The Dark Divine by Bree Despain

…I don’t read many YA paranormal romances; they’re just not my thing because they focus on teenage relationships — something I’m glad to be done with. So, I’ll admit right off that I only read Bree Despain’s The Dark Divine because I had a free copy of the audiobook, we needed a review for this website, and the plot sounded different enough from the others I’ve read that I thought I might like this one… I did find some of the elements of The Dark Divine to be refreshing… Though Grace’s situation is a little different than most of her fellow YA protagonists’, this wasn’t enough to set The Dark Divine apart from the rest of its class… It’s all been done so many times before and, frankly, I just thought it was dull… Though the faith and redemption theme is intriguing, I was mostly bored by The Dark Divine, so I’m not going to find out where Bree Despain is going with it. Mostly this series seems like just another angsty teenage paranormal romance. Read the rest.
