Smokin' Seventeen by Janet Evanovich
3.0
This is one of those series that I keep reading despite acknowledging that they aren't that good anymore and haven't been for a while. The last one I truly liked was number 11 (my favorite of them all). But I still love the characters so much that I can't help it, and I keep hoping that the series will return to its former glory. You know, with actually decent mysteries and character development. If this is anything like the last five, though, it will take me only a few hours to read, make me laugh a few times, and be totally forgettable.
ETA: Also, this book comes with stickers that say I [Heart] Morelli and I [Heart] Ranger, which greatly annoys me. Who are these stickers for?
UPDATE: Pretty much as I thought, though better than the last one. Stephanie actually caught some skips quickly, for once, though all the standard stuff was there (cars exploding, getting food thrown on her, capturing someone naked, etc.). My two major complaints are how obvious the villain was (even Stephanie should have figured it out the first time she watched the surveillance video, like I did); and how Evanovich reused the "cliffhanger" ending from a much earlier book, where we end with Stephanie about to make a "decision" between Ranger and Morelli for a special event. I just don't care anymore.
