goodreads 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.
review:
I can be sort of a sucker for a book where a non human falls for a human, especially if it's a werewolf or a vampire. I was a bit iffy about this at first with all the religiousness, as that sort of thing makes me uncomfortable, but it turned out to be pretty damn good. I read this a lot faster than I thought I would too as I hadn't really felt like reading for the past couple of weeks. Once I got about halfway through I couldn't put the book down, this was exactly what I needed to get out of my little slump. I think most teen girls would love this, especially if they are into the whole paranormal teenage love thing.
