Goodreads Overview:
Anna Whitt, the daughter of a guardian angel and a demon, promised herself she’d never do the work of her father—polluting souls. She’d been naive to make such a vow. She’d been naive about a lot of things.
Haunted by demon whisperers, Anna does whatever she can to survive, even if it means embracing her dark side and earning an unwanted reputation as her school’s party girl. Her life has never looked more bleak. And all the while there’s Kaidan Rowe, son of the Duke of Lust, plaguing her heart and mind.
When an unexpected lost message from the angels surfaces, Anna finds herself traveling the globe with Kopano, son of Wrath, in an attempt to gain support of fellow Nephilim and give them hope for the first time. It soon becomes clear that whatever freedoms Anna and the rest of the Neph are hoping to win will not be gained without a fight. Until then, Anna and Kaidan must put aside the issues between them, overcome the steamiest of temptations yet, and face the ultimate question: is loving someone worth risking their life?

Jacque's Review:
Sweet Peril is the second book in the series and was just as good as the first. After the discovery of a prophecy that could free the Nephilim from the control of their fathers, they begin recruiting allies from around the world. This is a very delicate task and has only succeeded to this point with the help of Anna's father. Unfortunately, the other Dukes are beginning to questions some of the unusual activity taking place amongst the Neph, and Anna's father is under suspicion. I was happy to see there is a possibility the Nephilim may gain their freedom and could possibly live their lives without the controlling influence of their fathers. They are; however, putting themselves in an extreme amount of danger. The outcome is far from guaranteed, but they believe the reward exceeds the risks they are taking.
Anna and Kaidan have finally agreed to give in to their feelings for each other, but understand they must be extremely careful. As a son and daughter of the Dukes of various sins, they are expected to spread their father's evil while forsaking their own feelings and desires. Personal relationships between Neph are not allowed. Things were definitely heating up between the two of them, but they can still only see each other when her father tells them the coast is clear. Obviously this isn't an ideal situation, but it is a drastic improvement from their previous circumstance.
Another character that I really enjoyed was Blake, the son of envy. who really seemed to have it all. An amazing house with a pool, ocean view, and all the toys imaginable. He excelled at just about everything and was always the center of attention. He was able to share some of his energy with Anna and take her mind off of things when she needed it the most.
I am really enjoying this series and would definitely recommend it to any YA fan. It has some fantasy/paranormal elements, but reads more like a contemporary. Without the umbrella of fear the Neph are constantly under, the characters wouldn't be much different from any other teenager. I can't wait to see how everything unfolds for them in the final installment, Sweet Reckoning.
