What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences? This is the reality for sons and daughters of fallen angels. Tenderhearted Southern girl Anna Whitt was born with the sixth sense to see and feel emotions of other people. She's aware of a struggle within herself, an inexplicable pull toward danger, but Anna, the ultimate good girl, has always had the advantage of her angel side to balance the darkness within. It isn't until she turns 16 and meets the alluring Kaidan Rowe that she discovers her terrifying heritage and her willpower is put to the test.
Megan says: "Surprisingly good!"

If you could sum up Sweet Evil in three words, what would they be?

Amazing, intense, and addicting.

What other book might you compare Sweet Evil to and why?

I wouldn't really compare it to any other, it's in a realm of its own.

What about Erin Mallon’s performance did you like?

She puts life into all the voices, and I enjoyed all the accents, she did an excellent job.

Any additional comments?

Loved this book, can't wait for more from Wendy Higgins. I really recommend this book.

Times are changing in Pickax, and it all makes for some newsworthy notes for the "Qwill Pen". A new senior center is in the works, and a frisky production of Cats is set to delight Moose County residents, human and feline alike. Polly Duncan is off to Paris, momentarily leaving Qwill without a companion for his apple-barn concerts, and The Librarians Who Lunch are getting read to put on a show of their spectacular Art Hats to help unite Pickax with its Lockmaster County neighbors.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It wasn't bad, but it didn't draw me in like the other books, it was kind of flat...

What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)

Disappointed

What does George Guidall bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

If he wasn't reading I wouldn't even buy the book, he brings life to this book when there was scant life to be found...

Could you see The Cat Who Had 60 Whiskers being made into a movie or a TV series? Who should the stars be?

No, the other books yes.

Any additional comments?

Over all disappointed, Qwill's lack of emotion throughout the book was shocking, it just didn't feel right.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Nope.

If you’ve listened to books by Marissa Meyer before, how does this one compare?

Not nearly as good as the first book, I just couldn't connect with the characters in this one.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Still haven't finished it, I'm kind of dragging my heels at this point.

Any additional comments?

I didn't really care for Scarlet, but Cinder's character felt a little flat as well, it just doesn't compare to the first book. I wanted to love it, but couldn't.

After six months in the quarantine, Remy finds out things are much worse than she feared. Her plans to escape come with a heavy cost, and she realizes that zombies aren't the worst of her problems. This is a young adult novel with language, violence, and sexual situations. Not recommended for readers under the age of 17.

Hell on earth. That’s what it’s like for Luce to be apart from her fallen angel boyfriend, Daniel. It took them an eternity to find one another, but now he has told her he must go away. Just long enough to hunt down the Outcasts - immortals who want to kill Luce. Daniel hides Luce at Shoreline, a school on the rocky California coast with unusually gifted students: Nephilim, the offspring of fallen angels and humans. Daniel hasn’t told her everything. He’s hiding something - something dangerous.
