Evil

By: Tijan

Narrated by: Jorjeana Marie

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.

Not one of my favorites from Tijan.

Loved all Tijan's other books
but this one I struggled with.
I didn't like the story line at all

The heroine: Shay - she is a Braden and the Braden’s are different than everyone else in their school. They are looked up to, revered and feared. They are mysterious; what everyone else doesn’t know is that they have demon blood, they are not completely human. Though Shay is different from her siblings. Kellan, Vespar and Giuseppa are all tanned and blonde, with the look of golden gods, while Shay is pale with black hair. Vespar and Giuseppa are twins and have a bond. Shay and Kellen have their own bond and Kellan always protects Shay, who rarely uses her powers, though has the strongest powers of them all.

The Hero: Kellan - he is at the top of the hierarchy at school, all the girls want him, but they know not to expect anything after a night with him. Kellen is a senior, while Shay is a junior and the twins are sophomores. They use people and don’t feel bad about it. They are all beautiful on the outside but dark on the inside. Kellen has always looked out for Shay. He could also feel it when Shay was experiencing strong emotions.

The Story: Shay loves to paint, though she doesn’t tell her siblings anything about it. She likes the way her mind completely stops the minute she picks up a brush. The art teacher lets her into the studio whenever Shay needs to paint and sells Shay’s paintings at the small gallery she owns. She has said that Shay creates masterpieces ever since she first saw Shay doodling and introduced her to painting. Shay’s mind goes away while painting and returns when she is done.

There are other strange things in their family. At one point Shay says that she her parents are never around, it only has been the four of them. Yet Guiseppa says that their parents are around all the time. Shay has also been experiencing some weird things, she has been hearing voices warning her of things and she had a tattoo on her wrist that appeared and disappeared at odd times. She learns that she isn’t a demon, which scares her, because others know what she is, but she doesn’t because she isn’t ready.

This was an odd story, but I liked it, Tijan doesn’t do that many paranormal stories, so I was intrigued. Shay was a likable character and very relatable. She wasn’t as dark inside as the rest of her family, and she was happy to learn she wasn’t a demon, but she was always drawn to Kellan. It got really weird when their inner beings came out of them like they were separate entities. Though overall this was an extremely original paranormal romance, and I really liked all the characters and the action.

This audiobook was told mostly in Shay’s point of view via solo narration and was narrated by Jorjeana Marie. I like her voice; it is soft and feminine and very pleasant. She is also able to use different voices for different characters. She also sounds age appropriate for Shay who is a junior in high school.

female narrator speaks terribly.

I just couldn't listen to it. too bad, because WOW, Tijan books get read. You would think there would be better screening

A compelling read!

I first read Evil when Tijan published it on her website, I immediately fell in love with it even though it had a cliffhanger ending. Gasp! But rest assured - this is a standalone book so no cliffhanger!

This book is still intoxicating from the first time I read it till now. Kellan! *swoon*

Packed with secrets, betrayal, loyalty, messengers, demons, nephilim and romance.

Prefect for readers of paranormal romance.

I must admit I did not imagine the character's voice as how the narrator has portrayed them but I grew to like how the narrator has portrayed the voices. It was an enjoyable and fantastic performance.

Good….buttt

I usually love Tijan books. I liked this one. It wasn’t a love for me.

Hmmmm

When it started, it kind of sounded like it was going to be a spin off of Twilight ... but it wasn't. Maybe Mortal Insturments-ish. Liked the characters...especially Kellan Not the best I've read but it was just ok. It took me a while to finish it

Wow!

I was so surprised how good and addicting this book would be. When I read the publisher notes I thought it was about something totally different then I read the reviews that changed my mind. I want more!

Loved it

I have listened to this book so many times and have enjoyed it each time. The narrator is excellent! The story is really good. It’s exciting, suspenseful with twists and turn and just the right amount of heat. With a title like Evil, their is a still a lot of good floating around. Tijan has a way of creating a bad boy that is the perfect man to have in at your back and in your arms.

Next chapter!!!

I know this is a stand alone but it was so good I want to know more. Hoping for another book.

Gripping

loved it and had a good story line couldn't stop listening to it really pulled me in
