The Dark Divine

The Dark Divine (#1)

"Atmospheric and compelling, Despain’s first novel will be popular, and a sequel eagerly anticipated. "

Booklist

"Despain's first novel mixes romance and the supernatural and offers true love as the ultimate defense against lycanthropes...the book's thematic investment in faith and sacrifice distinguishes it from traditional supernatural romances."

School Library Journal

The Savage Grace (#3)

"Oh my goodness, talk about a book that had everything I wanted: a bad boy with a dark, tortured past, a complicated romance, and a mystery that made my heart beat in double-time right up to the last page. The only thing I can hold against this book is it robbed me of a night's sleep. Do I regret it? Not one bit. Darkly comic and surprising, this paranormal rises to the top."

Becca Fitzpatrick, New York Times Bestselling author of Hush, Hush and Crescendo

"Bree Despain takes familiar myths and legends and wraps them elegantly around a haunting story of love, loss, family and forgiveness. Beautiful."

Lesley Livingston, author of Wondrous Strange

Into the Dark

The Shadow Prince (#1)

“The alternating perspectives, relatively short chapters, and quickly escalating stakes keep the pages turning. The love story between Haden and Daphne . . . is satisfying, and the book ends with a cliff-hanger that expertly does its job.”

Booklist

“The intersection between the Persephone and Orpheus myths is well done, and Daphne's refusal to be a maid in distress is refreshing. The author also deftly handles family dynamics, and Haden's education on the human world will elicit chuckles. For fans of Sarah McCarry's All Our Pretty Songs, Meg Cabot's Abandon, and Brodi Ashton's Everneath.”

School Library Journal

“[A] smoking-hot romance and plenty of unresolved plot threads should be enough to keep readers looking out for the next installment.”

The Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books

“This new young adult series offers a twist on the tale of Persephone and Hades and will have fans clamoring for more.”

Library Media Connection

The Eternity Key (#2)

“This modern adaptation of the Persephone and Hades myth continues to hit all the right notes. . . Rich world-building and swoon-worthy romance will thrill fans of mythology-based sagas and will keep readers anticipating the conclusion.”

School Library Journal

The Immortal Throne (#3)

"Haden totally makes this book for me -- he's downright delicious . . . That plus the lengths Bree goes to in weaving so many myths together in such a complex way is amazing! A great end to the series."

Sara Raasch, author of the Snow Like Ashes series
