Sweet PerilSweet Peril by Wendy Higgins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I enjoyed the first book in this series so much (Sweet Evil) that I had to start listening to this one straight away. And it didn’t disappoint, in fact I think I liked it more than the first one. I should say there were a few minor things that annoyed me but the good things totally outweighed them. This book is all about the neph’s and their fathers and it takes us all around the world. Anna and her father have a plan and to make this plan happen, they need some allies and so Anna ends up flying around the world trying to convince other neph’s to help her out when the time came.
I was pleased to see that the twins, Blake, Cope and Kaiden were all back and I enjoyed watching their individual relationships with Anna. And while I really liked the sparks between Kaiden and Anna in the first book… in this book their relationship went to a whole new level! Talk about swoon!
There were a few near-misses and ‘crap-lets hide’ moments but overall, this book is like the background for book three – where I am expecting some serious thrills, spills and bloodshed.

Sweet Evil (The Sweet Trilogy, #1)Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I listened to this on audiobook and to begin with I found the narrators voice annoying but then she kind of grew on me. And that is the same as the book. I was listening to it and enjoying it but not loving it but then about half way through something happened and then all of a sudden I was invested in the story and the characters. I kind of found Anna annoying but at the same time I liked her – don’t know what is up with that? I liked reading about the different demons and the neph and how they worked to tempt and ruin humans and I have to say, Kaiden made me swoon – big time. The same as the story and Anna, to begin with I didn’t like him and then all of a sudden, on that road trip, I was like ‘hell yeah Kai’.
Overall would probably give it 3.5 stars but i have downloaded the second book and started listening to it straight away so obviously I am keen to find out what happens. I am sensing a battle between good and evil.

Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1) by Susan Ee

Angelfall (Penryn & the End of Days #1)Angelfall by Susan Ee
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I have read my fair share of angel themed books, but I can’t say I have read one that is anything like this one! I loved Penryn, she really is brave and loyal and kick-ass as well as sometimes being just a normal 17 year old girl. There was so much going on I felt like I read the book in an hour. The end of the world landscape with empty houses and abandoned cars on the highway turned into hiding out from angels in old office buildings and eating cat food. In the world of angels against humans the pairing of Penryn and Raffe was perfect. Set up with little trust and only as the means to an end it was enjoyable watching their relationship develop. Throw in soldiers, demons, cannibalism, an angel nightclub and what more could you want. Penryn’s mother was extremely interesting and I feel there is a lot more to that part of the story and then the ending…… What the? That room at the end, and the ‘things’ and the wings and what was being done to the children….. I seriously can not wait to get right onto the next book!

Empower (The Violet Eden Chapters, #5)Empower by Jessica Shirvington
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh. My. Goodness.
This book gave me all the feelings! I have loved every book in this series and having only recently finished book four, I was very excited to start this one, the final book in the series. And it did not disappoint. Apart from stopping for dinner, I read the story in one sitting. Violet, Lincoln and Phoenix are just as interesting as they were when I first met them and there were times, so many times that I felt like my heart was scrunched up into a tiny ball and it was all I could do not to flip to the last page… Which I didn’t!
Apart from Vi, Linc and Phoenix all of the great secondary characters are back and there are some new ones thrown in as well. So many awesome characters that all played a part in the story. This book was filled with emotion, and excitement and so much action and laughter and swoon. The swoon was amazing.
This series is one of my favourites and while I am sad it has ended, the ending was perfect.

Shadows by Paula Weston

Shadows (The Rephaim, #1)Shadows by Paula Weston
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*updated
I really don’t know what to say about this book, it is kind of like …..words can’t describe! After reading quite a few great reviews of Shadows I couldn’t help but buy a copy for myself. I remember picking it up and reading the first few pages and then the rest is a blur. A blur because I got so caught up in the world that Paula Weston has created that I lost track of time and it wasn’t like I was reading a book anymore, it was like I was a part of the story. Straight away I connected with the characters and the way that the setting was described, I felt as if I was right there along side the characters. Gabe/Gaby was fantastic. She was this independent kick-ass girl who couldn’t explain the dreams of demons and hell-spawn that she was having every night and then when the boy that was also in her dreams (not as ‘boy of her dreams’ but ‘boy who was killing demons and hell-spawn in her dreams’) turned up in real life, well she was floored. And so we meet Rafa… the sexy bad boy who comes up with snarky smart ass comments yet can make a girl melt. The relationship between Gabe and Rafa was awesome, it was intense and deep and angry…and Rafa certainly made me swoon. Swoon big time. Gabe and Rafa played off each so well and I know I was reading through the book holding my breath for their next interaction. But it wasn’t just them. The fighting and the action was exciting and it made me almost flip through the pages in a frenzy. The secondary characters were also fantastic, they fitted in so well and were made up of the perfect mix of the good guys and the bad guys, and the bad guys who may be actually good guys, and the good guys who might be bad guys but then you decide are actually good guys – My heart is racing just thinking about the story as I type this!! All in all, in case you can’t tell, I LOVED this book, loved everything about it….
The only bad thing I can say is….. when I realised I was at the end and that I would have to wait for book two 😦
This book is definitely a keeper, I will be re-reading it and I know it will be on my best books of 2012 list.
