Well. Holy cow. I was thinking Plum Spooky was the beginning of the end, but Janet Evanovich continues to surprise me. This was another solid book. Not quite as good as the last one but pretty close. Boy, Stephanie sure got laid a lot in this book. A lot. She had three men confusing her instead of just two, had a surprising amount of Ranger sex, and was almost potentially sexually assaulted sort of. Did she pick one and stick with him? No.

I like the unusual level of continuation between this book and the previous, and the new situation for the bonds office is pretty entertaining. Lula thought she was going to turn into a vampire in this book and she broke up a cockfight.

The one thing about this book that wasn't impressive was that I guessed who the killer was as soon as that character was introduced. Like, in chapter two. And it isn't revealed until chapter 38. Also, the ending was a little contrived and convenient, but ultimately I didn't care because I was just glad it worked out somehow.

Really the worst in the series so far. They are my yearly guilty pleasure/fun read, so I was really disappointed.

Kind of a mixed bag here. Some of the humor common to to the series was present but the plot and action is getting very predictable.

Can't wait for the next book. Janet Evanovich keeps ya in suspense. This book was definitely smokin'!

Another classic Plum novel. I just wish her relationship would progress with either Ranger or Morrelli but this story seems to be frozen in time and not going anywhere.
