Wicked Appetite reviews

This was a fun, easy book to read. The plot was a little out there but that’s what reading fiction is all about anyway. I enjoyed the quick and witty dialogue in Wicked and thought the action moved along quickly, no slow spots. Even the non-human characters Cat and Carl had interesting personalities and when not reading the book, I found myself wondering what they’d be doing next. The New England setting and Lizzy’s profession as a baker, adds to the interest and atmosphere.
Review by Lynne

I laughed throughout the entire book. I could not control myself. This book should be read perhaps on the beach or in a waiting room. It’s not a deep thinker; it’s just a very enjoyable experience. I will definitely read it again.
Review by Carol

 I just finished this book and loved it. It has just enough suspense, romance, and humor to make it a great read. I am looking forward to reading the next book in the series.

March reading

For March, you have the option to read one of two books (or both).

 

Miss Peregrines Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs. 
                
“A mysterious island. An abandoned orphanage. A strange collection of very curious photographs.
It all waits to be discovered in Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children, an unforgettable novel that mixes fiction and photography in a thrilling reading experience. As our story opens, a horrific family tragedy sets sixteen-year-old Jacob journeying to a remote island off the coast of Wales, where he discovers the crumbling ruins of Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children. As Jacob explores its abandoned bedrooms and hallways, it becomes clear that the children were more than just peculiar. They may have been dangerous. They may have been quarantined on a deserted island for good reason. And somehow—impossible though it seems—they may still be alive.
A spine-tingling fantasy illustrated with haunting vintage photography, Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children will delight adults, teens, and anyone who relishes an adventure in the shadows.” Description courtesy of Amazon.com

Wicked Appetite, by Janet Evanovich.

You can take this out in either audio disc or hard cover!

“Life in Marblehead has had a pleasant predictability, until Diesel arrives. Rumor has it that a collection of priceless ancient relics representing the Seven Deadly Sins have made their way to Boston’s North Shore. Partnered with pastry chef Lizzie Tucker, Diesel bullies and charms his way through historic Salem to track them down—and his criminal mastermind cousin Gerewulf Grimorie. The black-haired, black-hearted Wulf is on the hunt for the relic representing gluttony. Caught in a race against time, Diesel and Lizzie soon find out that more isn’t always better, as they battle Wulf and the first of the deadly sins.” Description courtesy of Amazon.com

I am also still encouraging readers to make suggestions on future book club selections and to submit reviews on books that are not on the reading list.

 Happy reading everyone!
