Sweet Evil by Wendy Higgins
5.0
Absolutely amazing! I'm always into YA paranormal romance type books, so naturally when I saw this I knew I was going to read it. I wasn't expecting much of it, yet once I began, I could't stop! The storyline was great, and the characters were well put together. Anna and Kaiden's romance was irresistible, and all in all, this is one book you definitely won't want to miss!!!!!
Sweet Peril by Wendy Higgins
5.0
So I bought this book right away when it first came out. Why? Because Sweet Evil was amazing, and I was so excited for this one to come out. And as far as sequels go, it definitely didn't disappoint. Anna has grown, and though she's still the infinitely sweet, "good girl", she's tougher, more aware of life. Wendy did a great job on Anna, because she could've easily turned her into a whole new person. I loved that all the other characters, like Kope, Blake, Marna, and Ginger also had bigger roles in the book. And Kaiden, well Kaiden was still just as swoon-worthy as ever. So whether or not you enjoyed Sweet Evil, definitely give Sweet Peril a chance.
Entice by Jessica Shirvington
5.0
So when I first read Embrace, I liked it, however was disappointed and had no intentions of continuing the series. However when I saw the sequel in the library, I picked it up and figured I might as well, with having incredibly low expectations. And oh my god, thank god I did! I loved Entice, from beginning to end! First, Violet has grown a bit, and now that Lincoln and her are working things out, Violet is so much more likable! And though I felt like Lincoln was very unimpressionable in the first book, that completely changes! In Entice, I can see why Violet loves him, and their relationship is much more real then what it first seemed to be. And though Phoenix is now the antagonist, him and Violet still have an interesting connection. Entice outdoes Embrace, in every way, and this series is definitely a huge must!!!!!
Emblaze by Jessica Shirvington

Loved it. Absolutely loved it. Violet and Lincoln are so amazing, in every way imaginable and yet it kills me that they can't be together. The struggle they go through, to want each other so badly, and that Lincoln distances himself, is ugh!!! I swear, each book in the series just get's better and better. But aside from them, Violet and Spence's friendship has been great! Spence has really been there for her, and honestly, he is so lovable and hilarious. And Phoenix...well I'll always love him, even though I love Lincoln. He get's his own chapter, and I frankly just loved him even more. It really puts perspective on the story, and that Phoenix isn't some big bad villain trying to just screw up everything. Everything he does is for a reason. Phoenix is very haunted in some ways, and unlike any other character I've come across. All in all, loved it.
The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin
5.0
When I saw some of the reviews here, it made this book sound really bad and nothing unique. However,this book was truly incredible!! Mara and Noah's chemistry felt real, and them and all the other character's personalities were refreshing, and unlike most other YA characters. And one thing I really liked was how in majority of YA books, the boy is always the one with the terrible secret, the horrible talent, the "dark" one, and yet when Noah's ability comes to light in the story, it's something good. It's Mara who has the "dark" ability, which was a nice little change in the usual. I honestly did not want this to end, and I highly recommend it! Loved it!
