Murdered and mummified nearly a century ago, notorious bootlegger Collier “Peg Leg” Dazzle discovered and re-hid a famous pirate’s treasure somewhere along the coast of New England. A vast collection of gold and silver coins and precious gems, the bounty also contains the Stone of Avarice—the very item reluctant treasure seeker Lizzy Tucker and her partner, Diesel, have been enlisted to find. While Lizzy would just like to live a quiet, semi-normal life, Diesel is all about the hunt. And this hunt is going to require a genuine treasure map and a ship worthy of sailing the seven seas . . . or at least getting them from Salem Harbor to Maine.
Greed is eternal and insatiable, and Lizzy and Diesel aren’t the only ones searching for the lost pirate’s chest. People who have dedicated their entire lives to finding it are willing to commit murder or make a deal with the devil just to hold the fortune in their hands. One of those people may even be Wulf, Diesel’s deceptively charming and enigmatic cousin. Wulf desires the Stone of Avarice. He also desires Lizzy. It’s hard to say how far he’s willing to go to gain either one.
Wicked Charms is a swashbuckling adventure full of raiders, monkeys, minions, and mayhem. Lizzy and Diesel are going to have to do everything they can to keep their heads above water and hope they’re living a charmed life.

Vacuous. Pure, vacuous fluff. Yet, even as I questioned why I was continuing on, I never really entertained DNF'ing it. Sort of like a paranormal I Love Lucy, or Beverly Hillbillies. The series arc revolves around 7 stones "of power", each representing one of the seven deadly sins. Each book's...

Come on, Janet. You can do better than this. Barely a handful of giggles through the whole thing, and Lizzy is sounding pretty much exactly like Stephanie Plum.
Lizzy and Diesel get a chance to snag a third Stone while on a treasure hunt, if only Wulf won´t get in the way, or the multi millionaire who also wants their help. Fast paced read, action, suspense and fun in a great combo. Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book in return for an honest rev...
