Wicked Charms
by Janet Evanovich, Phoef Sutton
I received an eARC of this book via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of this review.
Wicked Charms by Janet Evanovich and co-autho Phoef Sutton is the next book in Lizzy and Diesel's search for the SALIGIA stones. After a bit of an encounter at the beginning of this book, Lizzy is upset with Diesel and with good reason. So when he shows up three weeks later, unannounced, ready to drag her away yet again, she refuses. Can't say I blame her! He shows up when Glo has set her up on an impromptu date with the coroner they met at the pirate museum after they discovered the prop wasn't a prop, but an actual dead guy.
Lizzy has a bit of a crisis in this book. She's been attempting to publish her cookbook to make some much needed money without success. So when Diesel sends her cookbook, along with a batch of cupcakes to Martin Ammon, a megalo-millionaire who decides he likes Lizzy. Turns out though Diesel didn't do it out of the kindness of his heart. Oh no! Martin is the key to finding the next SALIGIA stone, the stone of Avarice or greed.
Wulf turns up more in this book which made me all kinds of happy. Plus there's pirates, Glo, and Hatchet to ramp up the comedy.
The plot of the book centers around finding the stone but also branches out a bit and develops the characters a little more. I enjoyed this, along with learning more about the "Unmentionables" (this is what Diesel and Lizzy are) and then there's also the cult that worships the stone.
This book is fast-paced, more so than the last two and kind of saves the series in my opinion. Not that I haven't enjoyed the first two books, but this one sets the series off! It's fun, a bit quirky, and in general I just had a good time reading it. Also there was a nod to the By the Numbers series that had me squealing with delight ;) If you enjoy a little fantasy, a little romance (which by the way is a bit hotter in this book than the previous two), and a touch of mystery, add Lizzy and Diesel to your TBR!
