Embrace the Forbidden
What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences? This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels.
enderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of a struggle within herself, and inexplicable pull toward danger, but Anna, the ultimate good girl, has always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within. It isn't until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaiden Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test. He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.
Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?

Sweet Evil combines the lore of Angels/Demons and Nephilim and gives them a whole new twist. The Dukes, demons in human form that represent the seven deadly sins, are in charge of evil on earth and are the bosses to the Nephilim. The Nephilim, the sons and daughters to the Dukes, have one job: to spread the deadly sin they are born with to the world. Rebelling from this job means one thing...death.
The characters in Sweet Evil are unique and compelling. Their personalities match they're personas and even though I wanted to hate some of them, I had to remember that they are only being the way they were brought: to do their job. Even then, the personalities of all the Nephilims are unique to themselves and they are a blast to watch when they encounter with one another. Anna is a worthy protagonist and a special Nephilim. She is good to her core and even when exposed to the world of the Dukes, she remains true to herself. And Kaidan, my dear beautiful Kaidan Rowe, his personality was ever changing through out the novel. He is a truly a bad boy, being the son of the Duke of Lust, but he isn't all he's made himself to be. Kaidan and Anna embark on a road trip and as he spends more time with Anna he is touched by her innocence and her optimism that there really are good people in the world and it's both exhilarating and terrifying, because feelings are dangerous and not acceptable when your a Nephilim.
At the very core of Sweet Evil is forbidden love, dangerous and terrifying, the Nephilim have one job and love is not part of it. Decisions that the characters have to make and dealing with the consequences are part of Anna's journey of self-discovery that is filled with pain, love, heartache, and finding the courage to have hope when everything is falling apart. Sweet Evil is a novel that you will want to have your best friend read just for the sake of being able to talk about it with someone and it is one that I encourage everyone to read!!
