Review: Dangerously Divine

Dangerously Divine by Deborah Blake
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Second book in this series features Gregori Sun who is one of the three immortal brothers who are no longer immortal. I loved this book because of Gregori and his parents. Ms. Blake takes a serious situation and gives it a sense of humour with a bit of danger. This book can be read as a standalone. Reading the first book in this series will help a little.

When a person is invulnerable and can never die, life is less precious. When Gregori becomes mortal, he learns a lot of his powers which he took for granted are no longer easy to obtain. This self re-discovery journey could be dry - filled with meditation and disciplined training. Fortunately, Ms. Blake does not torture the readers in this manner. Instead, she tortures us with twists and turns that keeps the book lively if a bit frustrating. Gregori meets Ciera. She is a bit of a mystery to him. When he learns more about her and her secret witchy ways, he helps her as she helps him.

From a character perspective, I liked them all. Down to Gregori's obvious and absent father. Whilst Gregori is becoming something different, there is a jealous force trying to eradicate him. Tying in Gregori's history with his mother gives a richness to his character. Instead of just a super hero who rides in on a motorcycle, Gregori becomes more relatable and human. This story does a nice job of showing how children can grow apart and lose contact with their parents. However, this does not mean that they can not reconnect. And that good parents, when a child is in trouble, no matter the age, will still rush to their side to help them. I think this is the part that really made me feel good. Seeing how Gregori may have been all alone, but he really isn't. He has family and they all want to help him become this different person. The love interest definite helps bring him back to life. Recommended to paranormal romance readers who like self discovery themes.
