I read Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini last year and while I liked it, I wouldn't have put it on my favourites shelf or anything. But I picked up Dreamless and I absolutely loved it.
I was playing catch-up for a good chunk of Dreamless, however, so I would definitely recommend doing a refresher on Starcrossed if it's been a while! After all, you don't want to be like me and be saying "So who the heck is Kate?"

When Kat turned fifteen, she planned a con of her own--scamming her way into the best boarding school in the country, determined to leave the family business behind. Unfortunately, leaving "the life" for a normal life proves harder than she'd expected. Soon, Kat's friend and former co-conspirator, Hale, appears out of nowhere to bring her back into the world she tried so hard to escape. But he has good reason: a powerful mobster's art coll...
