Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins Review!

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 girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.

When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. 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?

   This is the second book in the Sweet trilogy, and Sweet Peril is a little slower paced compared to the first book, Sweet Evil. Nevertheless, is doesn't lack it adventure or exciting scenes. I believe this book is the calm before the storm. The relationship between Kaidan and Anna was rough in this book, and my heart hurt because of it. So much happened between them. Anna went through a lot of changes and it hurt to see her have to go through them but she kept true to herself in the end. We get to see Kaidan grow as a character and open up more, which is what I was waiting for. The part I was most excited about it the fact that we finally get to meet more Nephs! It was entertaining to seem them all together. There was never a dull moment when they are together. There was a little jealousy over Anna going on between Kaidan and another Neph, which spiced up the book a lot, and it also allowed the reader to see how deep Kaidan’s feelings for Anna run. I love a good jealously angle in books, it never fails to make things a little more interesting and make a hard headed hero see the light.

   Sweet Peril will have you on edge the whole time. Wendy knows how to keep your attention that's for sure. Although this book was a little slower paced than the first, it was still captivating. I read it on one sitting simply because every page pushed me to turn to the next. This book was more about character development than anything and I think it was necessary. I loved seeing the interaction between Kaidan and Anna even though most of the time I wanted to hit Kaidan, but I still love him. We got to see a lot of growth in Anna and Kaidan, and the plans for the future begin to become clearer in Sweet Peril. It's obvious that something big is coming and I can't wait to see what happens with Anna and Kaidan in Sweet Reckoning. I give this book four out of five stars.
