Rendition During Books Wicked Appetite (Lizzy & Diesel #1)
For centuries, treasure hunters have been eager to possess the stones, undeterred by their corrupting nature. The list is long — Genghis Khan, Alexander the Great, Napoleon, to name a few. Now the Stones have found their way to Salem, Massachusetts, and so has Gerwulf Grimoire, adding himself to this rogues’ gallery of power seekers. He’s an uncommonly dangerous man, with a hunger for the forbidden, and a set of abilities that are way beyond ordinary. Abilities that he feels entitle him to possess anything he might desire. That would include Elizabeth Tucker, the woman he needs to find the Stones. She’s freshly transplanted from New York City to Boston’s North Shore. With a new job as pastry chef at Dazzle’s bakery and an old house inherited from her Aunt Ophelia, her life is pretty much on track …until it’s suddenly derailed by a guy named Diesel, a rude monkey, and a ninja cat. Lizzy can handle the monkey and the cat. She’s not sure about Diesel. He’s offering up his own set of unusual talents, promising to protect her from Grimoire. The kind of protection that Lizzy suspects might involve guarding her body day and night. The Seven Deadly Sins are pride, greed, lust, envy wrath, sloth and gluttony. That pretty much covers everything that is wicked. Diesel thinks it also pretty much covers everything that’s fun. And Lizzy thinks Diesel and the Seven Deadly Sins cover everything her mother warned her about.Rating Appertaining To Books Wicked Appetite (Lizzy & Diesel #1)

One word...RIDICULOUS!!!! I gave it a chance, to page 100, then skipped to the end, deciding I wasn't going to waste anymore reading time on it.I'd never read Janet Evanovich. I'm aware her books have been hits, bestsellers, yadda yadda. So, in an effort to try a JE novel, without starting with the Plum series, I picked this most recent work. Well, if this is how JE writes, I am no fan. Fluff. Wayyyy too fanciful. Sure, I enjoy a fantasy and the opportunity to get away, get involved in a story,Initial Impressions 9/24/17: The monkeys, Janet? Really? What's with the monkeys in these books? Anyway. I liked Lizzy and I like the new setting (Salem! Totally didn't pick this up on purpose because of that but yay!) but Diesel is really just 75% Ranger, 25% Joe Morelli. He's fun but none of this is very original, although I guess I didn't really expect that. I'll still continue the series. Janet Evanovich's books are fun and a nice brain-break -- perfect for listening while I work!
You: "You don't read Janet Evanovich. What gives?"Me: "Witches."You: "You know there's going to be romance in this story, right?"Me: "Yes, but...it's October. I wanted a witchy story."You: "So you picked this one? Out of all the witchy stories out there, you picked a genre you don't like by an author you no longer read?"Me: "YOU DON'T KNOW ME! Also, everything else was checked-out."You: "Well, don't come crying to me when you hate this."Me: "...well...you see..."You: *walks away, shaking head*
This was a fun series and a nice change in pace. I really liked Diesel from some of the Stephanie Plum short stories so it was nice to see him in his actual element but I have to say, I think I like him and Stephanie together as a team more than Lizzy and him but maybe that is just because I'm more familiar with it, who knows. It was fun seeing Carl though, he was a nice surprise to the story line.
I know some of you are out there shaking you heads already. Im sorry I cant help it. We, my Mother and sisters, have been sharing Janet Evanovich novels for a while. When a new comes out we take turns with them and have a nice time discussing them when we all get together over a lunch or something like that. Wicked Appetite is no exception. Diesel is up there for me with Morelli , and for some of my sisters Ranger. I read some of the other reviews on the novel on both Goodreads and Amazon before
No sir, I don't like it. This was terrible. It's the same formula as a Stephanie Plum book except with a paranormal spin and dumbed way down. I made it 4 miserable chapters before calling it quits.
Borrrrrrrrrring lol Way too much dialogue... Such an easy read, perfect for an audiobook in the car. This book really doesn't take any thought lol it's very one dimensional and flat. It's like rom-com meets slightly fantasy world. The best thing about this book was that it was sometimes comical.Similar to - J.R. Wards series The Black Dagger Brotherhood because of the sassy main character girl and hot men in a fantasy world. he Black Dagger Brotherhood is wayyyy better though.- Moon Called
