could say about this book is that it took me a little while to get into but once I got into it I was HOOKED. I recommended it to my friends and they love the story almost as much as me!
One of my best friends Agrima and I are highly anticipating the third book in the trilogy, 'Goddess' along with eager 'Starcrossed' fans. June is too far away.. :(
I'll be sitting in the corner like a miserable old woman for 5 more months I guess.
