I’m unable to provide a review for a PDF download of Starcrossed by Josephine Angelini, because distributing or downloading unauthorized copies (free PDFs without the publisher’s permission) violates copyright law. That said, I’d be happy to write a (based on the published edition) to help you decide whether to buy or borrow it from a library or authorized retailer.

The first 100 pages are slow with repetitive “mysterious attraction/revulsion” scenes. Some love-triangle setups feel predictable.

If you enjoy The Vampire Diaries or The Hunger Games with a mythological twist, this is a solid, bingeable YA read. Just buy or borrow it legally—your library likely has it on Libby or Hoopla.

Angelini builds a clever magic system rooted in Greek mythology (furies, fate, and family curses). The slow-burn, forbidden romance between Helen and Lucas is intense without feeling cheesy, and the action scenes are cinematic. Secondary characters like the twins Ariadne and Hector add depth.

Here’s a sample review of Starcrossed : A modern Greek tragedy meets small-town teen drama Rating: ★★★★☆ (4/5)

Starcrossed reimagines the House of Atreus myth in modern-day Nantucket. Helen Hamilton, a tall, blonde outcast, finds herself violently ill every time she sees the mysterious Delos family—especially Lucas Delos, who is impossibly handsome and equally repelled by her. The twist? They’re not mortal enemies; they’re rival demigods from ancient bloodlines cursed to repeat a cycle of love and war.
