"A family destroyed. A love threatened. An enemy returns.

Grace Divine made the ultimate sacrifice to cure Daniel Kalbi. She was infected with the werewolf curse while trying to save him, and lost her beloved brother in the process.

Desperate to find Jude, Grace befriends Talbot, a newcomer to town. But as the two grow closer, Grace's relationship with Daniel is put in danger - in more ways than one.

Unaware of the dark path she is walking, Grace begins to give into the wolf inside of her - not realizing that an enemy has returned and a deadly trap is about to be sprung."  (Goodreads)
Review

The Lost Saint is a riveting sequel to The Dark Divine. It's hard to hold on to love when it is questioned, trust when everything has changed, and believe when there is something dark stirring within you.

Things have changed for Grace Divine.  For saving the life of Daniel Kalbi, she's the one who have to live with the curse of the werewolf now.  Struggling to adjust to a life with a werewolf inside her and a family still on the edge on finding her missing brother, Jude, Grace only has Daniel in dealing with these changes.  Or is it?

Danger lurks in the corners of Grace's small town and evils of the past starts to emerge.  Grace's inner wolf threatens not only to destroy herself but everything she holds dear. 

I loved how the story came out in The Lost Saint.  The inner conflict of Grace brought out her strength and vulnerability.  She is juggling her responsibility as a daughter, friend, friend, and now a werewolf.  As she tries to take hold of her powers as a werewolf, she tries to make meaning out of it by finding its purpose.  But it's not as easy as it seems because the werewolf curse is dark in origin.

Tension rises in her relationship with Daniel especially when another character, Talbot enters the picture.  Look out for this character because he is hot.  Hot enough to bring tension in more ways than one.  We also see Daniel in a more vulnerable light since he is no longer cursed.  Another interesting character enters the picture, who will bring to light some troubled past and help Daniel and Grace see that their love is stronger than the curse.
