Dark Divine #2

My Rating: 5/5

Review: This is the first series in a long time where I actually need the little reminders of what happened in the previous books. I say books, because I'm sure I'll need a refresher by the time the next in the series comes out. I generally tend to read older series so that I don't have to wait anxiously for the next book to be released. The Dark Divine series is a happy exception. I love how the author makes Grace's world seem so real. She has real teenage problems, like waiting to have sex and whether or not she should go to college. There's a definite Christian element here that is unusual for paranormal books. I find that interesting. In this sequel, Grace now has the potential to become a wolf, but her boyfriend, Daniel is trying to help her keep that from happening. But Daniel has a strange issue of his own to deal with, and Grace ends up feeling cast aside. Enter the mysterious flannel clad Talbot who rescues her and starts training her himself. Only Talbot seems to be encouraging the wolf instead of helping her keep it at bay, and Grace soon has a battle she may not be able to win. In the midst of all this, Grace's brother, Jude, is missing, and everyone he once cared about is trying desperately to find him. Great action, cool characters, and a cliffhanger at the end will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat.

Book Description: The non-stop sequel to The Dark Divine delivers an even hotter romance and more thrilling action than Bree Despain's first novel. Grace Divine made the ultimate sacrifice to cure Daniel Kalbi. She gave her soul to the wolf to save him and lost her beloved mother. When Grace receives a haunting phone call from Jude, she knows what she must do. She must become a Hound of Heaven. Desparate to find Jude, Grace befriends Talbot - a newcomer to town who promises her that he can help her be a hero. But as the two grow closer, the wolf grows in Grace, and her relationship with Daniel begins to crumble. Unaware of the dark path she is walking, Grace becomes prideful in her new abilities - not realizing that an old enemy has returned and deadly trap is about to be sprung.
