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.
I kind of hate to admit this, but this book just didn't do it for me. Like, I really wanted to like it, but I just found myself not fully satisfied. It read a bit too MG for me, and I almost put it down a couple of times just because I wasn't that into it. I mean, the writing's fine, the story, pretty good, but I couldn't really get into Grace's head, nor could I find myself interested enough in the story to really care. I certainly liked a lot of the aspects, and this would be one of those books I would recommend to my more religious friend's kids as it has a couple of kisses, but hardly even any swearing. (Not that I mind or anything, it just made the story "younger" in my mind.) Anyhow, I'm just going to chalk this one up to not my cup of tea.
