Good, but the middle was lacking.

I loved The Dark Divine and was so excited when this one came out. However, the middle was hard to get in to and I found myself skipping chapters and not missing anything. I love the ending, though, and can't wait for the next. All in all, great book.

THE LOST SAINT- A dark and dangerously attractive sequel to THE DARK DIVINE!

Grace and Daniel are back, finally! A big part of the story circles around how the beings that hide somewhere in the lovers Grace and Daniel influence their growing relationship. Their relationship goes in a more intimate and sexy way on the one hand, on the other there appears to be the danger of distance. The relationship between Grace and Daniel is loaded with a lot of tension, which is released over the course of the story, leading to an explosive ending. There are dangerous and dark things going on and I promise you won't be bored by Bree's sequel to THE DARK DIVINE.

This book has a fantastic prologue and ending. The prologue just throws you into the story with a moment of early surprise. Then we get an action-loaded ending, nerve-racking and it made me so curious for THE SAVAGE GRACE. My fingers were tingling for the next book in the series.

The title, THE LOST SAINT, is very fitting and makes up a big part of book two. The search for Jude, the hope for his return. As before Grace’s family is a big part of the story, too. In the second book in this series the religious background of the Divine family isn’t addressed as much as in THE DARK DIVINE.

We meet some new characters, of course, and one of them really made me hate him. There’s also a new guy involved who doesn’t only wake Grace’s interest. He is that hot stranger with a special role in the story. Find out yourselves, you’ll be surprised at how his relationship to Grace develops. I can only say that Bree Despain found exactly the right path. Her writing is awesome!

THE VERDICT

THE LOST SAINT is the fulminant sequel to Bree Despain’s THE DARK DIVINE. I liked the first book, but totally fell in love with the second. It convinces with an even darker notion and more exciting plot turns.

Thrilling Sequel!

The Lost Saint is the thrilling sequel to The Dark Divine, which I read and enjoyed last year. I was really excited to finally read this, and the book did not disappoint.

Most of the characters we met in the previous book; Grace, Daniel, Jude, etc. I liked Grace just as much as I did in the previous book, although she did make some rash decisions in the book. It wasn’t really her fault though; it was the wolf inside her that was taking over. I found myself sympathizing with her as she struggled to cope with the burdens that were placed upon her by her family, friends and Daniel.

The relationship between Grace and Daniel was extremely strained throughout the book. I am not a fan of boys that suddenly have issues and decide their girlfriends are completely incapable of helping them. This is pretty much what happened between Daniel and Grace, which lead to the strained relationship. We do find out what his deal was towards the end of the book, which made me somewhat forgive him, but I still wanted to strangle him through most of the book.

We are also introduced to a few new characters in this book as well; one being Talbot, who is new in town and takes Grace under his wing to train her after Daniel decides not to train her anymore. I honestly didn’t know what to expect from Talbot, and he was definitely full of surprises up to the end of the book.

I really enjoyed the storyline of the book; the idea of the curse and werewolves definitely kept me interested. Although a bit slow in some parts, there was a lot of action in other parts. There was also a lot of religious talk in this book, which may bother some people, but it didn’t bother me. The ending was a huge shock, and I can’t wait to see how the next book plays out.

Overall, I thought this was a really great sequel to The Dark Divine. While I wanted to strangle the characters a few times, the storyline kept me hooked. I’m dying to get my hands on the next book in the series; The Savage Grace!

Chels

This was the best book ive read.its hard for me to get into the book this was amazing! Just like the first one! I WAS UPSET AT THE ENDING OF THIS ONE. I NEED!!!!!!!!!! the third one. HURRY!! LOL

one of my favorite books!!! i love Bree Despain shes awesome;)

Grace Divine is strugaling with her relationship with daniel because she finds him forgeting to call her,blowing her off for no reson except daniel tells her just to be pationt. in the mean time she finds a Tablot a nice guy who is intrusted in her. Is grace going to be pationt or is she going to end up doing something stupid?

A New Grace

The Lost Saint: A Dark Divine Novel by Bree Despain is the second of the Dark Divine novels. The story picks up where The Dark Divine left off. Grace's world is falling apart: Jude is still missing, her father is gone all the time trying to find him and her mother is a mess. On top of all this, she is trying to deal with her newly found strength and anger, while Daniel just wants everything to remain 'normal'. And, in walks the perfect stranger: friendly, handsome, always in the right place at the right time and willing to help Grace find Jude. A recipe for disaster...

