The Lost Saint by Bree Despain

The Lost Saint (The Dark Divine,  #2)In The Dark Divine, Grace made the ultimate sacrifice to save her boyfriend, Daniel.  Now her brother, Jude, is missing and Grace will do whatever it takes to find him.  With each passing day, the wolf inside her is threatening to come out.  With Daniel growing distant, Grace turns to newcomer, Talbot, for help with her powers.  But a voice inside her head is urging her to give in to her dark side, and Grace isn't sure who she can trust.

I really enjoyed The Dark Divine, and I thought The Lost Saint was just as entertaining a read.  I liked the growth of Grace and Daniel throughout this book (though I felt like maybe Grace changed a bit too much; she definitely wasn't the good preacher's daughter in this one).  Their relationship hit bumps that any normal relationship does, but I thought they both needed to have more trust in each other.  New guy, Talbot, didn't help in that area, and he seems to be giving Daniel a bit of competition.  I liked the addition of Talbot, and I like what Bree Despain did with his character (can Grace trust him or not?), but personally, I remain firmly in Daniel's corner.  He's the guy for Grace, hands down.  The ending was incredible, and I can't wait to read the next book!

This was a great read.  The only thing I really dislike about these books is the font they're printed in. ;)

4/5

Gee, Lisa, you're right up there with Kira and Mom... 10 books in January, yikes!

I really enjoyed this book, as well. I'm not sure I'm a straight-up Team Daniel fan anymore, though. I really liked Talbot, even though I was questioning the entire book whether he was good or not. I'm looking forward to finding out what happens with the Daniel situation and the three characters in the next book.

Yeah, Lisa... 10 books! And you guys thought I was reading too many, but now everyone has caught up to me.
