Recensioner

This is the first book I read by this author and I can tell you that it will surely not be the last!

I loooooove mythology, and while I do prefer the Greek pantheon names over the Roman ones, I still loved it :D
The author really manages to build a very real and captivating world, giving you more than enough details when the story needs it and leaving it nice and vague in other places so you don't get distracted from the story.

Character development was very good. Psyche has never really met a man that wasn't besotted with her the moment he laid his eyes on her, so trusting that his feelings might actually be genuine even when her own are so so conflicted, can indeed be very hard. Trusting that he won't hurt you, trusting your own feelings. When put in a situation like Psyche, I think many of us would have a hard time.
Cupid learns a lot about humans, how to express himself when not relying on his powers, what is right and what feels wrong.
Both characters felt real and believable, with real emotions and real fears, yes, even Cupid. Oh, and I loved Renae, the caring housekeeper slash invisible companion. Though she couldn't say or do much, she was always there for Psyche, trying to offer some kind of comfort.

Pacing and flow were really good. I pretty much read the book in 1 go :) A very good balance between conversation and things happening.

The book itself was well written with no (noticeable) errors. And yes, there is sex described (if that is important to you).

All in all, even without my love for everything mythology, I would highly recommend this book. It just had me enthralled right from the start, very well written! :)

I've read this series twice now and I still can't pinpoint why I like it so much. I would immediately dnf another book for many aspects of this series, but this one is just something else.
One notable thing about the Sweet series is the main character, Anna. Unlike most other YA books, she has so much faith and does her best to make the world a better place. I can just feel her hurt whenever she sees something sad.
Now, where my hesitations about recommending this series come in: the content. As the description suggests, almost all the main characters have not-good parents to say the least. The parents force characters to work at convincing humans to sin and turn from God. As such, there is a lot of talk of drinking, drugs, s*x, etc. However, there is a massive transformation in certain characters throughout the series that makes the terrible situation hopeful. When it comes down to it, I would say that this series is firmly in the NA category.

One thing I forgot to add earlier, I really like how this series takes place over four years. In a lot of fantasy books, the story is over a couple of months. With a four-year time span, you can really see the characters grow and mature.

Content Note (for the whole series): There is no premarital s*x between Kai and Anna. An important part of Anna's journey is waiting until marriage. That being said, there are some parts to skip in each book because they do toe the line.

Sweet Reckoning was not as strong as the first two books (yes, the second book of the series is actually strong believe it or not), but I still recommend it since it pulls together the whole story.
Also, the epilogue was the absolute sweetest. I typically don't like epilogues but this one was 100% necessary and so wholesome.

Note: This book is NA as there is a closed-door scene between a married couple.
