The Dark Divine Sneak Peek - Chapter 2

We’re so glad you’ve all been enjoying our exclusive excerpt of Bree Divine’s debut, The Dark Divine. This week we’ve got chapter two for you, as well as another giveaway. Keep those emails coming to Elissa@rtbookreviews.com, to enter for a chance to win a copy of the book and a snazzy bottle of matching purple nail polish. Winners will be announced each Friday leading up to the book’s release on December 22.

Here's what Bree has to say about writing the second chapter of her book:



I had three objectives when I wrote chapter two. The first is that I wanted to introduce the ideas of secrets and promises — themes that are explored throughout the book. Grace’s inability to keep a promise is one of her greatest flaws, and something she is going to have to come to terms with during the story. The second idea I wanted to explore is what it feels like to look for someone who has disappeared. One of the three people Daniel was loosely based on was my first boyfriend who mysteriously vanished off of the planet one day. I know how it felt like to look for him everywhere I went for the next year, hoping to bump into him, thinking I’d seen him from a distance … only it never turned out to be him. The third objective was to show the reader how Daniel’s reappearance into Grace’s life — even for only a few minutes — has started to cause problems for Grace. I like to think of it as foreshadowing for the much more serious trouble, and secrets, that are about to be exposed with Daniel’s return.

Love,
Bree Despain
