Now before I go into full on swoon mode, I want to make sure I talk about the other great things in this book that are not Kaidan Rowe *slaps herself* Must not think about him...Must not think about him...Anna's character was a very strong female lead in my opinion. There was quite a visible growth in her character from beginning to end. At first, Wendy is a very vulnerable character (especially once she starts having feelings for Kaidan) but by the end, there's a bit of spunk in her. Not only does she fight for what's right, but she also has determination in doing the things that need to be done in certain situations (while still having that vulnerable side to her). I don't want to spoil anything, so all I'll say is that there were more than a few scenes that had be impressed with Anna.

The pace of this book was fantastic, and a bit surprising. I like to compare the pace of Sweet Evil to that of a standalone novel. Between Anna and Kaidan's first meeting, and Anna's self-discovery, there was a lot packed into this book (In no way do I think this is a bad thing). I actually loved how well the story moved along because it made it absolutely impossible to stop reading! The plot of the story was also quite original in my eyes. Yes, although it roots from the history of demons and angels, the way it was presented was unlike anything I've ever read.

Now, my lovelies, bare with me as I enter Swoon territory....Departure time? Never! *Muhaha* The romance and chemistry between Kaidan and Anna was, I think, one of the sexiest attractions I've ever read. And I think what sets this book apart from some of the other romances I've read this summer was the "dark" aspect of the story. Kaidan is the bloody son of the Duke of Lust....LUST! How much sexier can it get? Yes, the pairing between Anna and Kaidan might have been predictable, but nothing could prepare me for their sizzling interactions. For the past few nights I haven't been able to start a new novel because I'm addicted to rereading the steaminess that is Kaidan Rowe. Don't believe me? Take a look at that hotness below......*stares in awe*......Your welcome........*Sigh* I really can't see how anyone would be able to resist the steamy connection between Anna and Kaidan *looks at picture again* Seriously.... just look at him.....0_0

This book was unlike anything I have read before and I loved the whole concept of angels and demons. This book follows Anna, who's father is a demon and mother is an angel. Anna is the only Neph of her kind, as all the other Neph are born of a demon father and human mother. We follow Anna as she learns the truth about herself and relationship she forms with other Neph's. I loved how the Neph could see other's emotions as colors and their ability to have heightened senses. I also enjoyed the diff ...more

Anna, oh Anna. Even though she is a good person, she can be very stupid (aka, going to the party with Scott, not realizing that Kaidan loves her and doing the things he does because of it, and that Kopano is just annoying, no fun, and not worth the time.) The story was different from anything that I've ever read because of it being from a demon's perspective rather than just an angel's. I really liked the power that Anna has to be able to see people's emotions, I wish I could do that. Overall I ...more

Omg, I've been wanting to read a book with romance a lot like the ones in Jennifer Armentrout's novels, and also with paranormal elements in it... this was amazing. I have already started Sweet Peril and I'm even almost done with it wow I need mOOORE.

Paranormal romance is my favorite genre, and this book is one of my favorites within that genre. I love the "bad-boy" Kaidan, and the "sweet-girl" Anna, they're amazing characters, not dull at all. I love Patti so much, and Jay. I haven't read that ...more

A really unique interesting take on angels and demons. Anna the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon who is the Duke of substance abuse. She was likeable and sweet and just beginning to come to terms with what she truly is. She meets Kaidan the son of the demon Duke of lust. He is sexy, dark, mysterious...oh and did I mention he has a British accent. I liked the progression of their relationship and the way she could get him to open up at times. Drawn to each other but fighting against their ...more

If you're in the mood for something a little bit cheesy and angsty, this is the book for you! This is full of that! I mean the love interest IS a brooding British guy. I'm not the biggest fan of YA angel books (I mean Hush Hush) they kind of get a bad rep because of all the bad ones out there. But this one was significantly better. Not perfect, but not as crappy as I thought it would be. Not really crappy at all. Pretty good for a YA PNR ...more

This book was actually really enjoyable. The only things that annoyed me were these:
*Anna, the main character, is VERY annoying, but she gets better
*Anna starts crying every second, like, literally
*You can't fall in love with someone in five days. Love, in my opinion, is over time, at least A FEW WEEKS. So yea. Otherwise this is a very fun, fast paranormal romance read! ...more
