What if there were teens whose lives depended on being bad influences?
This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels in Sweet Evil.

Tenderhearted 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, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but it isn’t until she turns sixteen and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage, and her will-power 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?

Review:

   Wendy Higgins wrote a great book that was full of suprises. I liked the way she wrote about not only the seven deadly sins, but about others as well.
  
   The relationship with Kaidan and Anna is so hard to explain, but yet I just fell in love with both of them. Although, I did have some problems with Anna because she is such a good girl and I'm just not use to that. However I liked that she seemed to accept her identity instead of freaking out and being scared.

   The book was great. My favorite part is definitely the New Year's Party because that was just wild. The ending seemed like there was a scene missing, but that only means we have something to look forward to, for the next books in the sequel.

5/5 STARS

Madison Daniels has worshipped her brother's best friend since they were kids. Everyone thinks she and Chase Gamble would make the perfect couple, but there are two major flaws in their logic. 1) Chase has sworn off relationships of any kind, and 2) after blurring the line between friends and lovers for one night four years ago, they can't stop bickering.

Forced together for her brother's wedding getaway, Chase and Madison decide to call a truce for the happy couple. Except all bets are off when they're forced to shack up in a tacky 70’s honeymoon suite and survive a multitude of "accidents" as the family tries to prove their "spark" can be used than for more than fighting. That is, if they don't strangle each other first…

Review:

   Hot hot hot hot. Tempting the Best Man was written under Jennifer L. Armentrout's pen name J.Lynn. Like all of her other books I fell in love with every word.

   The relationship between Maddie and Chase is amazing. At the beginning of the book they started off by bickering all the time which was cute and funny to read. However, when Chase made it pretty clear he was attracted to her, things started to change for the best.

   Those two were like a rollercoaster, which sometimes made me angry at both of them. However, I think the ending was perfect.

Step into Shadow Falls, a camp for teens with supernatural powers. Here friendship thrives, love takes you by surprise, and our hearts possess the greatest magic of all.

Kylie Galen wants the truth so badly she can taste it. The truth about who her real family is, the truth about which boy she’s meant to be with—and the truth about what her emerging powers mean. But she’s about to discover that some secrets can change your life forever…and not always for the better.

Just when she and Lucas are finally getting close, she learns that his pack has forbidden them from being together. Was it a mistake to pick him over Derek? And it’s not just romance troubling Kylie. An amnesia-stricken ghost is haunting her, delivering the frightful warning, someone lives and someone dies. As Kylie races to unravel the mystery and protect those she loves, she finally unlocks the truth about her supernatural identity, which is far different—and more astonishing—than she ever imagined.

Review:

   In the third book of the Shadow Falls series, Kylie is still in the dark about what she is. I loved this book. Kylie has definetly grown and become stronger since the first book.

   For the romance... I just want to shake Kylie and tell her to get over Derek. I love her with Lucas because they have such chemistry and history. Whereas with Derek I feel like they should just be friends. Red was also another character in which he loved her. Even though he was a stalker, in the end I felt bad for him because of how he was raised in life by his grandfather.

   However, my favorite ship is Holiday and Burnett. I love how they bicker and that Kylie tries to play cupid for them.

   This book was a good read and I loved all the romance scenes, because I'm a sucker for them.

Being connected to Daemon Black sucks…

Daemon’s determined to prove what he feels for me is more than a product of our bizarre connection. I’ve sworn him off even though he’s running more hot than cold these days. But against all common sense, I’m falling for him. Hard.

Our relationship issues aren’t out biggest problem…

The Department of Defense is here. If they ever find out what Daemon can do and that we’re linked, I’m a goner. So is he. And when a new boy shows up a school with a secret of his own, things get complicated fast. I need to choose between my own instincts and Daemon’s.

But then everything changes…

I’ve seen someone who shouldn’t be alive. Daemon’s never going to stop searching until gets the truth. What happened to his brother? Who betrayed him? And what does the DOD want from them—from me?

No one is who they seem. And not everyone will survive the lies.

I have read all of Jennifer L. Armentrout's novels that are out and Tempting the Best Man under her pen name J. Lynn, I must say she is my favorite author. Each one of her novels are amazingly written and after reading Obsidian and Shadows, I am dying to read Onyx.
