Shirley J. Adult Fiction Magical people, cookbooks, demons
O.K., I love Janet Evanovich's writing. I'm just making an observation, I think Lizzie Tucker is Stephanie Plum's magic alter ego and I love them both. Both series are fun with great characters and storylines and Diesel slips easily from the Lizzie & Diesel series to the Stephanie Plum series where he becomes a third person of interest in Stepanie's love life, too. (What would Lizzie say? Heck of a cat fight that one!) In this, book 2, of the Lizzie and Diesel series, Lizzie comes up with an idea for a cookbook and plies the publisher with her cupcakes to sweeten the deal. He is in love with her cupcakes, her cookbook, not so much. But, then, he does believe himself to be the reincarnation of one of the seven princes of Hell, the demon, Mammon to which he plans to ascend. Wolf is still lurking around and some people are turning up with handprints burtned into their flesh like the one he put on Lizzie. Hmmm, his signature move or is this a thing with some unmentionables? Lizzie meets a mortician who might be doable except that Diesel is front and center. What is up with the sonnet thing and its connection to the Luxuria Stone (the stone of Lust in keeping with the 7 deadly sins theme). Lizzie's one-eyed cat, Cat 7143 and Carl the monkey are back, as is Hatchett and Glo, Clara and Dazzle's bakery. Glo puts a bloating spell on Hatchett and gives a customer her order for free to hurry her out the door before the farts soak into her cupcakes! This book made me laugh till I had tears in my eyes. It's a riot! I recommend this one to mature middle schoolers on up. Diesel introduces everyone to the Sandman and who is Diedre Early? Loved this story.
