Fans of Cassandra Clare’s Mortal Instruments series will be drawn to Wendy Higgins’s sexy, thrilling Sweet Evil trilogy.
Sweet Peril, the second book in this hot YA trilogy, focuses on the battle between light and dark, good and evil, within Anna Whitt, the child of a guardian angel mother and a demon father. Anna promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a claim. Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. And all the while there’s gorgeous bad-boy Kaidan Rowe, the son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.
Anna discovers it is her fate to banish demons from the earth, and save the other Nephilim from their dark destiny. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

THANK YOU Wendy Higgins for writing an amazing, unputdownable sequel!
What I LUV'D: Let's start with the cover...Can I have Anna's dress, please? (Can I also have her figure to go with the dress because that would be great, thanks.)
Action, adventure, brownies, cuddling, kissing and wrestling - this sequel has a little something for everyone! We're introduced to new characters and get to hang with familiar faces (two of which look exactly alike - go figure). Kopano gets LOTS of page time, and of course, there's Kaidan Rowe, everyone's favorite drummer boy guy.
(BTW, I vote that Wendy Higgins writes a Kaidan novella that features a roadie named Jen. Her job could be to bake cupcakes for the band and carry Kaidan's drumsticks because I totally rock at carrying stuff! Just sayin')
Anna has become one of my favorite female characters - she's strong willed, compassionate and her ability to see the best in people is something we should all aspire to whether you're a fictional character or not. She's faced with a task so big, there's no way she can accomplish it all on her own and she is surrounded by those who doubt she can succeed at all, but Anna has something they don't...she has hope that all things are possible. *high fives her*
Anna also has two very swoonilicious guys in her life, and how lucky is she?! They're both tall, dark and delicious and they both rock abs accents. While it's no secret which of the two beat out the rhythm of her heart song, she does come to the realization that she has genuine feelings for both and things get a little, um, interesting. I like that Anna is mature enough to understand that she has an important purpose to fulfill and the world does not revolve around her love life.
Let me just say, that I'm a die-hard Kaidanite, but Kopano made me feel all the feels in Sweet Peril. So much so, I decided to adapt a song for him...
*clears throat*
"I threw a wish in the well
Don't ask me, I'll never tell
I looked to you, as it fell
And now I smell car-a-mel
I'd trade my Neph for a wish
Auras and plagues for a kiss
I wasn't looking for this
But now we're wre-stl-ing.
You're prayer was holding
Head bowed skin was showing
Hot night wind was blowing
Where you think you're going Kope?
Hey, I just met you
And this is crazy
But I am freezing
So warm me, maybe?
It's hard to look right, at you Kope
But I am freezing
So warm me, maybe?"
What left me wanting: Can I have Sweet Reckoning now?
Final verdict: Fantastic sequel that leaves you in just enough peril to want the next book. READ.IT.

After reading Sweet Evil and totally disliking Anne I was hesitant to give Sweet Peril a chance... and my opinion remains uchanged. A common theme in YA seems to be a female lead who obsesses over the male lead to the point of exasperating annoyance.
Anne's obsession with needing to see/talk/be with Kaidan despite the deadly risks and threats borderlines utter destructive stupidity.
I still dislike Anne and just cannot connect with her. She annoys me to no end. Frankly, it was hard to read through portions of the book.
I will only be reading the last book in the series for the sake of finishing the trilogy. Completely underwhelmed with the main character which turns me off to this series as a whole.

Where do I even begin!?! I didn't really know what to expect, but this was an awesome sequel to Sweet Evil! At first I was disappointed that Kaidan wasn't really in the beginning, but gosh he is just so...sexy!! I <3 this man! Like the first Sweet, this is a jammed packed book and Wendy knows how to write books filled to he top with action. There were SO many emotions going through me while reading Sweet Peril. Sadness, total happiness, confusion, heartache, and many more that words can't even begin to describe. Not going to lie I didn't really notice Blake in the first Sweet, but man did I notice him in this one! I <3 Blake! He is so funny and brings so much to this book. And Kope. Sweet Kope. I have to admit I have always been one team Kai and wasn't really a fan of Kope, but Sweet Peril he hit a place in my heart and I just was like...awe. Oh and Flynn, without spoiling anything, I loved him and it just...:'( . I absolutely loved how the Nephs all got more book time? I guess it would be. The twins, Z, Flynn, Kope, Kai and of course Anna are all wonderful and it feels as though I know them personally. Final note, this book is amazing!
P.S. Sweet Peril will always be Sweet Hope (original name) to me :)
