Daniel dropped his hands. "You really are afraid of me."
"Isn't that what you wanted?"
He bowed his head. "Gracie, let me fix what I've done. That's all I want. All I care about is you."
Synopsis (from the author's website):
Grace Divine, daughter of the local pastor, always knew something terrible happened the night Daniel Kalbi disappeared—the night she found her brother Jude collapsed on the porch, covered in blood. But she has no idea what a truly monstrous secret that night really held. And when Daniel returns three years later, Grace can no longer deny her attraction to him, despite promising Jude she’ll stay away.
As Grace gets closer to Daniel, her actions stir the ancient evil Daniel unleashed that horrific night. Grace must discover the truth behind Jude and Daniel's dark secret . . . and the cure that can save the ones she loves. But she may have to lay down the ultimate sacrifice to do it—her soul.
My Thoughts:
Wow. What a great story. My niece was kind enough to loan me her copy since she was the one who suggested I read and review it here on this blog (Thanks, Angela).
Awesome story. The cover is kind of interesting. I don't really see the symbolism in how it ties to the book, but once I got into the story--my mind was going. I was excited and absorbed. The story jumped right into the action, and it definitely made me re-think some of the techniques I'm using to write my own story.
Grace was a pretty awesome main character. I loved how strong she was. Although, I did get tired of every using her names (first and last) for puns. But I still loved her. I thought she was strong and well-rounded.
I truly was surprised by the twist. I should've seen it coming. But alas, I didn't. I'm curious to know if there's going to be a sequel.
If you love Twilight, Hush Hush, or any other paranormal romance for teens--definitely check this one out.
Recommendation: PURCHASE!!!! It's at Amazon.
Rating: 5/5 stars
