Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini

Genre: Fantasy
Starcrossed (Starcrossed, #1)Style: Greek and Destiny
Recommended: 13+
Other: First in Trilogy 

If you are interested at all in Greek mythology and magic then this is the perfect trilogy for you. It is based around the idea of Greek mythology, fate and destiny. The series focuses on the relationship between Helen and Lucas who are fated to be together but first have to overcome many obstacles including near death, family disputes and even getting through the underworld. I truly love these books because they are so diverse and seem to contain everything including magic, adventure, suspense and romance.

Blurb:
How do you defy destiny?
Helen Hamilton has spent her entire sixteen years trying to hide how different she is—no easy task on an island as small and sheltered as Nantucket. And it's getting harder. Nightmares of a desperate desert journey have Helen waking parched, only to find her sheets damaged by dirt and dust. At school she's haunted by hallucinations of three women weeping tears of blood . . . and when Helen first crosses paths with Lucas Delos, she has no way of knowing they're destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history. 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.
