Dreamless

Dreamless continues the story of Helen Hamilton, a shy girl living on Nantucket Island whose desire for an ordinary life was thwarted when she discovered she is a Scion, a descendant of a Greek god and a mortal. Each Scion has a power, and Helen’s is the ability to travel to Hades. Helen is determined to use her talent to stop a war amongst the gods and change her destiny, which is to live a life patterned after that of the tragic Helen of Troy. But her quest may cost her Lucas Delios, the boy she loves.

Okay, I'm going to start this review by saying that if you haven't read the first book in this trilogy - don't read this. 

I didn't get the same feeling about this book as for Starcrossed. Even though it's about greek gods and demigods, it sometimes felt like it was too unrealistic. It's still really good and even though it's about 500 pages - it's a quickread.

I think this book gives us a better understandning for the characters, especially Helen's friends Claire and Matt. I got really annoyed at Jason in this book because of his overprotection of Claire but other than that - I like them all. Angelini introduced a new character as well, Orion. The hot, nice guy who makes Helen really confused. I hope to see more of him in the third and last book in the trilogy.
