I was not quite aware of what I was getting into when I chose this book. It is not a genre I am generally happy with but the author was one I have seen on several blogs so I thought its time I gave it a fair go! Was I in for a surprise.
Monkeys, pirates, sort of vampirish figures, buried treasure, spells, a man behaving like a dog, a cupcake and bakery shop filled with delicious treats and characters definitely out of the ordinary.
A story of hidden treasure and clues hidden in a coin and a diamond and naturally every one around is hurrying trying to get there first.
Greed and avarice and a bit of lust thrown in for good measure this was a very different read for me.
Very pleasant!

I could not deal with this series, too much
ReplyDeleteNice that you enjoyed a change. I haven't really read anything much by JE but I believe she can be quite humorous too!
ReplyDeleteI've never read these or her Stephanie Plum series though I did watch the film version of One For the Money. A lot of people seem to like her writing. Glad you enjoyed this.
ReplyDeleteI've read a lot of her Stephanie Plum books but I'm not sure this is for me.
ReplyDeleteSweetheart, I don't know you but Jesus does, and if Jesus knows you and I know Jesus, then I know you. I wouldn't be so overly concerned with what nasty America thinks; I would only be concerned about how do I reach Seventh-Heaven and my family.
