Sweet Evil - Wendy Higgins (The Sweet Trilogy #1)

Published Date: May 1, 2012

Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi/Romance/Young Adult

Synopsis: Embrace the Forbidden

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 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?

Oh Anna Whitt, you are truly one of a kind. No really. I love this book because the characters can remember things before they were even born and Anna was able to feel the love from both of her parents before they were torn apart by life and death.

When she meets Kaidan, their chemistry is undeniable. 

Higgins unfolds Anna and Kaidan's story with a twist of Romeo & Juliet because of their forbidden but undeniable love and with some HOT fallen angels. I mean, who doesn't like fallen angels that make you squirm in your seat in a good way.

I loved this story right off the bat because Higgins has a great way of capturing her readers and having them fall in love with their relationship. Even when she describes their kisses, the room gets steamy.  I love the fact that they tell everyone's emotions and that their senses are heightened to an extreme.

I have no bad things to say about this book, honestly. I can rate this book up there with Jennifer L. Armentrout's books, hands down with a 5 out of 5 stars. I cannot wait to start on and review Sweet Peril - Wendy Higgins as well as Secret - Brigid Kemmerer.

Darkness Becomes Her - Kelly Keaton (Gods and Monsters #1)

Published Date: February 22, 2011

Genre: Fantasy/Sci-Fi

Synopsis: Ari can't help feeling lost and alone. With teal eyes and freakish silver hair that can't be changed or destroyed, Ari has always stood out. And after growing up in foster care, she longs for some understanding of where she came from and who she is. 

Her search for answers uncovers just one message from her long dead mother: Run. Ari can sense that someone, or something, is getting closer than they should. But it's impossible to protect herself when she doesn't know what she's running from or why she is being pursued. 

She knows only one thing: she must return to her birthplace of New 2, the lush rebuilt city of New Orleans. Upon arriving, she discovers that New 2 is very...different. Here, Ari is seemingly normal. But every creature she encounters, no matter how deadly or horrifying, is afraid of her. 

Ari won't stop until she knows why. But some truths are too haunting, too terrifying, to ever be revealed.

Honestly, right now, in the middle of the book, I am not sure what I think of Ari as the main character. To be honest, I would have had more fun reading this if Violet was the main because she's peculiar but you love her right off the bat. Ari is stubborn but what main character usually isn't?

My opinion after I finished the book was that I was not all that impressed by the book. At first, I was excited to try something different, something new, but it could have been better...

Honestly, Ari had no connection with Sebastian at all and Keaton sped up the romance to the point where you're just annoyed.

Now personally, it had a good story line but I can describe it in a few short sentences. Girl feels like an outsider. Finds a new city but know that future America, in ruins and run by the supernatural families that bought some of the land. Family and Greek Goddess at war with each other and there's the story. With awful romance.

Sebastian is an arse right off the bat and Ari is immediately attracted to him. By the second chapter, she's already shoving her tongue down his throat and he accepts it. Honestly, the romance should have been played out more but I can't do anything about that.

I rate this book a solid 3 out of 5 stars because it wasn't a completely awful book where I would never want to pick it up again but it was just not my style of a book that I enjoyed. 

Blog you later, awesome book nerds with Book 1 of The Sweet Trilogy, Sweet Evil - Wendy Higgins and I can tell you that it is going to be a great one.
