Scoot’s Review:
Grace Divine never knew what happened between her brother and their friend Daniel all those years ago. All she knew was that they were never to speak of it and that Daniel was gone. In a family where giving off the image of perfection is a must, Grace struggles to stay within the confines set for her. When Daniel mysteriously reappears in their lives Grace can’t stay away. She wants to repair the rift between Jude and Daniel and make her family and Daniel feel whole again. What Grace doesn’t realize is exactly what kind of danger she is getting herself and those around her into. I was pretty much hooked on this book from page one. I ended up staying up late into the night reading it because I just couldn’t find a good place to set it down! It was a great read – fast paced, mysterious, and heartrending at times. I liked Grace’s personality and that she really respected her family and loved them. She didn’t always like them or do exactly what they wanted, but she loved them. I enjoyed the romance; the mystery of Daniel and the pace felt comfortable and right. I also liked the paranormal twists of the book and the new world elements that were built. The story kept you on the edge of your seat until the very end. Needless to say I was extremely happy to have the second novel, The Lost Saint right on hand when I finished because I wasn’t ready for the story to be done!

I love books with a strong family unit! It looks like all of the elements work well together; hopefully I'll have a chance to get to this soon.
I finally got book 1 so am really looking forward to starting this series.
