Summary:

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.

I am so excited to announce that we got our The Dark Divine Street team goodies this week!! We'll be posting some fun give aways. Along with the goodies came the ARC. I read the book in a day as I couldn't put it down. I was hooked from the beginning when I read the first 17 pages here http://www.breedespain.com/TDDsneakpeak.html.

**This is SPOILER FREE**
Grace Divine is part of a tight knit family, who help everyone they can, are do gooders in their community and hold no secrets, or so Grace thought. When a child hood friend, and someone who was once consider part of the family returns nothing will be the same.

When Daniel returns (team Daniel right here!!), things start getting weird around Grace's town, and a dark Divine secret won't be kept secret for long. Grace and her close brother Jude's relationship becomes strained, her parents are hiding something from her and citizens in her town turn up dead. What evil is really lurking in her town? All things point to Daniel. Grace can't fight the pull and attraction she's always had for Daniel and since he's returned it's that much more intense. Even worse, her family has forbidden her to ever see him again after he left a couples years ago. There's something about him that Grace can't fight.

Daniel is one tense character that you'll be so drawn to, you can't help but sucked into this story, as you want to know more about him and what he's hiding. Buckle up and enjoy the ride Bree takes you on as Grace is on a mission to make things right with her family, her town and with Daniel, but everything comes at a cost. Who's life will Grace's mission be to save? Not everyone is who you except them to be.

This book is full of twists and turns and kept me glued to the book until I finished it. Nothing is what you except and the end will leave you wanting more. This hasn't been released yet and I'm already dying for the sequel.
