Sweet Temptation by Wendy Higgins
4.0

“I think Anna Whitt is bad for my health.”

Stars (Out of 10): 8/10 Stars

Overall Thoughts: I thought this book would feel like a useless addition to the series, but it actually gave way more of insight into Kaidan’s character, as well as embellished on points not fully explained in the original trilogy. The epilogue was also way more general, and focused on the after as a whole, not a specific scene in the future, so I felt we got a much more complete ending to the series.

SPOILERS BEGIN HERE

The Good: I really liked the side of Kaidan we got to see in this, and more fully see how he changes and deals with everything. I also found a different kind of closure in this book that I didn’t find in Sweet Reckoning, as I thought the epilogue was way more explanatory of their future after the demons were gone.

The Bad: It technically didn’t have a plot besides Kaidan’s and Anna’s relationship, so in some chapters it felt a bit empty. I would’ve liked some additional information or something going on, but I understand how that would’ve been tough to keep true to the other plot that occurred in Sweet Evil.

The Characters: I liked the different side of Kaidan we got to see in this book, and how it explained his actions throughout the series. I really hated the guy in the first book and a half for what he did to Anna, but knowing it was all Belial’s fault changed that.

The Plot: I really understood why the author mentioned to read this after the other three, since there is no way I would’ve known the actual plot without having read the other series first. While it mentioned events, it didn’t explain the plot, since Kaidan wasn’t truly in the know of it at all times.

The Favorite Character: Marna

Buy it, Borrow it, or Bin it: If you enjoyed Sweet Evil, buy it
