Life in Marblehead has had a pleasant predictability, until Diesel arrives. Rumor has it that a collection of priceless ancient relics representing the Seven Deadly Sins have made their way to Boston’s North Shore. Partnered with pastry chef Lizzie Tucker, Diesel bullies and charms his way through historic Salem to track them down—and his criminal mastermind cousin Gerewulf Grimorie. The black-haired, black-hearted Wulf is on the hunt for the relic representing gluttony. Caught in a race against time, Diesel and Lizzie soon find out that more isn’t always better, as they battle Wulf and the first of the deadly sins. With delectable characters and non-stop thrills that have made Janet Evanovich a household name, Wicked Appetite will leave you hungry for more.
It is slick and funny in typical Evanovich style.. While I enjoy Stephanie Plum, this one is a bit surreal for me as I don't 'do' fantasy very much unless it's a classic. Lewis Carroll, C.S Lewis, Roald Dahl and the more recent addition, J.K. Rowling immediately spring to mind. There's a passing resemblance to the NZ TV series The Almighty Johnsons. In other words 'too'..but...this too would work in the fantasy genre as a TV series.I might even watch it.
I enjoy Janet Evanovich as a rule. I was excited to see a new character as the theme of the book and the writing is classic Janet. The story was getting a little far fetched for me. The thing with Stephanie Plum is that while she is a character of extremes there are so many aspects of her personality that I can relate to. Whereas Lizzy, Diesel and the seven stones (representing the seven deadly sins) are just pure fantasy. Still a good no brainer read but not my favourite Janet Evanovich book.
I loved loved loved this book!!! This series is going to be so good! I really enjoyed that she used main characters from her "In Between Numbers" series. It was hilarious in only Evanovich fashion to point of laughing out loud. I can't wait for the next one!!
This book was pretty fun but not as good as the Stephanie Plum series. I've just started reading the second book, so I might like it better now that the characters are developing.

This is another fun packed, crazy novel with all the elements that make Evanovich so popular.

Pretty strange in places but hilarious, as usual
A light fun read. Great characters and hilarious dialogue. Really enjoyed it!
