I liked the suspense and the catching diary-style organization of chapters. The ending was very well orchestrated and original. However, it w..."
I totally get not wanting to read another meh book. I think I will read the next book sometime in June just because they left it way too open for me and I need to know what happens.

Yep, I know what you mean... the ending was very open and I am very curious too...
I need to think about ..."
Let me know if you decide to continue and maybe we can BR it together.
I have read a few reviews and I think that, for now, I'll pass this one...Thank you for this buddy read [even though I joined when you had already finished :)]
40%Not very happy with this, it is a little too plain for my liking, not to mention predictable?
Grace is so annoying for me and seems like the new Bella Swan or something..
The fact that it is taking too long to reveal what is so obvious is bugging me
75% grace makes me laugh she is so ridiculous and I feel like her relationship with her brother is super forced and made up?
90% I kind of regret reading this I didn’t enjoy it till now not a bit but I was told the second book is better so I’ve only got 10% left lol
100%This book was a huge no for me, uncomfortable with the whole idea of Daniel and Jude and Grace and if it were up to me I’d never hear about them again,
Says the girl who just got the second book, ugh :3

I have mixed feeling about this book, but I totally get your disappointment.
Yea I didn’t like the book or the second one honestly but it was an experiment lol anyway thanks for having me with you on the buddy read! It makes it kind of better when you discuss the book with someone and figure out how they feel too
Jumping into this before the month is over. The ratings here scare me a bit though lol
Best of luck on your reading Katrina, I personally didn’t like it but it may be your cup of tea :)

Hey! Did you want to do the second book sometime in June?
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.
