Funny & fast-moving, great light reading!

I found myself chuckling & curious, a nice combination for light entertainment. I am ready to read the next one in the series.

Wicked Appetite

I love all of her book and this one was just as good as all of her books.

Southern accent in Boston?

the story was fun, but it was hard to believe it was set in Salem. It sounded more like Scooby Doo and the gang.

love it

A big fan of Janet Evanovich and this is going to be a fun series. love the New England setting and the mystical elements of the story.
only had some difficulty with the audio, initially some skip and replay, otherwise it was fine

Fun and Fluff

I've always loved the character Diesel and I knew this book would be funny and not exactly heavy reading. I was correct. Just like the "between the numbers" books where Diesel was introduced this book is really funny with lots of laugh-out-loud moments which earn you really funny looks if listening in public.

Unfortunately I just couldn't warm up to the heroin. She and I got off on the wrong foot right at the beginning and it never improved... just seemed like an air-head with no redeeming qualities. Hence my three star rating. I love Ms. Evanovich's writing and I'm glad she is introducing new characters. Maybe this one will improve with age ???

Surpass My Expectations

Wicked Appetite will be my first in-depth audiobook review so bear with me.

My one hope going into Wicked Appetite was that it wouldn't be like the Stephanie Plum series, I knew if it was this book was going to suck for me. I want to say a huge thank you to Lorelei King and Janet Evanovich for giving Lizzy and Diesel their own 'everything,' their own unique world, and leaving everything that has Stephanie Plum's name attached to it back in her own literary world. This listen was awesome!

As soon as I started this audiobook I knew that Wicked Appetite was going to blow me away. The opening scene where we're introduced to the villain, Lizzy, Diesel, and the supporting characters of this story had me hooked.

The chick who kept casting spells, the middle-finger wielding monkey, the King Arthur wanna-be minion, and the spell-gone-wrong customer who talks in gibberish made Wicked Appetite one of the best stories I've read/listened to a while (for this particular genre).

My reaction to Wicked Appetite made me glad because I was almost ready to give up on Janet Evanovich all together because of how her Stephanie Plum series is going.

Stephanie is that you?

This book is just another Stephanie Plum novel. The names of the characters are different, but that’s about all. While I love the Stephanie Plum series I was looking for something different.

Great start of a series.

Lizzy accent is ridiculous. A girl from Fairfax, VA doesn't sound like she is from the deep south. Fairfax is a suburb of Washington DC. It was very distracting at times.


That said...I loved all of the characters and their personalities. Loved Glo and her spells.
Looking forward to book 2.

Fun listen

It made me laugh. That is why I listen to Janet Evanovich books. Most of the characters are likable. Looking forward to the next book.

a fun time

Perfect story for driving. Makes you smile in the worst traffic. Easy to follow the storyline no matter how many times you have to turn the book off.
