Fans of Cassandra Clare's Mortal Instruments series will be drawn to Wendy Higgins's sexy, thrilling Sweet Evil series. 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 Anna, the ultimate good girl, has always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within. 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?
Great book if you like the paranormal YA genre (I do!). I really liked Anna and felt a connection with her which I don't always feel with the heroine. I thought she was vulnerable but not in a pathetic way. The story is nicely written. I enjoyed the 'romance' or the resistance. It reminded me of the Mortal Instruments series (which I loved). So, if you are into that type of book, you will enjoy this. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because there were parts that just didn't hold my attention-I didn't have trouble putting the book down. For me, a 5 star book is one you read in 1 sitting and this wasn't it for me (but, I still enjoyed it and moved right on to book 2!)
