Our Book(s) of the Month, for May 2012, are The Dark Divine, The Lost Saint, and The Savage Grace by Bree Despain!  I absolutely love this werewolf series, and the characters that Bree has created.  You will love Grace Divine, the main character, who happens to be an artist, student, and preacher’s kid.  Her family and friends both make her life fantastic and frantic… Just like your friends and family, right?  The twist is that there are werewolves in her life!
