Shelf Candy Saturday (#5)





My shelf candy Saturday post is....





What if there were teens whose lives literally depended on being bad influences? This is life for sons and daughters of fallen angels in Sweet Evil.

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 will-power is put to the test. He’s the boy your daddy warned you about. If only someone had warned Anna.

A cross-country trip forces Anna to face the reality that hope and love are not options for her kind. Forced to face her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?

Expected publication: May 1, 2012 by HarperTeen



Okay, I LOVE the contrast of the red dress and the black shirt! Also the white background VS the black one. This whole cover shows the balance of Anna's life. Will she choose good or evil?


What do you guys think of this cover? I can't wait to see what shelf candy y'all have this week! :-)

  2. Ooooh so intriguing. Love the lighting and the dress, and how the man in darkness is about to whisper some secret to her while she looks unsure if she wants to listen.

  5. Gorgeous! I love her dress and the cover fits so well with the description of the book. You could totally believe those two as regular teens or as fallen angels.
