My Thoughts

When I read THE LOST SAINT last year, it was a serious emotional roller coaster for me. I don’t do well with love triangles, so I was a little worried about how everything would turn out with THE SAVAGE GRACE and whether I could handle the roller coaster I was sure to experience. Fortunately, I survived and I loved the book. I thought it was a perfect ending for the series.

I loved the book so much because the ending was a good fit for the series. It went exactly where it needed to go with the happy and the sad. I cried several times because some bad things happened to characters I was hoping would come out unscathed. The ending didn’t feel contrived or unrealistic. I also liked that Bree didn’t tie up all the loose ends.

I especially loved all the themes explored in this series–redemption, forgiveness, love, power, selfish love, etc. It added to the depth of the story. I also loved the characters. I loved that Grace grew into her powers and didn’t rely on the guys to do everything for her. I also loved that the guys around her, including her father, trusted her and didn’t try to stop her from getting involved and using her powers. They encouraged her to be strong.
