This is a review for Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins (5 cat review):
It is about time I write a proper and fitting review for this fabulous book.

Anna is your typical southern belle. She is sweet, innocent, charming, beautiful and shy. And don't forget that peachy little Georgia accent. She is the ultimate good girl, and has always imagined herself with a good boy. Until she meets the gorgeous, alluring, and unbelievably good looking, Kaiden Rowe. Anna never thought she would fall for someone as bad as him. And believe me....he's bad. His father is the Duke of Lust after all. What's a good girl to do?

I loved this book. So, so much. It was something different from the normal angles and demons. It involved the seven deadly sins, a captivating idea that Wendy Higgins uses brilliantly. Through out the novel, we learn that all the seven sins are in human form. They are called Dukes, and there are 12 of them, the 7 traditional sins (Lust, Pride, Gluttony, Greed, Wrath, Sloth. and Envy) including 5 minor sins such as Substance Abuse (which, conveniently, is Anna's fathers sin). However, instead of Anna being fully Nephilim like all the rest of the Duke's children, she is only half, as her mother was a guardian angle.  

Now back to Kaiden. He is just to hot for his own good, and he knows it. I really enjoyed his casual and sometimes blush educing batter with Anna. The characters really connected well with each other and the romance between Anna and Kaiden was steamy. I loved it. Blake is one of my other favorite characters. He is funny and the way he easily accepted Anna was a quality I like in a person and a character.

Their road trip to go see Anna's Dad was another great opening for Kaiden drama and the author did such a wonderful job of turning a boring road trip into something hilarious at times and heart warming. The characters shared moments with each other seemed so real at times, that I thought I was right there with them. 


This book was just great! The idea behind the story was very creative and the writing was excellent. An overall fantastic read for any body who enjoys romance, mystery, bad boys, and deadly sinning. 

Cheers,
Jessica


P.S The cover on this book is just so cool!
