Again had me laughing out loud in the middle of the night. I had to get up and wipe my eyes from laughing. This book is so much fun to read. The antics they get into and the back stories are great as well.

Yet another hilarious romp through Sinfull Louisiana with Swamp Team 3. Sadly it was over too soon. Already jonesing for the next one in the series.

It may be time to take a little break from this series. Fortune, Ida Belle, and Gertie still find themselves in the most ludicrous situations, always worthy of a chuckle or two, but the lying to Carter and having a laugh at his expense is getting old. It made sense in the beginning if you tilted your head and squinted really hard but this is book six now and the gag has worn thin. It also feels like insulting and disrespectful treatment of someone these three ladies profess to care about. So, I'm deducting points and taking a vacation from Sinful, Louisiana.

She left me hanging!!! But she also let me know there will be another and I can't wait! I don't think I could pick a favorite of the bunch, but if I was pressed ~ this one would be a contender.
I never expected to like this series, but it hooked me straight away. I am ready to move to the swamp, gators and all.

Warning: Review books book six AND seven.
I have to say that of the seven books that I have read so far in this series, these two are the ones that I liked the least.
The books are following the same style and pattern as the previous books which is not much of a surprise of course. Fortune stumbles into new cases of mischievous shenanigans by various misfits in the little Bayou town appropriately named Sinful.
As usual Fortune and her two friends embark on a journey to resolve the crimes perpetrated and, equally as usual, they are strongly told not to interfere. Why start to listen now when all has gone so well in the the past (irony)?
In book seven (Hurricane Force) she also, finally gets to confront Ahmad although that does perhaps not go exactly as planned in the end but then, which of Fortune’s plans have gone exactly as planned so far.
As with the other books in the series the books are a mix of mystery, investigation, some action and humour. Sometimes toilet humour (literally). Also, as with the other books, the humour part is sometimes a bit too much.
Still these two books were fun books to read.
What I didn’t like in these two books were that in book six (Soldiers of Fortune) the book spends too much time on this criminal asshat Celia and I really do not like that she managed to manipulate herself into becoming mayor. That is too much Brandon Regime for me.
Book seven though holds the real bummer for me. I was kind of looking forward to this book since the book blurb promised that Carter would finally learn the true nature of Fortune. To me this was really botched. How Carter, or rather the author, handled this was not the way I wanted it to go. To me that direction was entirely unnecessary and just there to create some rubbish emotional drama.
Well, I guess I have to see where the next book goes. So far these books have been too much fun to read to drop just because of a few twists that I did not like.
