Book Review : Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins 

Sweet Evil is a provocative paranormal romance with angels, demons and a sinful twist.

The paranormal concept behind this novel is  something different than what I have encountered while reading paranormal romance. In the novel Nephilim, the children of fallen angels, live on Earth and  embody a sin. Their most important work is to pull humans into sin. Sweet Evil  explores the concepts of nature versus nurture ideas of sin. The book made me think about how we make sense of the bad things that others do.

Higgins writing is fun and addicting, and will appeal to teens and YA readers. However I did feel  like some parts of the plot were spoon fed, we are told too much instead of being shown and allowed to create our own opinions.

I didn't really connect with the female protagonist Anna Whitt. As she goes through her journey of figuring out what she is, I found her to be a little too naive and too trusting. Something about her relationship with her Dad irked me and I can't figure out what is is. While I sympathized with her situation, I couldn't always agree with her choices.

The male protagonist, Kaiden Rowe is your typical YA paranormal romance male protagonist. He's angsty, attractive and acts like LMFAO's I'm Sexy and I Know It should play in the background when he walks into a room. I find him to be somewhat of an anti-hero, while he is helpful to Anna you can't help but to raise eyebrows at his actions.

This novel has an insta-love plotline that is pretty typical of the paranormal genre. There is a mild love triangle with Anna, Kaiden and another Nephilim, Kopano. I think the love traingle introduces interesting dynamics between the two male characters and their decesions.

I will say this novel gets darker as it goes along and has some nightmare fuel moments. If you are a fan of paranormal romance, I think  you will enjoy this novel. It hits all the marks in a dark, sexy and exciting way.
