Book Blurb- The Lost Saint & My Character

By Bree Despain
Published by Egmont
To Be Released on December 28th, 2010

A Family Destroyed, A Love threatened, An Enemy returns.

Grace Divine sacrificed her should to cure Daniel Kalbi and lost her beloved brother in the process.

Desperate to find Jude, Grace befriends Talbot- a newcomer to town who promises her can help her be a hero. but as the two become closer, the wolf grows in Grace, and her relationship with Daniel is put in danger- in more ways than one.

Unaware of a dark path she is walking, Grace begins to give into the wolf-not realizing that an enemy has returned and a deadly trap is about to be sprung. The heart-pounding sequel to The Dark Divine delivers the same sizzling romance and thrilling action as Bree Despain's first novel (quoted from the back of the ARC).

*Spoiler Free Book Blurb*

Oh how I enjoyed The Lost Saint! As I've said before, I'm not always a fan of the second books in series, as the characters sometimes make choices (that I know the need to make) that make me cringe and more often than not, it breaks the main character and it either breaks up the main love interests or leaves their relationship in jeopardy. This sequel has all that and more. Not only does Bree deliver a darker journey for Grace to take, as she learns to control her inner wolf, but she throws in a few twists and leaves me wanting a whole lot more with her ending.

I really liked that The Lost Saint picks right up from where The Dark Divine left off, and takes right off. There's new characters, a darker plot, twists, romance and lots of action. The Lost Saint doesn't hold back and there's more than just wolves that are roaming the city streets. I definitely recommend pre-ordering this book and I'll be sharing my full review closer to the release date.

In the mean time, you can purchase the e-book of The Dark Divine! From now through Nov 22nd, it's only $2.99. You can purchase it at most e-book retailers/book stores like Barnes & Noble, Amazon etc. AND you can also read about the inspiration behind The Dark Divine HERE.

Can I just take a moment to squee about a new/my character in The Lost Saint?! Last year we had the privilege being on The Dark Divine street team, which meant we helped promote the book's up coming release. It was such a blast, as we love helping promote up coming releases. Bree & her husband made it fun as they had weekly challenges for us to complete. The Grand Prize winner would have a character in The Dark Divine's sequel, The Lost Saint!! Much to my surprise and excitement, I was the grand prize winner!!

It was been so surreal reading my name in a book, and on top of that, meeting my new character, who let's just say she has the hots for Daniel and may or may not inadvertently cause some trouble between Daniel and Grace. I absolutely love my character! I will not spoil anything or giveaway anything away, but I can say my character is the new art student and her name is Katie. It's fun reading the names of some of the other challenge winners/fellow bloggers, one of whom is Stacey from Page Turners.

Thank you Bree for such an honor and privilege, and for making my character so much fun to love!

From Adam & Jay:
We are also having a special Familiars-themed Halloween Scavenger Hunt! At each stop along the blog tour, we will be asking a trivia question from our book. After you fill in your answer, the letter that falls in the place of the * can be placed in the corresponding number of the larger puzzle. So for example, since this is question number 15, the letter that lands in the space where the * is can be filled in where the 15 is in the larger puzzle. The larger puzzle will form yet another clue, and anyone who answers it correctly will be entered into a drawing for an autographed book as well as a few other Halloween treats!

Be sure to visit The Familiars blog at thefamiliars.blogspot.com to find links to all other blog stops and find out where to send in your answers! All entries must be entered by November 15.

Twitter Tuesday - Holly Black


I was so excited when I saw that Holly Black had finished another step in the process of getting Red Glove completed. That's the fun part of twitter, I think, watching all these wonderful stories go through the process from being an idea to actual Release Date.

But I was much more excited when Holly tweeted that she will be releasing cookies (i.e. excerpts) from the book very soon and she wanted her fans to vote on which cookie to release first. Now, you know how Mundie Moms love their cookies?

So go on to Holly's web page and VOTE! Yes, every scene contains Cassel. I'm so glad Holly pointed that out.

Red Glove will be released on April 5, 2011 and amazon.com has it bundled with, what else, but City of Fallen Angels. Two solid choices, don't you think?
