4.5 Stars

I’m a big fan of the Sweet series and with very good reason. These books are amazing and I was dying to read the conclusion of the trilogy. Sweet Reckoning was awesome!

The pace of the previous books, especially the second was very slow. Sweet Reckoning is fast paced and has more action than its predecessors. The nephilim are running out of time to face the Dukes and change their fate. They are putting all their players on the board and counting their moves very carefully.

Anna is wonderful, as always. She is afraid, I mean, who wouldn’t? BUT she has faith on what she is meant to do and has a great group of friends that support her. Also, things ended up really good between Kaidan and Anna in Sweet Peril and I was so looking forward to see where it went from there.

Kaidan is, as in any of the other books, extremely protective, loyal, cocky, and handsome as ever. I find so attractive a man that is no afraid to show his feelings. He’s crazy about Anna and he’s not afraid to show it and shout it to the world. Something incredibly exciting happens in Sweet Reckoning and I’m so happy for Anna and Kaidan! This get downright steamy and hot in this book, I’m sure you won’t be disappointed.

I’ve always loved the relationship between Patti (Anna’s adoptive mom) and later with his dad. The rest of the nephilim are all in attendance, Kope, Blake, Zania, Ginger and Marna. Also, Jay, Anna’s best friend, has a bigger role this time around. I’m really fond of all these characters and I really sad that I won’t get to enjoy their story again.

There were two things that prevented me from giving Sweet Reckoning five stars – the lack of the epic battle I was expecting and how the ending was too tidy. However, that doesn’t mean that it’s all happy at the end, so let me just say that I did cry. A bit. I really love Higgins’ writing and I have from the first book. The plot is a bit more intricate as we try to figure out who is good and who isn’t.
