“What if there were teens whose lives depended on being bad influences? This is life for sons and daughters of fallen angels in Sweet Evil.

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 will-power is put to the test. He’s the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.

A cross-country trip to meet her father forces Anna to face the reality that hope and love are not options for her kind. When she confronts her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?”

There are many books I’ve had read through out my life time and adored. This book is one of them. I call them The Bomb Diggity. Sweet Evil left me speechless!
One element in the book that really captured me are the world building and rules. I really love how out-of-the-box concepts on angels and demons is run. The combination of  deadly sins, the demons that control each sin is great.I loved the world building of right and wrong. Everything is painted so clear for the reader to grasp and understand.
The characters of this book were all nicely written. Anna is my kind of girl. I love her personality, her strength and her determination to do what needs to be done. She totally reminds me of myself. Like her, and everyone else in the world, I get tempted. What I do is squash it before it gets worse. I laughed at the line where Anna said she did the same thing. And her logic behind it is just what I think as well. Kaidan. I will warn you now that Kaidan is a bad boy that you will totally want to fall for and save. Believe when I say that when you first meet Kaiden your heart sky rockets!
Sweet Evil is an stunning debut that will sweep you off your feet! Ms. Higgins skillfully writes a fresh story that every reader will enjoy. Sweet Evil pulse-tingling intense book that will leave you amazed.
I give it 5 BITES!
Happy Reading!
