Review Detail

I went into this with no expectations, and I fell in love. I really appreciated that Grace Divine comes from a pastor's home and both her home and her private school ring true to me. (I was raised in a conservative home and went to a private school.) I also loved that the supernatural mystery was based in historical documents. Ms. Despain has created a solid mythology that was both thorough and fascinating. Another strong point in the book's favor is the complexity of the relationships between Grace and her family members. (Several of whom are hiding really big secrets that directly affect Grace.)

But what really made this book sing for me was the complicated relationship between Daniel and Grace. Tension, betrayal, loyalty, and love that refuses to quit--it's a lovely, all-encompassing relationship that sucked me in right away!

And the ending! Oh, the ending ... Wow. I recommend this book to anyone!
