Book thirty one, thirty three, and thirty four : Sweet Evil, Sweet Peril, and Sweet Reckoning by Wendy Higgins
“You told some human kid?"
I coughed, buying time. "He's Neph, too."
Jonathan LaGrey went rigid and his ruddy cheeks paled. I squirmed as his eyes bored into mine.
"Which one's his father?" he asked through clenched teeth.
"Richard Rowe. I guess you'd know him as Pharzuph." Oh, boy. He wasn't pale anymore.
"You came across the country-"
"Shhh!" I warned him as people looked over. He lowered his voice to a shouted whisper.
"-with the son of the Duke of Lust?!"
Embrace the Forbidden
What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences?
This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels.
Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn't until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.
Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?
My Thoughts : I had not heard much about this trilogy when I saw Sweet Evil on book outlet. I thought the cover looked pretty interesting. After reading about the book, I decided to add it to my cart. At that time I don't think I had read a book about angels and demons. It arrived and was placed on my bookshelf. . . . . where it stayed . . . . .for months. When I finally decided to start reading it, I ordered the other two books. I was going to have a sweet trilogy binge read!!
Book one was ok. I liked it but I was not blown away. There were moments that just dragged. I also hated the drawn out almost sex scenes. It was so frustrating! Either have sex or stop putting yourself in that situation. I was also not impressed with the ending. I was not excited to pick up book two.
Book two started off pretty much the same as book one. It was good but had these moments where I was completely bored. It took me days just to get through the first one hundred and fifty pages. Finally, I hit page 175. This is where Anna and Kaiden are reunited and HOLY CRAP from that moment all the way to the end of book three, I COULD NOT put it down!
My emotions were all over the place. It was intense, suspenseful, funny, heartbreaking, and so so steamy.
I loved every page!
Anna, is our "good girl". She is half angel and half demon. The thing I loved about Anna is that she fought everyday to stay good. She struggled with temptations everyday, but she choose to fight them instead of giving in. I love that she was extremely easy to relate with.
Kaiden is our "bad boy". He is half demon. His whole life has been to lead humans astray. Leaving them to feel emotions of regret, guilt, shame, and heartbreak. This was all he knew. He believed his destiny to be set in stone, until Anna came along.
The scenes between Anna and Kaiden were so steamy! I had to stop a couple times to cool down. It was so beautifully and tastefully written by Wendy Higgins. Book two seriously had some crazy hot scenes in the kitchen, and the laundry room, and the bedroom just to name a few. I think what made them so intense was the fact that they could not cross that line, yet you could feel had badly they both wanted to.
In book one, I hated this almost sex scenes; however, in book two Anna and Kaiden had such character growth. It was different reading these scenes in book two.
The other wonderful thing about this trilogy was the supporting characters. The way Wendy Higgins allowed each of these characters to grow and develop was beautiful. It showed you the power of family, friendship, and love. It also was amazing to see that each character had to power to change their destiny.
I loved them all.
Despite the slow start, this has become one of my favourite trilogies. The ending was phenomenal!!
I admit that book three had me in tears a lot! It was heartbreaking yet so perfect.
I would recommend this trilogy to those who love a good romance.
My advice would be just stick with it because I promise you will love it!
"I need you to know this is different for me. I've never felt like this with someone. I don't just love you, Anna. I adore you."
