Others in Series: The Dark Divine
Grace Divine made the ultimate sacrifice when she chose to cure Daniel Kalbi and save him from the werewolf. In the process, she herself was infected and ended up losing her brother, Jude, for choosing Daniel over him.
Grace enjoys the time she spends training with Daniel. He's teaching her balance and she is hoping to be able to use her skills for good, and become a true Hound of Heaven. Suddenly, Daniel cuts off her training, becomes distant and begins avoiding her. She suddenly feels that she can't trust Daniel.
When a mysterious phone call comes in warning Grace that someone is coming for her, and the mysterious voice sounds an awful lot like her brother, Grace is suddenly on a mission to find Jude and bring him home.
In the process of hunting down Jude, Grace meets and befriends Nathan Talbot. He knows what she is, and he resumes her training with her. She's able to tap into more power than she ever was with Daniel, and she feels more like a Hound of Heaven. They're is also a voice in her head, one that isn't her own, and it begins leading her down a dark path.
With someone after her, who can Grace trust on her mission? Daniel, who she suddenly feels is holding her back and hiding things from her? Or Talbot, who is urging her to use her powers to be all that she can be?
The cover, with the pop of blue, is very pretty. Although, I must admit, feet kind of creep me out! While I enjoyed The Dark Divine, I enjoyed The Lost Saint just a little more. I liked Grace and Daniel's relationship in the previous novel, but I liked reading about the distrust between the two characters in this book. I've felt the same feelings before, and I could imagine being back in those times where I felt like that... as I'm sure most can. Avoiding phone calls, secrets and lies, hurtful words. It was very well written. Gabriel played a larger part in TLS, giving us some more insight into the werewolf history and how things have worked in the last 800+ years of his life. While I like Daniel, I enjoyed Talbot's presence in this book and I felt myself torn in two as to who I would like to see Grace with. I can't wait to read more about him in the next book of the series. The inner battles Grace had with the wolf reminded me of a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde type of scenario. There was a lot of drama and a lot of emotion in TLS. I was pretty sure I knew what the end result would be, but there were instances where Ms. Despain had me second-guessing myself and I did have receive a couple shockers. Each character had a dark journey of their own they had to take and the ending left me with a bit of anguish. Very well written an a satisfying read. I can't wait to hear more about Ms. Despain's third novel.
4/5
