The Lost Saint follows the story of Grace Divine. This story continues with Grace trying to search for her brother Jude and how she is trying to balance school, friends, boyfriend,as well as helping keep her family together. Grace is challenged with whom she should trust and if she can trust in herself. Bree Despain does a great job in telling Grace's journey.
I loved this book. Despain brings a great story to the world of young adult paranormal literature. The Lost Saint held twists and turns in it that kept me on my toes and wanting to read more. Despain did a wonderful job and I can't wait to read the next book. I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in werewolves without too much sappy romance or obnoxious characters.

I bought this book last year when our local Border's was going out of business. I thought I would immediately remember The Dark Divine, but didn't feel like I did so I put the book to the side with the intention that I was going to find and reread the first one. That never happened and the other day I was inspired to pick it up again. It read so fast and was so full of action! Part of the first one came back to me, but even without knowing everything this was an enjoyable stand alone novel.

Grace is getting frustrated by the long absences of her father as he searches for her missing brother Jude who has succumbed to the wolf infection, her mother who has become a zombie in her quest to find her son, and her boyfriend who seems to no longer want to help her come to grips with the powers she now has. Her best friend hasn't been speaking to her for ten months and everyone at school is whispering behind her back and with her new super hearing she can hear what they have to say about her. Things change when she and her friend April are rescued at a local gaming bar by Talbot, a new guy in town, and the religion teacher at school quits making way for a new teacher who is different than any teacher they have had before!

At times I had trouble following the different species of supernatural origin, but I could see Grace growing stronger and embracing her powers in her quest to find Jude and return him to ehr family. This was a well written book that seems to lend itself well to another book in the series. It s hows how we can be blinded by our course of action and miss things along the way and how it can be hard to know who to trust.

****MAY CONTAIN SOME SPOILERS, NO MATTER HOW VAGUE.****

Ooh,I felt a whole jumble of emotions when I was reading this book!

I never doubted Daniel though, not even for a second. I knew he must have had a good reason for being so secretive. I never douted Talbot, either. Well... Okay, maybe I doubted him for one eensy weensy second. He definitely throws an interesting twist into the story, especially after what he said to Grace towards the ending!!

And I can't believe that Daniel......to Grace when they were locked up together! Awwwww!!!!

And I'm not sure if I want to hug Jude or smack him. SO much of the bad stuff that happened was his fault, but he seemed so sad and broken, I can't help but feel a little sorry for him.

I can't wait for the next book, especially after that ending. It's going to drive me crazy until I find out what happens next!!

Sweet and shortly, in The Lost Saint by Bree Despain; I was undoubtedly and continuously frustrated with our dear miss hero-- Grace Divine,

in that situation where the heroine does everything she's NOT supposed to do up until the climax point of the story

but in contrast

Bree Despain blew me away with this sequel to The Dark Divine that started it all

with her well-known and uncanny talent to. never. ever. be. predictable.

with every weave of this and that tidbit of the story and every odds against Grace and Daniel, just waiting around the corners of the pages ready to strike, The Lost Saint delivers multitudes of shockers until the last and ultimate ending.



Recommend this book to: Everyone.
