Editorial Reviews

Review

"Oh my goodness, talk about a book that had everything I wanted: a bad boy with a dark, tortured past, a complicated romance, and a mystery that made my heart beat in double-time right up to the last page. The only thing I can hold against this book is it robbed me of a night's sleep. Do I regret it? Not one bit. Darkly comic and surprising, this paranormal rises to the top." -Becca Fitzpatrick, New York Times Best-Selling author of Hush, Hush and Crescendo

"Bree Despain takes familiar myths and legends and wraps them elegantly around a haunting story of love, loss, family and forgiveness. Beautiful." -Lesley Livingston, author of Wondrous Strange

More About the Author

THE SHORT VERSION
Bree rediscovered her childhood love for creating stories when she took a semester off college to write and direct plays for at-risk, inner-city teens from Philadelphia and New York. She currently lives in Salt Lake City, Utah with her husband, two young sons, and her beloved TiVo. THE DARK DIVINE is Bree's debut novel.

THE LONG VERSION
As a kid, Bree would staple folded papers to make her own "novels." As a teen, she wrote stories in notebooks while her friends waited for the next page to be finished. Her teachers told her she should be a writer. But Bree thought only special people could be writers, so as the years past, she settled into the idea of becoming a lawyer or something else just as ordinary.

Bree rediscovered her childhood love for creating stories when she took a semester off college to write and direct plays for at-risk, inner city teens from Philadelphia and New York. With a renewed passion for story, and the young adult audience, she returned to Brigham Young University, filled her schedule with creative writing and literature classes, and started writing stories again. But regular life kicked in, and she soon found herself married with a new baby, working full-time, and with very little writing done.

That's when the universe threw a pick-up truck in her path. The car accident left Bree with an understanding that life was too short to not do what you absolutely love. A few days later, her husband brought home a used laptop computer, placed it by her bedside, and said, "You'd better start writing." Her life has never been the same since.

In a moment of karmic perfection, Bree received the offer to purchase The Dark Divine on the 6th anniversary of the car accident that put her back on the path to becoming an author.

5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing ending March 16, 2012
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
Wow. I think this the best series ending I have ever read. The only reason it got an A- instead of an A+ is because of the many grammatical, spelling, and typing errors that were in my purchased Kindle copy. If this had been an ARC, then I would have overlooked it (obviously), but since it was a finished edition from a major publishing company, I thought that an editor would have looked at it. I've never had this trouble with a book by Despain or released by Egmont before, so I'm not sure if someone sent the wrong copy to the Kindle making people or if the print book is like this as well. However, the story was fantastic.

I have enjoyed this entire series, and while I normally don't like literature that focuses on faith, these books never felt preachy. The faith is woven into the story, much like any other mythology is used in a story. Therefore, it should appeal to readers of various religions. Also, Grace is just a good character. Sure, she's flawed, and she has to overcome a TON of internal and external battles in this novel, but she grows and she her goodness is always apparent, even when she is struggling. I also enjoyed how we got to know the other characters better, and the secondary characters who have been present throughout the entire novel also evolved over the course of this narrative. After seeing Grace's battle with her wolf first hand in The Savage Grace, I understood the horrible things Jude did in the previous novels. That made me like him much better.

Grace and Daniel's story is a sweet one, but instead of being all sugary, gross, and co-dependent, they always treat each other with mutual love and respect. It's a healthy relationship, which is very uncommon in any YA novel these days.

5.0 out of 5 stars Bittersweet Ending to the Saga... March 16, 2012
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
Two books came out on the same day that I'd been anticipating for 2012, I chose to read the other one first. It turned out to not be nearly as good as this one. This book was amazing, I read it in a little over a day. So this book starts off about one week after the last book ended. Grace is trying to figure out how to turn Daniel back to Daniel before she loses him to the white wolf. And it's making her inner wolf an angry and bitter person...

I love Gabriel in this one, and I loved the "lost boys" the ones who followed Daniel when he turned Alpha at the end of book 2. Grace decided she was their Wendy (Peter Pan) and they were her lost boys. They stayed around Grace like babysitters and all of their fun and unique personalities really shined. There was a lot of sad and traumatic events in this book, there were HUGE plot twists throughout, and an ending I didn't suspect. I don't want to give anything away. There is love in this, there is loss, this was a truly fantastic ending to a trilogy I just wished that all of the bad guys had been caught in the end, however; I do believe that what is left is nothing that Daniel and Grace can't fight through together. Grace's parents, sisters, April, and her parents all returned for this book as well as Caleb, Talbot, and many others.

I think this is the book I really fell in love with Daniel, I also loved Jude. He seemed to be more like the Jude from the beginning of book one. Amazing job Bree DeSpain, I did ask her and she does have another book she is writing I'm unsure if it's a series or what but it is due for publication next fall and I will definitely be in line to read it! I'm so sad to see this trilogy come to an end and cannot wait for more books from this talented author!

3.0 out of 5 stars Good but... October 25, 2012
Format:Hardcover
The Savage Grace is the final book in the Dark Divine Series and it picks up right where the second book left off. Daniel is stuck as a white wolf and Grace is desperate to change him back to the human Daniel she loves. Unfortunately, she isn't quite sure how to accomplish this and she feels that Daniel is running out of time.

Not only does Grace have Daniel to worry about but her problems are piling up. She still has Talbot texting her asking if she needs him and keeping her guard up for Caleb and his demons. Sirhan's death is coming. Not to mention her family problems, both her parents end up in the hospital in this book. Her mom ends up in the hospital because she had a nervous breakdown after she was told the truth by her husband and Pastor Divine ends up in the hospital because of being caught in a bomb blast in the warehouse where Grace and Daniel were captured. Of course there's Jude to worry about too. Grace is hesitant to trust her brother after he handed her over to Caleb so Jude's stuck in a cage in the church basement.

Grace also has to deal with some personal problems, them mainly concerning Daniel. She's angry that because he saved her he's stuck in wolf form when he was suppose to save himself instead and because he's not human he can't be with her. Her inner wolf now talks to her frequently since she lost her moonstone and Grace has to do her best not to give in to her inner wolf knowing what will happen if she does. In addition Grace admits to Gabriel that she has lost her faith in God.

Boy did Grace have a lot on her shoulders in this book but because she faced her problems and dealt with them I liked her as a character in this book. However, and I hate to say it I really do, but I felt she was pulling a Bella Swan in some places in this book.
