Wicked Appetite

Magic in Massachusetts If you liked the Stephanie Plum Between the Numbers books, you'll most likely find this book to your taste. Wicked Appetite brings Diesel to Salem, Mass, and into the life of a lady baker whose only a little less magical than he, and two of her friends who are human, and a couple of more who aren't, but still add humor and character to the plot. I had to drop a star due to Mrs. Evanovich's insistence on leaving the "of" out of every "couple fill in the blank" which jerks me out of her story telling like a bucket of ice water in. First a Comedy, then a Comedy of Errors. This book started out really funny, but as it got into this highly far fetched story a bit of the comedy began to wear off. Still Lizzy and her somewhat magical partner were still on the search for four enchanted jewelry insects as the cast of half wit characters around them tried to keep the mood upbeat, the fantasy of escapism for the reader did its job as the book is easy to read and you still have the desire to keep reading in the effort to discover "what's next." A decent read but no Stephanie Plum novel.. I loved this story Shan This is my first Janet Evanovich book that I have read. My sister's love the Stephanie Plum series, but I am stickingwith Lizzy (wicked appetite). This story is about Lizzy, who lives an ordinary life, until she meets a guy named Diesel, anda cast of other strange characters. This story is unique, and funny, and laced with a budding romance. If you like a little magic spun in,I recommend this story. Can't wait to read the second book Wicked Business.Other authors I enjoyed: Cassandra Clare (City of Bones, series), Janet McNaugh

Diesel is locked into a cosmic battle with his cousin Wulf, specter-thin with more than an air of sulfur about him. Lizzy Tucker has a way with cupcakes, and she’s inherited a great-aunt’s 1740 saltbox house in Salem, Massachusetts, plying her trade at Dazzle’s Bakery in town. DeCandido . Lizzy gamely attempts to make sense of oddly magical occurrences (in possession of one of the magic charms, she can’t stop eating; in possession of another, she wants household goods and babies now), while sim
