YoungAdult: Dreamless

Now that summer has come upon us I'm so excited to be able to take some time and catch up on my reading. It has been a hectic semester at university, but if all goes well I'm going to be taking my last semester this fall! 

One of the books I plan on reading is Dreamless by Josephine Angelini. It's the sequel to her book Starcrossed. The premise of the story is that when Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry, she realizes that some myths are more than just legend.

As the only scion who can descend into the Underworld, Helen has been given a nearly impossible task. By night she wanders through Hades, trying to stop the endless cycle of revenge that has cursed her family. By day she struggles to overcome the fatigue that is rapidly eroding her sanity. Without Lucas by her side, Helen is not sure she has the strength to go on.

Just as Helen is pushed to her breaking point, a mysterious new Scion comes to her rescue. Funny and brave, Orion shields her from the dangers of the Underworld. But time is running out. A ruthless foe plots against them, and the Furies' cry for blood is growing louder.

As the ancient Greek world collides with the mortal one, Helen's sheltered life on Nantucket descends into chaos. But the hardest task of all will be forgetting Lucas Delos.
