Wicked appetite

Wicked appetite - Janet Evanovich - 2011

Blurb ....
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. Who should turn up in her living room but Diesel (Visions of Sugar Plums, 2002), who is extremely handsome, very strong, and not entirely human (if not entirely angelic). Diesel is locked into a cosmic battle with his cousin Wulf, specter-thin with more than an air of sulfur about him. Lizzy, who may or may not have a secret, special ability, is needed by Wulf and Diesel to recognize objects of magical power. What follows is a romp that careens wildly between impossibly silly and impossibly adorable (and includes the reemergence of Carl the monkey from Evanovich’s Plum Spooky, 2009). 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 simultaneously dealing with some fairly specific threats involving Wulf and resisting Diesel’s obvious affection and attraction.

As usual Janet's stories leave you with a smile on your face. This one doesn't disappoint with the dangerously sexy Deisel and his latest quest to keep mankind save from the perils of evil. It is a laugh out loud, shake you head at the antics of the main characters, with a tease of sexual tension.
For those who love the Stephanie Plum series, it is a very similar story line with supernatural themes and her additction to all foods and a great sense of humour.

I absolutely love Janet and I am definately looking forward to the next book.
