Sweet Peril By Wendy Higgins
Shifting
gears to a totally different genre. I guess this would be classified
with the other YA fallen angel type novels. But I am not even going to
define it as that at all. Sweet Peril is the second book to the Sweet
Trilogy. In this novel, the spiritual beings in the world are brought to
light. There are demons called Dukes, each are in charge of a deadly
sin, it is their job to bring humans into darkness, and to lead them to
do sinful acts. The Dukes' children are called Nephilims, half human and
half demon, and they aid their father's in their work. Wendy allows us
to look at the world around use differently, and I think she relieves
the idea of true faith in God. Anna Whitt, a Nephilim, is part human,
demon and angel. She is first exposed to this world and her true
identity by Kaidan Rowe, his father is the demon of Lust, and trouble
starts form there. As Anna starts to understand herself, and everyone
like her, as well as her parentage. She realizes she is made for greater
things. I won't give it all way becasue a) don't want to spoil this
incredible awesome series b) I have not finished the series yet!
The
way Wendy builds her world around us is interesting. I usually don't
like books about demons. But the way Wendy brings these two worlds
together, shes seems to be exposing what is already around us, rather
then speaking about fictitious events.
Now lets talk about what really matters:
Kaidan Rowe and Anna Whitt.
There
relationship is a step up from your typical Romeo and Juliet complex.
They are dancing with death even being together. As much as I want them
together, I don't want them dead either. I always feel torn between them
together and them apart. Yes, they are safer apart, but than
together... AHHH. And to top it all off, the book starts off with two
Nephilims getting killed becasue they feel in love with each other. Not
the greatest news for Anna and Kaidan. So far the past two books someone
has died at the end, and stakes keep going up! I need to read the last
book. When I finish the Sweet Trilogy, I will write a full evaluation of
the characters, and the world development.
Do you agree? Disagree? Or find something that I didn't, I would love to hear your comments!!
