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?

My Thoughts:
I was so super excited to get this book because there had been so much rave about this novel in the blogosphere. As I cracked open this novel, I didn't know what to expect. But as I kept reading, nothing really seemed to hold my attention.
I wasn't a real fan of the main character Anna, as I felt she was a bit too much of a goody two shoes. Sure she might not be all the way human, but she acted so saintly in the beginning that it really got to me, because in reality, not that many people act that way. And then there was a situation with the drugs. I was furious that she wasn't even more angry and upset about what had happened, and that she wasn't furious at the individual that gave her the drugs.
Though her relationship with Kaidan was the only thing that was remotely interesting, I just felt that there wasn't much that had kept me interested. It felt like a mix of overdone genres, and I had stopped reading somewhere in the middle of their trip to see her father. There wasn't much of a real explanation of what was happening at the time, and overall, it just felt really lacking.
Would I recommend this book: No
Rating: I give this book a DNF.