I have to admit that I had a hard time reading this book. I was very surprised since I really enjoyed The Dark Divine. I was bothered by Grace's anger and bouts of self-pity. It is quite a turn from Grace of The Dark Divine. Grace, however, is evolving, in more ways than one, and her evolution is painful and hard. It's painful to read as well, but pushing through it was well worth it.

I did enjoy The Lost Saint: A Dark Divine Novel, although it was not at all what I expected. I'm not quite sure what I did expect, but the process of Grace's transformation certainly threw me for a loop. It is a great second segment of the Dark Divine series and I look forward to reading the next.

All saints preserve us!

First and foremost, if you can manage to hold off on The Lost Saint for a little while longer, this is one of those books where you definitely want the 3rd book on the ready before you swallow the sequel whole! This will not be kind to those of us who dislike hanging off cliffs...literally. I am sad to say that I have mixed feelings for this sequel to The Dark Divine after my raving review last month. It just did not move me as much - I was not too impressed with Grace and felt a little disappointed in her behavior this time around. Perhaps it was deliberate on Ms. Despain's part - and I'll grant that Grace's actions might have been slightly colored by the wolf's demon nature and frustration with Daniel's apparent brush-off. However, I thought Grace would react a little bit differently - or had more sensibility to listen to the more experienced who were looking out for her. The Lost Saint definitely takes the story arc to a darker edge and plunges even darker when we reach the final page. To see the toll of Jude's disappearance on the Divine family was heart-wrenching, and I could not help but share Grace's desperation to find her brother and heal their broken family. I am definitely itching for the 3rd book! I cannot believe it ended the way it did, and I am absolutely heartbroken for Grace and Daniel - and how things stand between them! What a HUGE obstacle for this couple! What does it mean?! I only hope that the final chapter of this series is finished next year as anticipated! I don't think I can wait that long to find out what happens to Grace, Daniel, and company!

Wonderful

This bookis so good but i am so mad at grace. How could she do that to daniel. Cant wait 4 the third:) this series is awsome :)becca

Good Follow-Up

I have to say I didn't love The Lost Saint as much as I loved The Dark Divine. The suspense of constantly guessing what supernatural creature was at large wasn't there- I now knew that the big secret was about werewolves. There was also the thrill of forbidden romance taken away since Grace cured Daniel of being a werewolf at the end of book one and he's proved himself to be a good guy. But mostly I think The Lost Saint was just lacking some of the quality of writing that made it's predecessor so good.

The book picks up almost a year after the first one left off. Grace is infected with the werewolf bite and she's working with Daniel on harnessing her powers without giving up control to the wolf. Jude is still missing and the Divine family is falling apart because of Grace's brother. Just when Grace is starting to come to terms with her new life, violent crimes reminiscent of the Markham Street Monster start happening in and around her town. Around the same time Grace meets, Talbot, a young man who's a werewolf like her and who might have answers that link Jude to this new string of crimes.

A love triangle ensues and it felt kind of stilted. It was like Bree Despain knew that love triangles are a requirement of young adult paranormal romances but didn't put a real effort into making the situation plausible. At times Grace got a bit on the annoying side, with her unwavering morals and self-righteousness making her seem more like a saint than a teenage girl. But two-thirds into the book things picked up with some truly riveting rising action. The climax had an explosive excitement that made up for the book's shortcomings and the twists near the end took me by surprise. The book left me desperate to get my hands on the next installment and I would definitely suggest it to people who enjoyed The Dark Divine.

DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! UNORIGINAL PLOT, NOTHING EXCITING UNTIL 1/2 THE BOOK WAS READ. AT THAT POINT I WAS READY TO THROW IN THE TOWEL.

The problem with this book is two fold for me; First: The second book took so long to come out I did not even remember the story line and plot. Second: Th book dragged on and on until finally after about giving up and almost half way thru the book it piqued my interest. I read a lot of books and given the change, I will not longer read books from the author. I want a book that keeps me hanging on, one that I do not want to be left once again disappointed and knowing the series will continue and either I leave it alone or be forced to buy a poorly written book to get to the ending. Please limit it to 3. It is bland and nothing special, all teens books are about true love and supernatural creatures these day. Stop stealing other peoples ideas and write something new for god sakes.
