The Thing About Books: Sweet Evil and Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins

Wow it's been a while since we've done this! So sorry for out absence, we've been very busy with school and tests that we didn't get any time to do this over the past two weeks.
However today we decided to talk about SWEET EVIL and SWEET PERIL. So there WILL be spoilers from BOTH books! Come and read our gushy thoughts if you've already read the book :) 

~Sweet Evil and Sweet Peril~
Taherah Abbas
The Sweet Evil definitely took me by surprise by how much I LOVED it

Caitlyn Crowe
SAME I was iffy about it because of the cover (I know a lot of people like it but I dunno...it looks weird to me) but it was SO good!

Taherah Abbas
I think it's her dress....I didn't hear much about the book until I found it in the library and decided to give it a try since the blurb looked interesting. AND IT WAS! The whole idea, the concept, and the characters were amazing

Caitlyn Crowe
I loved how original it was. I can honestly say I have never read a nephilim quite like this one

Taherah Abbas
Tis true. No YA author has even used the 7 sins thingamabobber as their main idea since Sweet Evil. It's mentioned in some books but never a main idea

Caitlyn Crowe
Ohmysweetgoodness I love that part of the story and how her dad is one of them. Its just so cool and interesting
!

Taherah Abbas
Right?! I love how parents are incorporated into this story and aren't as clueless or dead as others are

Caitlyn Crowe
OMG YES! AND HER DAD OMG OMG OMG I LOVE HER DAD

Taherah Abbas
Her dad is the bomb! HE WASN''T EVIL AND HE WAS COOL AND TOTALLY MADE UP FOR THE TIME HE WASNT WITH HER

Caitlyn Crowe
RIGHT AND HE JUST WANT TO PROTECT HER AND HE LOVES HER MOM AND I DON'T EVEN UNDERSTAND AND HES SO FUNNY AND SWEET AND JUST DOWN RIGHT AMAZING

Taherah Abbas
*sigh* yessssssssssh and I love her adopted mom is it?

Caitlyn Crowe
Yes! I can never remember her name but she is so nice and amazing and understanding I don't know how anyone could ever be better than her!

Taherah Abbas
And super supportive and a great motherly figure to Anna

Caitlyn Crowe
It scares me a little though...she's so amazing and perfect...and Anna loves her so much...

Taherah Abbas
So true. And Anna's innocence and how much it clashes with Kaidan's not so innocent self is absolutely hilarious XD

Caitlyn Crowe
OMG THE HOTEL ROOM AND JUST LIKE THE WAY HE TALKS AND OMG

Taherah Abbas
MY GOD RIGHT *FANS SELF* THE ROAD TRIP I WANT TO GO ON A ROAD TRIP

Caitlyn Crowe
I WANT TO GO ON A ROAD TRIP WITH KAIDEN ROWE AND I WANNA HAVE PERVERTED JOKES AND ITS JUST SO STEAMY EVEY SECOND WITH HIM OMG *TRIES TO CALM DOWN* *FAILS* AND THEN IN THE NEXT BOOK WITH THE STRIP TEASE AND THE POOL AND THE KNIFE AND OMG I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND

Taherah Abbas
DUDEDUDE BOOK 2 BARELY HAD HIM AND IT WAS SAD BUT YES SECOND HALF OF BOOK 2 WAS JUST VERY WONDERFUL

Caitlyn Crowe
YEAH I KNOW KOPE IS OK BUT KAI MAN KAI! THE SECOND HALF WAS LIKE THE GREATEST THING EVER

Taherah Abbas
I LIKE KOPE QUITE A LOT ACTUALLY NOT ENOUGH TO REPLACE KAI AND WHEN I FOUND OUT HE WAS ALSO A DUKE OF LUST MY EXPRESSION= :O ^_^ XD >:D

Caitlyn Crowe
RIGHT HOLY CRAP HOW DOES SOMEONE DEAL WITH SOMETHING LIKE THAT! OH AND LET ME SAY THAT KAIDEN IS LIKE SUPER SEXY AND HE'S A DRUMMER AND HE'S HOT AND <3 ....anyways...

Taherah Abbas
I THINK THAT'S A GIVEN XD Kaidan is a wonderful book boyfriend to have

Caitlyn Crowe
Oh. My. God. Yes. But it must suck to be Anna...constantly worried about if your boyfriend is doing it with every girl in sight....that might have been a slight exaggeration...

Taherah Abbas
But still yesssss agreed. I actually don't think I could handle being her/all the other YA heroines who go through A LOT

Caitlyn Crowe
I would strictly for the fact that sure my life would be hard but it would be badass and second OMG HOT AMAZING BOYS (wow I'm being exceptionally creepy today)

Taherah Abbas
See I wouldn't mind being a bystander in these books esp with all the eye candy...though it would probably make me jealous of all the girls who do end up getting them

Caitlyn Crowe
Yeah I don't like being jealous. I would rather go through the shit

Taherah Abbas
Agreed. I didn't think the book would get as serious as it did in the end of the first book and second book

Caitlyn Crowe
Yeah after the first I wasn't too sure how it was gonna turn out but it was totally cleared up in the second one

Taherah Abbas
Yup the end of book 1 was waaaaaaaaaaay too open ended

Caitlyn Crowe
Dude the beginning of the second book was so scary I thought it was then and I'm so scared its gonna foreshadow their end

Taherah Abbas
*completely forgot the beginning of the second book*

Caitlyn Crowe
With the whole two neph who love each other and both are killed by other neph cuzz of the devils and its just so sad

Taherah Abbas
OHOHOH yeah I think it would be the worst ending if all they went through hwas for nothing

Caitlyn Crowe
Yeah...definitely...Wait, is this a trilogy??

Taherah Abbas
Pretty sure

Caitlyn Crowe
Damn hows she gonna tie it up in one book?

Taherah Abbas
No ideaaaa but I think she can

Caitlyn Crowe
I cant wait to read iiiiiittttttttttttttttt

Taherah Abbas
It'll be VERY interesting but I foresee death :/

Caitlyn Crowe
DON'T

Taherah Abbas
I ALREADY DID THOUGH

Caitlyn Crowe
ITS NEVER GONNA LEAVE MY HEAD NOW

Taherah Abbas
I'M SORRY BUT THAT'S WHAT ALWAYS HAPPENS

Caitlyn Crowe
YOUR MEEEEAAAAAANNNNNN

Taherah Abbas
SORRY! But I do give this series a 4.5-5 stars. :D :D

Caitlyn Crowe
DEFINITELY
