Chronicle To Books The Dark Divine (The Dark Divine #1)
Grace Divine, daughter of the local pastor, always knew something terrible happened the night Daniel Kalbi disappeared--the night she found her brother Jude collapsed on the porch, covered in his own blood--but she has no idea what a truly monstrous secret that night held. The memories her family has tried to bury resurface when Daniel returns, three years later, and enrolls in Grace and Jude's high school. Despite promising Jude she'll stay away, Grace cannot deny her attraction to Daniel's shocking artistic abilities, his way of getting her to look at the world from new angles, and the strange, hungry glint in his eyes. The closer Grace gets to Daniel, the more she jeopardizes her life, as her actions stir resentment in Jude and drive him to embrace the ancient evil Daniel unleashed that horrific night. Grace must discover the truth behind the boy's dark secret...and the cure that can save the ones she loves. But she may have to lay down the ultimate sacrifice to do it--her soul.Declare Books Supposing The Dark Divine (The Dark Divine #1)

I really relish the opportunity to get to know authors better through books. I love Grace the main character and I have a suspicion the apple didn't fall far from the tree. I bet there's a lot of Bree in Grace. Daniel is a wonderful hero and I appreciate the fresh take on werewolves. The characters were really easy to relate to and it had a surprise ending, my favorite kind! Headed to my bookshelf immediately after finishing to search for my copy of The Lost Saint. I feel like I just tapped intoIt was not a bad read. Likable characters. I liked the suspense. The heroine did not hide her feelings for the hero, but it never made her appear desperate or weak. She was honest and I just found it refreshing. She did not play games. The heroine is daughter of a pastor. I was worried that her father was going to be a jerk, but he was not. In this book, he practiced what he preached. The mother was the irritating one. Daniel comes back after three years of being gone. The last time Daniel was
This is such a cheap rip-off of the Twilight series. I won't even begin to go into all of the similarities; it's not worth my time. Suffice it to say, I was consistently rolling my eyes throughout the entire story. The only difference between this and Twilight is that Despain adds a clear Biblical take. It's sad that that is really the only original part of the whole story. This one has officially made my "no-dice" bookshelf on GR. I am so thankful this was a library book and I didn't spend any
i wanted to read it because of the b e a u t i f u l cover too but nevermind
Grace Divine is bossy, rebellious, stubborn, and yet a total good girl - after all, she is the daughter of the local pastor. Her life is filled with homey family dinners and study groups at the library, until long lost Daniel Kalbi returns. Daniel is exactly as Grace remembers him: edgy, aesthetic, and yet mysteriously attractive. As Grace gets pulled deeper and deeper into his world, she finds herself face to face with the terrifying secret he's been hiding from her all along.There's a reason
I LOVED THIS BOOK!Simply put, The Dark Divine exceeded all my expectations. Paranormal, bad boy and ordinary girl - who hasn't seen that before? Well, the relationship in this story was very well-done and evenly paced, and the "paranormal" aspect was so incredibly original and entertaining, so it felt like I was reading something completely fresh and new. Bree Despain's take on werewolves - which I'm sure we're all familiar with - is so INCREDIBLY original and actually makes sense! I remember
