Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins

5.0

Sweet evil introduces you to the perfect good girl/bad boy couple. Anna and Kaiden are the perfectly mismatched couple. She is the good girl - good grades, no drugs or alcohol, prays every night, type of girl. But when Kaiden meets her, he sees her for what she really is. A Nephilim - daughter of a fallen angel that is bound to be spread a bad influence to those around her...but she isn't.

The struggles Anna goes through when she realizes what her destiny is supposed to be mirror those that all teens go through - only hers are on steroids. But there's another side to Anna that is quite the opposite. There is an innate goodness to her that shines through and above all the rest. The story is ultimately about Anna and her discovery of all that she really is. Her romance with Kaiden Rowe is a major part of story as he helps her find both sides and she must finally decide which to embrace.

Filled with fallen angels, their amazing children, real life friends for life, and a lot of growing this book hit the spot for me with something new and original that I hadn't read before. It's one downside was the way Kaiden sometimes acted about himself. He knows what he is and why he is here and he dwells on it a little too much at times for my taste (although this is just a part of his personality) or this would have gotten 5 stars.

Without giving too much away, the ending was such an amazing turn of events that shows Anna's real colors, but also puts her life in danger - leading up into book 2, Sweet Peril, seamlessly. I immediately picked it up and started reading more.
