Book Description:
Bad boy Kaidan Rowe has never wanted for anything—money, popularity, musical talent…hot girls—but seducing them is part of his duty as a Nephilim, slave to the demon Dukes. As the son of the Duke of Lust, Kaidan has learned his father’s ways, becoming a master of passion, a manipulator of chemistry. Disobeying his father would mean certain death. Thankfully for Kaidan, he’s good at his job. And he enjoys it.
Until he meets Anna Whitt—sweet, smart, feisty, and inexplicably good—the one girl seemingly immune to his charms. The daughter of a guardian angel and a fallen one, she has a certain power over him, one that makes him wish for more than he could ever deserve.
Determined to save all the Neph from their dark lives as the influencers of sin, Anna joins forces with Kaidan to overcome the demons’ oppressive ways. In the light of her affections, Kaidan must undergo his toughest test of all, a battle of the heart.
Sensual and swoon worthy, this companion volume to the acclaimed Sweet Evil series from New York Times bestselling author Wendy Higgins, told from the perspective of the irresistibly sexy and mysterious Kaidan Rowe, gives readers revealing insights into his struggle, his intense connection to Anna, and most of all, the true emotions that drive him.
About the Author:
After earning a Creative Writing degree from George Mason University and a Masters in Curriculum and Instruction from Radford, I taught high school English until becoming a mommy. I've always had a heart for teens, and writing YA stories gives me the opportunity to delve into the ambiguities of those pivotal years before adulthood.
I live in Virginia with my husband, daughter, son and doggie Rue.
Anyone who has read the Sweet Evil series knows just how much this latest installment, all done in the fabulous Kai's point of view, means to Higgins' fans. The very fact that she gave us this, is beyond amazing.
That she would listen to her fans and come through with something that worked both as a companion novel to the series and still have completely new material, is just beyond incredible.
And let me tell you, fans of this series, heck, fans of Kaidan, do NOT want to miss out on this. It truly was phenomenal and I soaked up every single chapter of this 483 pages of goodness.
So well done and so swoon worthy with just the right amount of ramped up steam and swoon worthy moments, it truly was fun getting down and dirty with Kai!
Oh wow, I honestly didn't know about this companion novel, not being a fan of the series just yet, but I so admire the author for choosing to write it! That is so awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt really was!
DeleteOoo I really need to start this series. I have the first and third, why I have the third and not the second is beyond me lol. But so glad that its going strong for you! :)
ReplyDeleteThis is a really fun series and one I think you would really like Emma!
DeleteI am glad this was a great addition to the series for you!
ReplyDeleteIt was so much fun Grace! I think all fans of the series and especially Kaidan are going to love it!
DeleteAnd just when I thought I was going to pass on this...you just had to say it was everything I was hoping for. Lol. I loved Kaidan but I didn't want to read the same story again. But it sounds like I'm in. Nice review!
ReplyDeleteIt isn't quite the same story since it goes into a lot of detail of when he wasn't with Anna. ;) I think you'll love it.
DeleteI've only read the first book in the series (so far) but I can only imagaine how much fans are going to love having Kaiden's pov! I love it when we get a look inside the hero's head like this. I'm so glad you enjoyed this last installment, Ali :)
ReplyDeleteI really do too Kim, it is just so much fun and adds a whole new layer to the story!
DeleteI'm not usually a fan of books retold in the POV of another character, but I'm glad that this lived up to every expectations of yours, Ali. :) It sounds like she gave fans what they deserved with the book!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely Nick!
DeleteKKKKKKAAAAAIIIIIIIIIDDDDAAAAANNNNNN!!!!! I love him so much Ali, I may have done a spastic flail when I found out we were getting a whole book from his POV. Also, I may or may not be writing him a love letter on the blog tomorrow ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay! I can't wait to read it Jenny!
Deletehahahahah, can't wait to meet the dirty Kai! I think the first one is available on Book Outlet. Yes, it is! Going once, going twice... purchased! Guess I'll be reading it soon :)
ReplyDeleteWoo hoo! I hope you love Kai. ;)
DeleteOkay I have heard so many amazing things about this series. I need to start it asap!!
ReplyDeleteI really hope you do and that you love it!
DeleteAw that's really exciting when an author pulls it out like that for the fans :D
ReplyDeleteI completely agree!
DeleteOh man, I've had the first book since it released and STILL haven't read it! I really need to fit it in soon!
ReplyDeleteYou should! It really is well written and fun.
DeleteI know Jenny loves this series but I haven't had much interest in picking it up. I'm thrilled to know that the author did something new and refreshing with Kai's POV rather than rehashing the same events over again.
ReplyDeleteYes, Jenny is my girl! No seriously though, it is hard not to love this series once you start it, there is just something about it that pulls you in.
DeleteLots of people seem to love this series, and once again I feel left out - though nobody's fault but mine, mind you :) Excellent review, Ali. Happy Monday to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks Ramona and to you as well!
DeleteI haven't read any of these, but I like that she wrote a companion novel in the guy's point of view. That's awesome!
ReplyDeleteIt really was fun. :)
DeleteI have not yet picked up this series but you aren't the only one telling me I need to read it. I will add this one to the wishlist. Sounds like a good companion book.
ReplyDeleteYay! Glad you are adding it. It really is worth the read. ;)
DeleteThere were a lot of scenes in this that weren't in the first.
ReplyDeleteOMMGGGG Ali thus was just what I needed to hear girl! I've been waiting for this book to come out since foreverrrrr so I'm so glad you liked it. Kai, here I commmeee!♡♡♡
ReplyDeleteHope you love it!!!
DeleteGreat review! Your reviews always get me excited about books I haven't even read! Haha!
ReplyDeleteAww thank you!
DeleteIt sounds like this should be put on my TBR list a little higher :). Sounds fantastic. LOVE your review.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Becca!
DeleteThat's is very generous of her! I wish some of my favorite authors listen to me/us too. Like how about an adult version/spin off of Hush Hush?
ReplyDeleteI know, it would be so nice wouldn't it?
DeleteKai..le sigh. Why haven't I kept up with this series. Ya know I think I own books two and three..grr. Great review, so glad you had fun swooning and getting down and dirty!!
ReplyDeleteIt definitely was fun. ;)
DeleteI have the first book. I should make this one of the series to binge on since it's only for books.
ReplyDeleteYou should! I love a good binge read.
DeleteThat is so cool to know that this was her answer to many of her fans' requests!! O_O I don't think you can meet so many authors who would be so attentive to the people who buy her looks like that. Will have to try her out!

I agree Faye, it is so nice when authors do this for the fans.
DeleteIt's great to have once again a great book like that. I remember your wonderful reviews about the others. I need to try one day.

DeleteI still haven't started this series, and you are making me feel like I am missing out! Well done ;)
ReplyDeleteYou are missing out. :P
DeleteI never tried this series because I hear so-so things but you are changing my tune.
ReplyDeleteIt probably isn't for everyone but there are a ton of us who adore it. :) I hope you are one of them as well!
