Sweet Temptation by Wendy Higgins

Release Date: September 8, 2015

Publisher: HarperTeen
Series: The Sweet Trilogy, #4

Format: Paperback, 485 pages

Description from GoodReads:

   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.

   Sweet Temptation will encompass the entire trilogy in a condensed version, beginning with Kai's life before he met Anna, and taking readers through the epilogue of Sweet Reckoning. Sweet Temptation is a companion novel, not meant to be a stand alone story. It will definitely be a richer experience for those who have read the original trilogy.

Book Review: Paper Towns by John Green

Read: July 21st-29th, 2015
Publisher: Penguin Young Readers Group
Series: N/A
Format: Paperback, Movie Tie-In, 336 pages

Description from GoodReads:

   Quentin Jacobsen has spent a lifetime loving the magnificently adventurous Margo Roth Spiegelman from afar. So when she cracks open a window and climbs back into his life—dressed like a ninja and summoning him for an ingenious campaign of revenge—he follows. 

After their all-nighter ends and a new day breaks, Q arrives at school to discover that Margo, always an enigma, has now become a mystery. But Q soon learns that there are clues—and they’re for him. Urged down a disconnected path, the closer he gets, the less Q sees of the girl he thought he knew.

Review:

   As long as we don't die, this is gonna be one hell of a story.

   I'm not going to lie, where John Green books may be popular they really aren't for me. His story for The Fault in Our Stars was fabulous, and Looking for Alaska had a very deep topic but I can never really enjoy his characters, they are all the same for me. A boy who is a "nobody" and who is pinning for a hot girl, who apparently is everything. They were never anything special about them.

Paper Towns was not for me, I didn't even enjoy it really. The adventure and clues that were the main story made no sense. I couldn't wait to be done reading it.

   I guess fans of John Green might enjoy Paper Towns, but otherwise I think you'd be better off reading something else.

Recommendation Fridays: Soul Screamers by Rachel Vincent

   I had first meet Rachel Vincent by reading her firsts series, Shifters. It was an adult series, but never the less it was a fabulous series. When I discovered that she had also written a Young Adult series I just had to read it. I bought the first two bind ups at a local bookstore, and read them within a week. Unfortunately the last two bind ups hadn't been released yet, but my library had the original copies. I became the first person on the hold list for all of them!  

   The Soul Screamers series is still one of my favourite series to today! It's one of the few series that has actually made me cry! How could I not love it?

   Banshees, spirits and demons, you jut have to give this series a try!

The series would probably be best for people who like the following books:

Fantasy, Paranormal, Supernatural, Urban Myths, Banshees, Spirts

Once again, it's perfect for everyone!
