What this book is about
Helen Hamilton has always felt like she doesn't belong in her small Massachusetts town — but the arrival of the Delos family triggers visions, impossible strength, and a hatred for Lucas Delos she can't control or explain. Josephine Angelini's YA novel draws on Greek mythology to build a paranormal romance in the tradition of the genre's YA peak — sweeping, romantic, and mythologically rich.
