Sweet Evil Blog Tour with Wendy Higgins


Welcome to the Sweet Evil Blog Tour!!!

Today, author Wendy Higgins has stopped in to tell us how sweet evil can really be.  Can evil really be sweet at times? Let us find out! Introducing the talented, Wendy Higgins!

And the answer is…not sweet at all.  I think that’s the allure of the title.  It’s a contradiction.  An oxymoron.  And yet, the two words are sort of drawn to one another, as if they need each other, like yin and yang.  Like Anna and Kaidan…
I believe we cannot have one without the other. Love and hate, hope and fear, they coexist, side-by-side, enriching our lives by filling us with joy and strength. As terrible as tragedy and hatred are, I believe they serve as a means to contrast the positive things that happen in our lives. The more darkness we’ve seen and lived through, the brighter our sweet moments will be. Just as experiencing and witnessing acts of kindness and love make us more aware and able to spot injustices when they happen.

We cannot stop evil from existing, but we can use those moments to strengthen our own hearts and minds--to fight against it. And the only thing that can conquer the darkness is light. The only thing that can beat hate is love. It’s the circle of life, and if we let ourselves learn, keeping open minds as we go, embracing the positive, it can be an incredibly sweet journey.

I’ll leave you with this song about Love and Hate…Sweet and Evil.

SWEET EVIL
Author: Wendy Higgins
Release Date: May 1, 2012
Publisher: HarperTeen
BUY ON AMAZON

SUMMARY:

What if there were teens whose lives 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 to meet her father forces Anna to face the reality that hope and love are not options for her kind. When she confronts her destiny, will Anna embrace her halo or her horns?
