Sweet Peril
(Sweet #2)
by
Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a vow. She’d been naive about a lot of things.
Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party gi ...more

Meet Kaidan Rowe...
Who is he?
The main drummer in a band

Desired by all the girls
Loved by his fans
But he's also an 18 year old boy and the son of Pharzuph, who's the duke of Lust.
And against the rules, Kaidan fell for a half angel-half demon girl, who's the daughter of Belial - the Duke of substance abuse (e.g alcohol, drugs, etc).

Initial Reation:
This book should never be a consideration, just a definite yes, yes, and YES.

Give The Sweet Evil trilogy a chance. The first book did not disappoint and imagine just how freaking unbelievable this one is going to be!?

Yeah, I know! I'm rooting for Wendy Higgins and all my favourite characters here :) Get it, girl!

Ow Kai

I loved being in Kai's head. We can see how much he struggles to be worth of Anna's love.
I love his dirty but fun mind. It's impossible not love him!
He is definitely my favorite male character and I don't think I'm ready to say goodbye to this series.
It can't end it just can't, Wendy!

There are very few trilogies in which the second book is as strong as the first. Even fewer where the second book blows the first book to kingdom come. Well, folks, SWEET PERIL plants Wendy Higgins's series firmly in the latter category.

I was amazed by writing, captivated by story and mesmerized by characters. I LOVED IT! This book is about love and hatred, hope and despair, sins and humanity. Sweet Peril is much more than just ordinary paranormal story. Without exaggerating I can say that this series is definitely the best one when it comes to fallen angels (or angels in general) stories!

'"I need you to be serious."
His blue eyes scorched me. "Oh, I've never been more serious." He leaned his face down to mine, and I wrenched my head to the side.
"You're trying to distract me."
His lips skimmed my neck. "I've no clue what you mean."
Oh, his voice.
"I'm serious," I said, hoping I sounded stronger than I felt.

My Opinion of This Book: I loved it!
___________________________________________
THE GOOD.
⚫Anna Anna has grown so much. In Sweet Evil, she was so innocent, but in this one, we see a whole different side of her. We see this party girl that's so kickass and can defend herself. She's not this weak, naive girl anymore. This Anna is strong. I loved her.

What went wrong?
While the first book Sweet Evil was phenomenal, Sweet Peril seemed to be sort of a letdown. I don't know what to think. There was just too much going on in this book but most of those things are not important I don't think they should be included. The plot progression was a bit frustrating. And the first half was also a bit slow.
Apart from that, I find the forced love triangle quite unnecessary. Don't get me wrong. I lo ...more

I'm officially addicted to this series. I sigh for Kai. I love Kaidan Rowe. This hot fallen angel drummer is absolutely swoon worthy. I have a new guilty pleasure and I feel so dreamy. I'm such a hopeless romantic.
Anyways, Sweet Peril is a great sequel. Anna becomes the good-girl-gone-bad by partying and drinking to please the demon whisperers because it's one way to survive. As a daughter of Substance abuse, she has to work by promoting the sins to people. It's also ...more

Wow, this is even better than book one, the Plot is better and the character development is just so great,the new characters are amazing and the old ones are better, the plot is more intense than the first and everything falls into place. This book is also very diverse, the main characters are all from different races, Wendy really outdid herself there.

I could say I wanted to love this book, but that would be a lie.
You know how some people feel compelled to finish a book, whether they like it or not? Well, I'm like that with series. Most of the time, at least.
Which is why I felt compelled to finish this book, even though I disliked Sweet Evil.
Here's just the general gist of what I hated:
- NOTHING EFFING HAPPENED! NADA!
- TOO much obsessing over Kaidan on Anna's part.
- Predictable plot- if you could even call it that.
- Why was Kope even there? ...more

Okay, so I think SO often the second book in a series lets you down, this was DEFINITELY not the case with Sweet Hope.
The tension was incredible.
Kaidan was just as hot, if not MORE so.

I LOVED IT!!! I love the way Wendy Higgins writes. When I read her books I am so into the book, I have no idea what is happening around me. I feel like I am in the book along with the other characters.
Another reason I love Wendy Higgins as a writer is because I feel the connection between the characters. I feel the love between Anna and Kaidan. It's like I can feel what Kopano is feeling towards Anna. I feel the protectiveness that Duke Belial has towards Anna.

“I've loved you longer,” he said.”
“Ready to s-snuggle?” he asked Kaidan, a slight clatter in his voice. Only Blake could joke on a night like this and get away with it.
Kaidan shook his head and undressed down to his boxers, too, the tension finally shedding away from his frame. “I swear, mate. If I feel something poke me in the back. . .”
Blake's laugh was dry. “I'm pretty sure my junk froze off, man, so don't worry.”
