Greek Nonsense YA Trilogy Gets The Million+ Payday
“In Starcrossed, which brings Greek tragedy to high school, a shy Nantucket teenager named Helen Hamilton attempts to kill the most attractive boy on the island, Lucas Delos, in front of her entire class…. The murder attempt does have an upside though, as it ultimately leads to Helen’s revelation that she and the local heartthrob are, in fact, playing out some version of a weighty ancient love affair…. So Helen, like her namesake, Helen of Troy isn’t going crazy, she’s destined to start a Trojan War-like battle by being with Lucas. This then begs the unfortunate question: should she be with the boy she loves even if it means endangering the rest of the world?”
-WELL? SHOULD SHE? Josephine Angelini just got paid in the seven figures for this three-book series. ON THE PLUS SIDE: no fucking vampires!
