The Lost Saint

The Lost Saint is the second book in the Dark Divine (series? trilogy?)and means to set the bar for the third book quite high.
THE PLOT:
The book starts about 10 months after The Dark Divine left off. Grace is a werewolf, Daniel is cured, and Jude is MIA. Daniel is training Grace, and they are happier than ever. But this doesn't last. Soon, Grace is receiving cryptic messages from what appears to be Jude and Daniel is keeping secrets and pulling away from Grace. But Grace has a few secrets of her own...Such as she's been training with bad boy Talbot and looking for Jude. But soon, Grace is losing control and Daniel is hiding something huge. Will the wolf consume Grace? Will Daniel's secret destroy him?
THE CHARACTERS:
One thing I really liked about this book was that, essentially, the characters were still themselves. Yes, Grace was a little wilder and angrier, and Daniel slightly less tortured (note the slightly), but they were still true to who they really are, which I was happy about. Jude, however, is another story. That boy is the weakest, most spineless idiot in the book. Isn't there any glimmer of the old Jude left? I'm beginning to be unsure. Another character I would like to make note of is April. I don't know if I want to shake that girl or buy her a neon traffic safety vest. Probably both. Her bubbly girlishness has a tendency to border more on annoying 6 year old than cute at times, but she does provide comic relief,(bedazzled stake, LOL) which is needed in such an emotionally packed book.
OVERALL:
Overall, I would say that this book is a great addition to the Dark Divine books. The writer continues with her lovely writing in this book, fans of the first book will not be disappointed. The scenes were well planned, the characters fully fleshed out, and the emotions were charged. Beautiful! 4.5 stars.
