Wish List Wednesday (65)
How do you defy destiny?
Helen Hamilton has spent her entire sixteen years trying to hide how different she is—no easy task on an island as small and sheltered as Nantucket. And it's getting harder. Nightmares of a desperate desert journey have Helen waking parched, only to find her sheets damaged by dirt and dust. At school she's haunted by hallucinations of three women weeping tears of blood . . . and when Helen first crosses paths with Lucas Delos, she has no way of knowing they're destined to play the leading roles in a tragedy the Fates insist on repeating throughout history.Why: I think it sounds like a fascinating read, plus I totally love books that are slightly based on myths. Besides who wouldn't want to read a book where the Fates are mentioned in the synopsis. =)
As Helen unlocks the secrets of her ancestry, she realizes that some myths are more than just legend. But even demigod powers might not be enough to defy the forces that are both drawing her and Lucas together—and trying to tear them apart.
Meet Mikoto Misaka, the third most powerful Level 5 esper in Academy City. Together with her best friend Kuroko Shirai and the other members of Judgment, a student-run law enforcement agency, Mikoto delves deep into the dark heart of the scientific sprawl she calls home, and uncovers secrets she wishes she hadn’t!
As word of the all-powerful "Level Upper" begins to spread, Harumi Kiyama and her team of medical experts are called in to investigate a sudden rash of comatose patients. While the medical community refuses to believe in the existence of the "Level Upper," Mikoto Misaka and her friends suspect otherwise.
Why: Because I absolutely loved the first volume, plus there was a slight cliff-hanger/unfinished ARC going on.
My review of the first volume -> HERE <-.
Starcrossed was SUCH A GOOD book! Hope you get the chance to read it!
