Game On: Tempting Twenty-Eight
by Janet Evanovich
Stephanie is back with the usual cast of characters. And Diesel is back still being weirdly magical!
Coming off my last Janet Evanovich book, The Bounty which I hated, I was really worried that Evanovich had completely given over all her work to ghost writers who didn't really get her characters. If this one was ghost written, at least it's really well done!
Sure, the villain is over-the-top evil but that's acceptable considering he's being pursued by Diesel and Wulf who have long been established as Not Exactly Normal (see also all the Plum holiday books and the Lizzie & Diesel series).
The book checked all the standard, comforting Stephanie Plum checkboxes:
[X] Major FTA to try to catch
[X] Minor FTAs that lead to Stephanie almost but then failing to capture with humorous consequences
[X] Cause for tension between Morelli, Ranger, and/or Diesel
[X] Grandma being awesome.
[X] Stephanie's mom feeding an addiction to deal with Grandma and Stephanie (and it's not what you think this time!)
[X] Lula threatening to shoot people
[X] Stephanie's car exploding.
Sure this book is really the same basic book as the other books but with some minor differences, but I didn't read 47 Janet Evanovich books because I wanted variety.
Like a comforting favorite meal, it's delightfully familiar.
Thanks to NetGalley and Atria books for the advance copy.
