Now that Daniel's returned, Grace must choose between her growing attraction to him and her loyalty to her brother.

REVIEW
I love when I read a book that has been out for a while and I have managed to stay clear of spoilers. That is exactly the case for me with The Dark Devine. I am so glad I got to experience this story as if it were brand new.
There is a mystery swirling all around the people in Grace’s life. There are expectations of how she should act because she is the pastor’s daughter. Grace puts these expectations aside and dives right into the bizarre situation she faces. I love that Grace is brave in the face of danger and criticism. She knows when to question people and when to trust them too.
My gosh, the guys in this book are so mysterious. Daniel has been around Grace’s family forever, but they may not know him very well after all. Grace’s brother, Jude, is acting all weird and now it seems as though he may be hiding something too. So much history and so many secrets!
I was not at all expecting the turns that Bree Despain’s plot took. I was shocked. No, it was more like SHOCKED. The good kind of shocked. I love it when an author can do that and Bree has cornered the market on shock.
The Dark Devine is a beautiful start to a series I most certainly will continue reading.

5 Loved
