My Review:

This book is about a sixteen year old girl name Helen, who lives with her father and has spend her years hiding how different she is. But that not a easy task when she lives on a small and sheltered island like Nantucket. She dreams to leave the island and have adventure off  the shores of Nantucket. But  when a young boy name Lucas Delos  and his family arrive at her little island, things start to get very strange... Like her trying to kill Lucas on  her first day at school, and the nightmares of a desperate desert journey that has Helen waking parched and finding her sheets damage with dirt and dust. And also at school where she haunted with hallucinations of three women with tears of blood..  As she learns the truth of what she and the Delos really are and that they are descent of Greek Gods, she has no way of knowing that Lucas and her are destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history. So 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.

My Thoughts:

-Another greek mythology book I really enjoyed. This book had it all.... Great plot, story-line and characters.. I really enjoyed the mythology retelling that this book had and the mystery of what is going on with Helen. While trying to search for answers to the truth of why these things are happening to her and discovering the secrets behind what Lucas and his family really are... 

-Now the characters... Helen was a strong will, brave kind of character. She never gave up to finding out the truth... While also falling for Lucas.. And Lucas, was a very interesting character to read and I also enjoyed his family too. With how different and unique they each were, in there own way.... Oh.. and lets not for get Helen and Lucas relationship with one another. It was so strong and true and how far they would go to keep each other safe....

- So yeah.. Very cool book... And looking forward to reading the second book Dreamless next year...

-And I give this book a 5/5 stars...
