Waiting on Wednesday

September 16, 2009

“Waiting On” Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we’re eagerly anticipating.

I love a book with a pretty cover. This week, I am dying to read the Dark Divine by Bree Despain. The cover is just, ugh, perfect. Maybe I’m a little too partial to purple. Here it is:
The Goodreads.com synopsis:
A prodigal son 

A dangerous love

A deadly secret . . .

I stood back and watched his movements. Daniel had that way about him that could shut me down in an instant. . . . I kicked the gravel a couple of times and worked up my courage again. “Tell me . . . I mean . . . why did you come back? Why now, after all this time?”

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.


The Dark Divine hits stores December 22, 2009.

    Ohhh, the cover is okay for me but I like the synopsis. What ancient evil did Daniel unleash and what is his dark secret? Will she have to sacrifice.

    I really want to read your review on this it sounds really, really, really good.

    I look forward to this one!
