BOOK REVIEW: Wicked Business by Janet Evanovich
As a fan of fantasy-packed novels, I couldn’t resist my
rather roving hands from grabbing this book from a pile of books during one of
the Big Bad Wolf sales. The cover in all its twinkling-star glory just screamed
at me to pick it up. Goshhhh, do I have to say, this book delivered exactly the
magical genre that I deserved.
After the mysterious death of Harvard University English
professor and hopeless romantic, Gilbert Reedy, Lizzy Tucker’s once normal life
as a pastry chef in Salem, Massachusetts is turned upside down.
Following in Reedy’s footsteps, Lizzy and her very
attractive – but very unobtainable – partner, Diesel, take up his 20-year quest
to find the Luxuria Stone, an ancient relic believed by some to be infused with
the power of lust.
But soon Lizzy and Diesel discover they are not alone in
their search for the stone. Diesel’s cousin, Gerwulf Grimoir, also wants to
wield its power to fulfil his own wicked plans, and will stop at nothing until
he finds it.
Treasures will be sought and the power of lust is undeniable
in this ancient quest that is full of twisted riddles and high-stakes
hide-and-seek. An adult version of Sabrina the Teenage Witch, readers will be
thrown into a world of unlikely attraction, lust, magic and a sprinkling of
love to bind it all. Abracadabra!
