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 it isn't until she turns sixteen 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?
This book reminds me of the Lux series, which I love to death and I believe I read this sometime after I finished Opposition, which is the last book in the series. I read the books in The Sweet Trilogy back to back and loved them all, loved the connections between the characters, the action - it was well written and it had KAIDEN. What else could you possibly want?!
And Marna and Ginger! They were the most adorable things in the world - well, more Marna (the sweet one) than Ginger (the complete bitch), and in this series I want to say we confront a good-twin-evil-twin situation, though they were both born evil but aren't really evil... nice.
Anna, the main character, could tell, I think, that there was some big, cute, 'I'd die for him/her' romance coming for her and Kaiden and I'm not sure she even tried to hide it, and he was all like "Leave me alone, we're never gonna be together"... but we all knew they were. We knew before we started the damn book.
And she's a blond! I'm not sure how many book I've read with blond protagonists... that seemed important to point out, didn't it?
This book was great, full of love and action and everything you could ask for. It has a lot of cliches, but it is addictive. I really recommend it and I have no idea what you're doing with your life if you don't pick. it. up.
