StarHearts, as fans of Josephine Angelini call themselves, will stay up all night reading Dreamless, the second book in the bestselling Starcrossed series. The saga mixes mythology, romance, action, and intrigue in a completely original way.
Dreamless continues the story of Helen Hamilton, a shy girl living on Nantucket Island whose desire for an ordinary life was thwarted when she discovered she is a Scion, a descendant of a Greek god and a mortal. Each Scion has a power, and Helenās is the ability to travel to Hades.
Helen is determined to use her talent to stop a war amongst the gods and change her destiny, which is to live a life patterned after that of the tragic Helen of Troy. But her quest may cost her Lucas Delios, the boy she loves.

What reviewers said
āA gorgeous, haunting saga that completely swept me away.ā
āA supreme mix of mythology, brutal action and heart rending romance. The perfect summer read.ā
āOne of the most cinematic books Iāve ever read. Dramatic and intense! I canāt tell you how many times I gasped while reading this book. Starcrossed plays out like a movie in your head.ā
Romance alternates with fast-paced action from above and below. There is a healthy dose of classical deus ex machine and tantalizing hints of a third book in which all-out war erupts. Dreamless and its sequel will be well-liked by fans of contemporary renderings of classical mythology.
This fantastical dual-world page-turner introduces more abhorrent mythological creatures while reuniting readers with Helenās supportive high-school friends, as well as the crazy Delos family, who anchor her between the real and mythological worlds.
āCompellingā¦Brutalā¦This romantic, action-packed tale will appeal to āPercy Jacksonā fans who are ready for more mature fare.ā
