Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins
4.0
Like with Sweet Evil, Anna's world within Sweet Peril can feel a little hopeless at times. As the trilogy reaches it's peak Anna's purpose is made a little more clear, but that doesn't make the tasks she has to face any less daunting!
But even though the challenges that Anna faces seem so tremendous, she has some good friends and family backing her up, and that sparks some hope within this rather dark world. In this book some of those characters we met in Sweet Evil play a little larger role -- in particular Kope -- and we also meet a few new characters. But of course this series wouldn't be the same without Kaidan.
Poor Anna and Kaidan have so many obstacles they have to face in order to be together, and all of them are good reasons for them to stay apart. So it's hard to watch them struggle so much, but despite the hardships they face within their world as Nephs and within their relationship, they are so lovely to read about when they are together. They're beautiful and I truly hope that everything works out for them in the end.
So this is one of those books that I can't really say much more than that. A lot of this series is kind of a mystery along the way and discovering pieces to the puzzle that Anna and those on her side are trying to fit together in order to make their world a better place. So I don't want to ruin that for any potential readers.
If you're a fan of YA angel/demon (mostly demon) paranormal books that are a bit on the darker side then you'll probably love this series. While it's not dark as in gore and guts or anything like that, the world within the Sweet Trilogy is quite despairing and it can be hard to picture the characters actually being able to overcome the struggles they have to face. I hope they all come out on top in the end, but if you're a fan of reading those kinds of worlds then you'll probably enjoy this series. I know I'm really enjoying it, with it's layered world, difficult challenges, and engaging characters.
