When I got this
book, I think I confused Janet Evanovich with Sara Paretski, which is a big
mistake. Now I learn that Evanovich writes romantic adventure novels rather
than Paretski’s Chicago-based crime novels. Oops. So, Evanovich does not write
in any of my favored genres. She has a “Wicked Series” of which Wicked Charms is the most recent.
Currently, the just-released hardbacks are being prominently displayed in
airport bookstores. I saw it in San Diego, Salt Lake City, Chicago,
Minneapolis, and Montreal. Then, it popped up in Net Galley, so I decided to
give it a go. At 10% into the story, I gave it a stop. The dialogue is absurdly
teenie-bopperish, and the story was clearly heading into the mystical, which is
of no interest to me. My mistake, but Evanovich is a best selling author, so if
this looks like your genre, give it a try. It’s just not my cup of tea, and
even that expression is wrong since I’m a coffee drinker.
