Why am I telling you all this you ask? Well, my heart has lightened considerably recently. Not only has book two been picked up by HarperTeen, but book three has as well which means there is much more Kaidan Rowe in my future. And even better? The official cover for book two, now titled Sweet Peril instead of Sweet Hope, has just been released along with the blurb:
Anna Whitt, 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 claim. 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?
SO EXCITED! And nervous. There's a lot of black on this cover, and I feel like we're getting a little foreshadowing through the literal use of shadow, indicating dark times are clearly ahead. I'm going to need to take deep, soothing breaths before I pick this one up!
If you haven't read Sweet Evil yet, I hope you guys give it a try, and definitely mark your calendars for the release of Sweet Peril from HarperTeen on April 30th, 2013. More information on the amazing Wendy Higgins and her books can be found here:

YAYYYY! I'm SO GLAD books 2 and 3 have been picked up by HarperTeen! I NEED MORE KAIDAN ROWE!!!!<3 The cover is absolutely GORGEOUS<3 Can't wait for it to be released!<3
ReplyDeleteYESSSSSSSS! So excited Shirley!!! I was extremely unhappy when I learned his fate was up in the air!
DeleteLooks great! I totally need to read the first book soon. I've heard so many great things!
ReplyDeleteYou do! I absolutely adored it:)
DeleteOOH OOOH OOOHH I've been meaning to read Sweet Evil for quite some time now and this cover reveal just reminded me of that! AWESOME cover. I mean, yeah, a lot of black but in a good way! It's gorgeous (even though I haven't read the first book, so, then again, I don't really know what I'm saying :P). Nice cover reveal, Jenny!
ReplyDeleteThe cover is absolutely gorgeous with all that black, it just makes me nervous because Wendy said it "fits the tone of the book". Yikes. I love Kaidan and Anna so much!
DeleteI guess I should be reading Sweet Evil soon, huh?
ReplyDeleteUmmmm yes:)
DeleteI love love LOVE this cover! I like it even better than the cover for book one, which is saying a lot. Really pleased to hear Harper picked up the sequels in the end. :)
ReplyDeleteI may have done a spastic happy dance when I found out Harper picked up the full trilogy. Can. Not. Wait.
DeleteI know Harper Teen didn't think Sweet Hope was a good title for this book, but I'm still getting used to the word peril in that title. I mean.. It suits fine with the meaning, but it's just weird for me, hope I'll like it when the book is actually released. I LOVE the cover! "Anna" with longer hair is even prettier. I just wish Kai's hand had been on her hip which is desperately seeking his attention, lol. And I like this dress even more than the red one on Sweet Evil. Oh, and I cannot wait to get my dose of Kaidan which will most likely never be enough, but hey, I think we're pretty lucky to get more of him so I'll take as much as I can get. Loved the first book and I'm really anxious and excited about the sequel :)
ReplyDeleteYou're so right, her hip is just begging for his hand isn't it? And black is much more my color than red, so I'm partial to this dress as well. This book can't release soon enough for me!
DeleteI love the covers for these books, so I'll have to pick up this series for sure! In fact, this cover is so much more kick-ass and alluring than Book 1, so fantastic cover reveal, Jenny! :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it pretty? It's making me greedy though because now I really want to see what Anna's going to be wearing on the cover of book 3!
DeleteIt looks cool :)
ReplyDeleteI happy to hear this news, Jenny! I haven't read the first book but I want to pick it up based on your recommendation alone. I have to be honest though, I liked the cover you picked better! Oh well. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you get a chance to pick it up soon Rachel! And thank you, I had fun designing that cover:)
DeleteO I love love love it
ReplyDeleteLove the cover! And from how excited you sound, I'll have to read bk 1 and see what all the fuss is about.
ReplyDeleteEven though I thought the cover you designed was phenomenal, this one is also stunning and kick-ass and incredibly intense. :) I hope it meets your expectations, Jenny! Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDelete"Foreshadowing through the literal use of shadow" LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks for making me laugh! I can feel your tenseness all the way over here in NC! Breathe! Your name is still going to be in the book right?!
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Sweet Peril's cover is absolutely GORGEOUS. I'm so glad that the publishers picked up the sequel and really can't wait for the release date ;)
ReplyDeleteThank you for sharing this awesome cover with us, Jenny ♥
I absolutely loved Sweet Evil, I defintely need more Kaidan Rowe !! I love this cover but I agree dark times ahead .. but if it means more Kaidan Rowe, I don't care :) !!
ReplyDeleteMe too! OMG! Can not wait to read this book :)
ReplyDeleteI am so flippin' excited about this book, too!
