Publisher's summary

Embrace the Forbidden...

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. He's the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.

Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?

Top 5 reads of the year so far!!!

What made the experience of listening to Sweet Evil the most enjoyable?

The narrator has a gentle, subtle, seemingly unscripted way of acting. I love her. Her voice is very relaxing.

What did you like best about this story?

See below

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

She did a great job. Really one of my favorite narrators now.

Any additional comments?

WOW. Can I just say wow? Wow.....
I'm 19 chapters in and this book has me wide awake at midnight, heart beating fast, and stopping because I feel COMPELLED to write SOMETHING it.

No I'm not finished yet but I already know I'm giving it 5 stars. I would give it 10 if I could.

I thought this would be another maybe kinda sorta good book to pass the time until a really good meaty one comes along like, say, Laini Taylor last book in the DOSAB series...but although it might not be 'meaty', it's most CERTAINLY filling.
I didn't think I would like this so much!!! In fact, I don't merely like it, I LOVE IT.

This book resonates well with me. I have a Christian background and am pretty dogmatic about doctrine. I have this belief that doctrine is pretty darn important so when I read a book about heaven or hell or angels and demons, I either cringe when the doctrine is way off or just made up and lose interest or ,if I really love the story and realize the doctrine isn't intended to be anywhere near what's described in the bible, then I just enjoy the story for what it is.

But although this story has fictional events (I'm so jealous over the concept! I wish my pea brain could come up with such a believable yet incredible concept!!!), every time it mentions biblical history, it has been spot on.
No cringing. No eye-rolling. Nothing but just a swoosh of relief, mixed with adoration toward the Author for researching, and a huge rush of joy that I'm reading a book I love, that keeps getting better and better, isn't at all preachy, and has some amazing characters that I would love to know in person!

I'm at a point in the book where 3 or 4 game changers just happened and I'm starting to wonder about all the awesome twists and turns the plot can go from here. I guess I didn't realize that Anna and Kai's budding romance-ish love could go anywhere but in the earth with Romeo and Juliet, but now....POSSIBILITIES!!! Yesssssss.
And now dare I say some ACTION??!! Badass heroine ass-kicking action? And more steamy hot tension for sure!!!!

Read this book and decide if it connects with you the way it has with me. It's definitely in the same realm as the Fever series (but differently), and it's definitely in the same realm as the Laini Taylor books IMHO (but differently).

Overall, it's refreshing and listening to it on audio has made the characters come alive and improved upon the story, thanks to the very "well done" acting by the narrator.

Ok, I'm done. I will try not to gush like a total fan girl anymore. At least until I've finished the book. And maybe again after I finish each book in the series. :)

WOOOWWW!

Book boyfriend... Kaiden Rowe

Holy shit! I'm in love with a book boyfriend, Kaiden Rowe. What a fantastic story. The narrator was terrific. She was able to pull off all the various characters voices beautifully. It is about Nephs, demons, and angel. Temptation, sexy temptation, misunderstanding, true love and forgiveness and so much more. The author did a bang up job with this book. Moving on to book 2.

Better Than Expected…

This sat in my library for like 2 years before I finally gave it a listen and I’m mad at myself for waiting so long. I think I was judging it by the cover art? Don’t do that. This is a great story with a very likable MC. There was not a dull moment and it was hard not to listen straight though. I did think the very beginning was a little cheesy but that mellowed out and the rest of the book was fine.

I haven’t listened to anything by Erin Mallon in a long time and forgot how much I liked her. She did a FANTASTIC job with the different accents and characters voices. Someone said her Southern accent was dramatic, but I actually found it subtle. Just the perfect amount. I loved the voice she used for Ana. I feel that it made me like her all the more.

This is definitely worth a listen if you like YA. Don’t miss out.

I am a sucker for Bad Boys!

I really enjoyed this book including the narrator! As I said, I am all over bad boy books and this one... Kaiden, just couldn't get any badder! The son of a fallen angel, drummer of a band on top of speaking with an English Accent? I was done for!
Also, Anna's sweet girl personality didn't come off as self-righteous or snobby, but there were a few times where I felt she did get a little "preachy". Other than that I thought the characters, 1st and 2nd drew me in quick. I would have loved to see more Kopano.. maybe the sequel will have him? I hope so!

I don't think I would classify this as a teen book. With all the sex, drugs and some language, I wouldn't want my teens reading it until they were at least 17.

Finally a Fresh Paranormal!

What did you love best about Sweet Evil?

The story was superb, the characters had depth and the narrative brought them to life

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

Die for me, refreshingly has nothing to do with vampires!

What about Erin Mallon’s performance did you like?

Her emotive story telling drags you in and her voice is melodic and musical

Any additional comments?

Awesome listening! I can't wait for the next installment of the trilogy
