Description:

The third and final book in the internationally bestselling *Starcrossed* series She must rise, or they will fall... Helen's powers are increasing - and so is the distance between her and her mortal friends. To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a dangerous traitor is lurking among them, and all fingers point to Orion. Still unsure whether she loves him or Lucas, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, or risk all-out war. ** ### From Booklist Angelini delivers on the promise of all-out war between the Olympians and Scions (reincarnated demigods) in this Starcrossed finale. With the Great Cycle nearing completion, the Olympians descend and wreak havoc, as Helen’s various new superpowers cause an irreparable schism within the Scions. But readers desiring an answer to the most important question—will Helen choose Lucas or Orion as her true love—need to endure numerous past-life digressions and forays into Helen’s bland new world called Everyland before she makes a decision. Helen ultimately defeats Zeus through trickery rather than sheer explosive power, which is a nice touch. Angelini’s fans will be pleased. Grades 9-12. --Krista Hutley ### Review “Delicious...A clever reworking of Greek mythology.” (Newsday) praise for STARCROSSED: “A gorgeous, haunting saga that completely swept me away.” (Lauren Kate, New York Times) praise for STARCROSSED: “A supreme mix of mythology, brutal action and heart rending romance. The perfect summer read.” (Chicklish (blog)) praise for STARCROSSED: “One of the most cinematic books I’ve ever read. Dramatic and intense! I can’t tell you how many times I gasped while reading this book. Starcrossed plays out like a movie in your head.” (Sophie Jordan, New York Times bestselling author of FIRELIGHT) praise for DREAMLESS: This fantastical dual-world page-turner introduces more abhorrent mythological creatures while reuniting readers with Helen’s supportive high-school friends, as well as the crazy Delos family, who anchor her between the real and mythological worlds. (Booklist) praise for DREAMLESS: “A thrilling tale about love, friendship, family, and determination you won’t be able to resist!” (KidsBookShelf.com)
