The Lost Saint by Bree Despain

Reading Level: Young Adult
(3/2 out of 5)


Can you keep a secret? You can, good because I have a confession to make. I didn't read this book in it's entirety. The Dark Divine sucked me in and I totally enjoyed it. The Lost Saint did not. I'm not sure if it was Daniel pulling away from Grace or Grace being totally absorbed in wanting to be a super hero. I liked the beginning of the book and the end. I didn't love the end because it leaves you hanging but it kept me interested enough to finish it. So I skimmed the middle. Please don't hate me. I will read the third book because I have to know what happens but I hope it's like the first one where I couldn't put it down.

At the end of the Dark Divine Grace had saved Daniel from his curse, was bitten and infected with the curse by her brother, and her brother ran away. In the Lost Saint you find Grace being trained by Daniel to use her curse for good and not evil. Then she gets a call from her brother warning her that she wasn't safe. She wants to find Jude and make her family whole again but everyone is against that idea. Then Daniel and her father are against her training. So she finds someone who will train her but she slowly starts being taken over by her wolf. It doesn't help that Daniel is pulling away from her. Towards the end of the book you understand why Daniel is pulling away and they both fall into a deadly trap. And then you are left hanging by the ending.

Now I'm not saying you won't love this book because you might. It just wasn't doing it for me. If you have read the book please comment and tell me what you thought of it.
