The Dark Divine

DNF at 25%.

The problem with promises is that you've made one, it's bound to be broken.

I thought it was great. It had just the right amount of suspense, romance, and supernatural. This author blends them together in a perfect mixture, and out comes The Dark Divine. It is a great book, and I was blessed on finding it. Have a good read!

Bree Despain is a masterful writer! The Dark Divine is a book that plunks you down into a roller coaster car, tightens the harness and takes off without even giving you a chance to think twice. From the very first page I was hooked and there was no going back!

We meet Grace Divine, her sister Charity Divine and her brother Jude Divine. How much do you love their names? I know I did. They are the children of (fittingly enough) a pastor and have the “perfect family” vibe going on.

Enter Daniel Kalbi. A spectre from their past, and Grace's long time crush. After vanishing, he comes back unexpectedly and Grace finds herself falling for him all over again. Except this time, he's a different person and there is something mysterious about him.

Grace is a really fantastic main character. I have heard others say that she doesn't actually contribute a lot to the story, but I disagree. Following her through the story is intriguing, and seeing how her upbringing affects her decisions is intense. There are so many times in the story that Grace is stuck in a moral quandary and still makes a great decision.

Long story short? Really enjoyed this book!

Writing was above par. I think it helped that I had no idea going into this book what it was about. I just let it roll and it surprised me. Looking forward to reading the sequel.

The Dark Divine was wonderfully enjoyable and refreshingly different. An easy read and engaging plot that had me finishing this book as quickly as I possibly could. read more
