Casting Spells by Barbara Bretton (TheLibraryhag)
TheLibraryhag: Same sort of magical craziness. Casting Spells is very out there but they remind me of each other.

Demon Hunting in Dixie by Lexi George (TheLibraryhag)
TheLibraryhag: Both funny and quirky paranormal.

A Veiled Deception by Annette Blair (TheLibraryhag)
TheLibraryhag: Both books have sexy guys and are very funny. Both are magically delicious.

Mystery

BooksInMirror | Feb 19, 2024 |

I stopped reading less than ten minutes because of how this was written. It was annoying hearing the main character's life story for the first few paragraphs but I was willing to deal with it. She then goes into detail describing her boobs and I came to the realization that this wasn't for me. (

A fun start to the Lizzie and Diesel series. Looking forward to reading the second and third books in this series and re-reading the Stephanie Plum series to figure out when Wolf crosses over into the series. (

Diesel has been a side character in the Stephanie Plum series, dropping in and causing extra chaos to her life. He pops into Lizzy’s life and lets her know that she is a magical finder of what he needs to find. He is on a mission to find magical stones that personify the Seven Deadly Sins. Madcap things happen and it is a fun light read. (

Epigraph

Dedication

First words

My name is Elizabeth Tucker.

Quotations

“The way it’s been told to me is that there are seven deadly sins known collectively as SALIGIA. Envy, Pride, Greed, Gluttony, Lusty, Grumpy, and Sneezy.”
“I think some of those were dwarfs,” I said to Diesel.
“Maybe, but I’m in the ballpark. SALIGIA represents the first initials for the Latin names for the sins. Superbia, Avaratia, Luxuria, Invidia, Gula, Ira, Acedia.”

The boxes were filled with the sort of junk you acquire over a lifetime and can’t discard but no longer need.

Ophelia was a little New Age in her old age.

“Evil is relative.”
“That’s a convenient attitude taken by people who do bad things.”

I accidentally kicked him hard. Twice.
