Evil By Tijan



You know that group of people in school that everyone fears? Popular. Beautiful. The in-crowd? 
That was my family. Kind of. 
We were above that group. We held court over everyone else. We were the best looking. We were the mysterious and elusive ones. Most of the girls wanted to (and did) date the guys, but they didn’t want to be one of us. They couldn’t be. They were our prey. 
We were the feared. 
But like every family, nothing is as it seems. That was my truth. 
Kellan was in his own league. He was our leader and he was the one no one messed with. No one dared. He was ruthless, powerful, and no one could match him… 
Except for me. 
I was about to find out just how different I was from my family.


I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

First off, I read the sneak peak of Evil when I finished Logan Kade's book. It intrigued me from the very first chapter. 
Evil isn't my usual read but something about it captured me, so when I was gifted an ARC for a review I jumped at the chance. (Although, I still pre-ordered this beauty)
I haven't read a paranormal romance since Existence, by Abbi Glines. Nothing ever caught my attention, until now. 

Evil is about good and evil, angels and demons and who will win? Shay and Kellan are their own brand in a way and have connected from an early age. They've grown up as siblings but there is more to their story then meets the eye. 

There were times I couldn't picture where I was in the book, visualise my surroundings which did make it hard to connect to the book at times. I didn't feel Tijan explained it as best she could and instead rushed through it?? I don't know it's hard to explain. 

Anyhow... You could feel the connection and tension between the two main characters which had me instantly hooked. I was rooting for them from the beginning (Even when I thought they were siblings. Somehow I knew they weren't.) and I loved the mysterious and sexy Kellan. Hid devotion and protective side to Shay is what had me falling head over heals for him. He literally gives up everything he is to be with her. After all, he's a demon and.... well, Shay is a messenger. She's lovely, mixed up with so many emotions and so many hidden secrets that it takes us on a rollacoaster. Shay herself is the reason everything is so up in the air. She put a spell on herself when she was just an infant and ever since then has been living a lie. 

Both escaping from their pasts, trying not to tie their bond is really hard for both of them. Their connection to each other is so strong, so hot that we know they're going to snap any second, especially when Shay remembers her past and who she is. 

There are a lot of twist and turns and so many secondary characters that all have a main involvement. It made it more exciting to read. 
Shay's other siblings: I really wanted to like them, but I couldn't. Unlike Shay and Kellan, their twin brother and sister are actually blood related and slept together. I found that gross LOL!! Buy more than that they were pure evil where something in Kellan was good. He says it's because Shay brings it out in him, but I honestly believe it's more than that. I think there was good in him.

Tijan has brought back my love for paranormal. I'm a huge fan of Buffy, Charmed and all those kind of TV series. But it wasn't until the Twilight series and the Existence series that my love for paranormal romance novels began.
But like I said, I couldn't get into any books until now and I'm so glad I read it. I'm really hoping she writes another like Evil because I loved it.
