Synopsis/Blurb: Destiny brought them together.
The gods will keep them apart.
When shy, awkward Helen Hamilton meets Lucas Delos for the first time, she thinks two things: the first, that he is the most ridiculously beautiful boy she has seen in her life; the second, that she wants to kill him with her bare hands.
An ancient curse means Lucas and Helen are destined to loathe one another. But sometimes love is stronger than hate, and not even the gods themselves can prevent what will happen next…
This was a book a friend had gave to me after reading herself, she didn't enjoy it as much as I did, but it is classed as teen novel and she prefers more adult novels. I was intrigued by the blurb as it reminded me of Twilight. Two people fall in love and shouldn't/can't be together. This book is based around greek myth/gods and I don't usually tend to read these kind of books. The furies are the angry gods that try to cause wars between different houses by trying to keep Lucas and Helen apart but they want to be together so much they try to fight the gods I did think when Helens best friend Clair finds out the truth it was a bit of a let down as if I found out my friend could fly and make weird things happen even if I had an idea she was a bit different I would still want to know more. Took me awhile to get into this book but I'm glad I gave it a fair chance and enjoyed it more than I would. The book was written in 3rd person and it made the story so much better, as it could switch to different characters without being confusing. This book is part of a series and I will be reading the others too, as I did enjoy this book so much. I will say this book is more for teens but can be enjoyed by adults too. If you enjoyed twilight you will love this book too.
See you soon.
