This was a fun book. I'm a big fan of the Wicked books so this was particularly good for me. I love the introduction of Diesel and the mixing of Stephanie's very real world with Diesel's not-so real world. It's my second favorite Stef now.

Only reason I read this book was because I read in other reviews things happen that continue in book 9. Otherwise, I completely skim read it.

Short Review: This was a nice little short story to add to Stephanie Plum series. I was cracking up over the elfs thou and every time she said Clause my kid went nuts. The creepy dude in her apartment would have made me pee my pants, but not Plum since that stuff always happens to her! It's hard for me to review novellas since there isn't much to them. I liked it thou :D

I have to say this book surprised me with how good it was I give it five stars because it actually gave me chills with the ending it was so perfectly wrapped up. I was looking for a book written by someone I already knew I loved and for a book with a narrator voice I already knew I loved but I didn't want it to be a long one like most of my series books are. This book fit the bill by being less than 150 pages and being a spin off series of the Stephanie Plum books. Great job Evanovich I really loved it!
I love Stephanie Plum but I was slightly disappointed by this book. It made me laugh in a few spots, but it wasn't enough to keep my interest for long.
"Visions of Sugar Plums" by Janet Evanovich is a "Between-the-Numbers" novel in the Stephanie Plum series. It is really more of a novella; very short and not as detailed as the regular series.
In "Visions of Sugar Plums" Stephanie is faced with something completely new: a man appears in her kitchen out of nowhere. She can't figure out what kind of supernatual being he is, but isn't too frightened of him. Of course, it doesn't hurt that he's hot (kind of like every man in her life-how lucky is she?). She lets him tag along on her current apprehension since she's feeling frazzled at the fact that it's a few days before Christmas and she's trying to pick up a skip named Sandy Claws. I mean really, at that point, what's a hot, supernatural guy going to hurt?
I read this book in about two hours. It was just as hilarious as all of the other Stephanie Plum books, just quicker to read and with fewer twists. It would make a great read for a work commute or a short flight. Just be open to the fact that the supernatural element is never explained. Who needs an explanation with Stephanie's life though?
