Summary:
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 his own blood–but she has no idea what a truly monstrous secret that night held.

The memories her family has tried to bury resurface when Daniel returns, three years later, and enrolls in Grace and Jude’s high school. Despite promising Jude she’ll stay away, Grace cannot deny her attraction to Daniel’s shocking artistic abilities, his way of getting her to look at the world from new angles, and the strange, hungry glint in his eyes.

The closer Grace gets to Daniel, the more she jeopardizes her life, as her actions stir resentment in Jude and drive him to embrace the ancient evil Daniel unleashed that horrific night. Grace must discover the truth behind the boy’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 is a story with a little bit of everything mixed in. Not only did it have a wide variety of characters but it had a wide variety of messages. Messages about forgiveness, friendship, and the true meaning of love. It was more than I ever expected to get out of the book.

Of course, there were some other characters but they weren’t as important. Well I guess they were all important to the story but those three were the most important to me. The other ones just didn’t have as big an impact on me.
