Foretelling Fridays - Goddess (Starcrossed #3)

Goddess by Josephine Angelini

Expected Publication: May 28, 2013

After accidentally unleashing the gods from their captivity on Olympus, Helen must find a way to re-imprison them without starting a devastating war. But the gods are angry, and their thirst for blood already has a body count.

To make matters worse, the Oracle reveals that a diabolical Tyrant is lurking among them, which drives a wedge between the once-solid group of friends. As the gods use the Scions against one another, Lucas’s life hangs in the balance. Still unsure whether she loves him or Orion, Helen is forced to make a terrifying decision, for war is coming to her shores.

In Josephine Angelini’s compelling conclusion to the masterfully woven Starcrossed trilogy, a goddess must rise above it all to change a destiny that’s been written in the stars. With worlds built just as fast as they crumble, love and war collide in an all-out battle that will leave no question unanswered and no heart untouched.

My Reaction: Hi there. First off, how do you say "OMG THAT COVER IS SO GORGEOUS THOSE COLORS." Furthermore, "I LOVE GREEK MYTHS." And finally, "SO MUCH ROMANTIC TENSION." I am nearly paralyzed. I have to say, Starcrossed didn't truly impress me until I read Dreamless and from there....geez. I really can't wait to see what happens between all the Scion houses and Helen and Lucas, and the poor little oracle, and Helen and Lucas, and Orion, and Helen and Lucas, and well yeah. Basically lots of Helen and Lucas.
