If I was to describe this book in one word it would be shit. Complete shit. I was really looking forward to Sweet Evil because everyone seemed to love it. It's always being talked about on my Twitter timeline, and everyone is excited for the release of the second book. Sweet Evil just missed the mark in every single way. I can't think of one thing that I liked about it.

I wasn't a fan of Anna at all. One minute she's being all goody two shoes, and the next she's a rebel. Her characterisation was all over the place in this book. I think if she had developed into a rebel more slowly it would have been interesting, instead the back and forth was annoying. Especially as, ultimately, she's bland and boring and dull... I'm running out of words. She's a total Mary Sue/Bella Swan.
