Feature Friday

Image
This weeks book chosen for Feature Friday is Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini. I read this book a month ago, and it still makes me think out it! Its great plot and just everything! I really look forward to the sequel Dreamless! Check out this book because its AMAZING:) Check out my review or my Interview with the author Josephine Angelini (link) Summary: H elen Hamilton has always tried to hide how different she is—no easy feat on an island as small as Nantucket, and only getting harder as she finds herself haunted by hallucinations and vivid nightmares. It's not until she crosses paths with Lucas Delos at school that Helen's true heritage is finally revealed. Yet even as Lucas helps her awaken to her startling powers, they can never be together—not unless they can break free from the tragic destiny the Three Fates have in store.

Interview- Josephine Angelini

Hey everyone, all you know that I have recently read Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini. Read My Review HERE I loved this book. It was fantastic and full of action. I loved her idea to use Greek mythology. I was so happy that she was also able to grant me an interview, even with her busy schedule. Here's the Interview: Hope you all like it!! Amanda: What drew you to write YA fantasy? Josephine Angelini: I’ve always loved fantasy.  I’m a long-confirmed geek who grew up reading Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett, Marion Zimmer Bradley, and the like.  I watch shows like TRUE BLOOD, GAME OF THRONES, and THROUGH THE WORMHOLE with Morgan Freeman religiously.  And yes, I realize that the last one on that list is an educational show on the Science Channel.  See?  *Points to self* Geek.  The YA part of my interest came about because I think my writing style just fits inside this particular genre.  And honestly… YA has the most enthusiastic, committed...

Review: Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

I absolutely LOVED this book. It had every element that I loved, about Greek mythology. Angelini has written this story brilliantly. From the first 50 pages, Helen and Lucas grab your attentions with their first look at each other. I knew I was gonna like the book due to its popularity + Mythology:) There were lots of surprises in the novel, also some that shocked me, and wanted me to read more of this great book. I was reading it slowly to understand all the complex relationships in the book. It is easy to understand which character belongs to each house. I thought that was a neat part of the mythology, some of the twists with the Furies, etc. I had a little of a love/hate relationship with Lucas (only once) during one part of the novel with his fight with Helen at one point (if you read it, you know where). But his character was really developed. His relationship with Helen goes way back. I wont give too much away about some of the scenes which were really loveable (wish I had a ...
