Book Description
Tasked with descending to the underworld and killing the Furies, Helen must endure hellish torture whenever she goes to sleep – she wanders around the various levels of hell with no idea how to complete her task, and she’s beginning to suffer from extreme exhaustion. Although she still trains with the Delos clan, Helen and Lucas are coming to terms with the fact that they cannot be together. Lucas believes that the only way Helen will complete her quest is if he leaves her alone completely, so he tells her he doesn’t want to see her again and that he never loved her. Distraught, Helen carries on with her mission, and for the first time meets another person down in the shadowy underworld: Orion, descended from Adonis and with the power to control desire, he is the heir to the house of Rome and an outcast. He’s also kind of hot. Confused by her conflicting emotions but glad to have an ally in hell, Helen begins to realize the enormity of her task . . . THE SECOND BOOK IN THE BESTSELLING STARCROSSED TRILOGY

(What's this?)
Already a fan from the first book, I seriously couldn't wait for this book and Angelini did not disappoint.
We are brought straight back to the both shocking and saddening cliffhanger from the last book that Lucus and Helen are actually cousins. While we know, from Helen's mother Daphne's conversations previously that this is not true, Helen, Lucus and the rest of the Delos clan and everyone else do not and what we witness is heartbreaking in it's entirety as they try to stay away from each other when they clearly still love each other. Star crossed lovers they are - Romeo and Juliet all over again.
While this is constantly in both Helen and our minds every time they are in the same room, or near each other, an important task is now in play. Helen is the Scions only chance of freeing those such as Hector who have been Outcast. The only way thought to do so is to kill off the furies which enrage members of the same house and other opposing houses to attack their own flesh and blood such as Hector to pay a blood debt. Helen is the Descender and is tasked with descending into the Underworld to find a way to set the Outcast's free, but while she has been chosen to do so, she has been dealing with Hell, quite literally and it is taking it's toll on her.
While she constantly wanders the Underworld every night for weeks trying to figure out how to complete her task of saving the Outcasts, she is suffering from exhaustion due to the lack of sleep since every time she goes to sleep she descends. What doesn't help is that while both Lucas and Helen accept that they can't be together, Lucus has taken to cutting her off completely from him in a cruel and hurtful way that see's even the reader surprised....

I got this without realising that this is a follow up.
Unfortunately in the 1st few chapters it was painfuly obvious that i needed to of read the 1st book to figure out what was going on so i am putting this on hold until i do so.

I'm just a soppy romantic so I love this series :-) The writing style is not to complex so it makes it an easy read that you get swept away with.

The first book I read was fantastic, then I bought this as well to see what happened. It was really interesting, and had great characters and plots to it. Looking forward to the third book coming out. Absolutely loved it! :)

Loved this book. It was very enthralling from the very beginning. Written very well and keeps you gripped throughout with lots of twists and turns. Would thoroughly recommend.

I love the whole series. Such a fantastic set of books. You just cant put it down, It ends up being..'I'll just read one more chapter...Just one more' and then before you know it your desperate to get your hands on the next book in the series. I loved it :D

'Her brow wrinkled with worry. She knew that he wasn't exaggerating - Lucas had changed. His face was so pale it reflected the moonlight, and his eyes were a dark blue that bordered on black. It was like looking at the midnight twin of her sunshine Lucas. He was still beautiful, but so sad it was painful for her to look at him.'
This is the second book in the Starcrossed Series by Josephine Angelini. I got this in a First Reads Giveaway, along with the first in the Series. I was really looking forward to reading this one, and It didn't disappoint. Helen's strong character continues to grow in this book. She takes the burden of the World on her shoulders,as her friends seem to be growing apart from her.
I really like Helen's character;she's selfless and stays strong throughout everything that's thrown at her. She's having to balance her 'normal' life of School and Family, with her not so normal life of descending into the Underworld every night. Just when she thinks she's alone, help arises in an unexpected place.
I really enjoyed this book, I feel lucky to have won this book, and to have discovered a new series of books that I love. I can't wait to read the third in the series, and see what else Angelini has in store for Helen and her friends.
