Wicked Appetite

Oh, how delicious this book was! I love Janet Evanovich! In Wicked Appetite she has given Diesel, one of the characters from the Stephanie Plum between the numbers books, his own platform. And boy does he stand on his own.

Diesel is an Unmentionable. He has special abilities and works for an organization that tries to ensure that Unmentionables behave themselves. Elizabeth Tucker is a baker. A very good baker, especially when it comes to cupcakes. Turns out that Lizzy might also be an Unmentionable. She has an ability that Diesel needs to make sure that one of these evil Unmentionables doesn't get his hands on a powerful stone that could give him even more power.

There are seven stones of power, one for each one of the deadly sins, that have been guarded for centuries. They have also been sought by treasure hunters for centuries. Lizzy has the power to sense if an object has a special energy. Gerwulf Grimoire needs her power to find the first stone - gluttony. Diesel needs to make sure that Gerwulf doesn't get his greedy hands on the stone and he needs to protect Lizzy.

Sounds like a good supernatural/sci-fi mystery type book. But when it is written by Janet Evanovich, you can count on laughing out loud as you read. Crazy hijinks ensue with a supporting cast that will not disappoint, including a ninja cat and Carl the Monkey. I loved every page of this book! I was devastated when it was over. It seems like Ms. Evanovich may be setting us up for another series. I sure hope so! I would LOVE to see what Diesel and Lizzy get themselves into next! This one will be on my favorites list for the year. I highly recommend it to anyone, but especially if you are an Evanovich fan!

Happy Reading!
