Sweet Peril
This Sweet Evil (2012) sequel finds Anna Whitt—half fallen angel and half guardian angel—missing her true love Kaidan and longing to escape her dark-angel obligations of leading humans to substance abuse. Discovering a prophecy that, when fulfilled, may rid Earth of demons, she and friend Kope travel the world seeking Nephilim allies. However, avoiding personal temptations—including Kai—and keeping the mission secret from the fallen-angel powers is getting harder and further endangering Anna and her loved ones. With suspense, steamy romance, an appealing contemporary teen protagonist, and a lively cast, this continues to be an enjoyable, absorbing genre read, and it will leave series followers anticipating the next installment.
