I love the Stephanie Plum series. This one is my new favorite. When is the new book coming out. I have already ready several of her other series. And would recommend them. My favorites are the Stephanie series.

I love Stefani and Lula. They have excellent adventures. This was the best.

I’ve been a fan for decades, there is a comfort in knowing the familiar characters and antics. The comfort food of books.

Love all of these books. They make me laugh out loud and give me anxiety waiting to see what kind of trouble they get into!

** SPOILERS ** The writing style for Stephanie Plum has changed. Perhaps this is due to most recent change of publishers. There are good things, like more depth to some of their crime/drama/mysteries and more length to the books themselves, but there are definitely bad things for true Stephanie fans as well. For instance, changing her best friend’s name from Mary Lou to Mary Ann, Joe no longer calling her Cupcake (OK, once), Ranger no longer being referenced as Cuban-American but just of Spanish decent (while true in broad strokes but not all & why the change?). On the subject of Ranger, I definitely miss the sexual tension between the pair. There has always been animal magnetism, so I find it hard to believe that he would not plant some serious kisses on his new fiancé upon returning from out of town, let alone plan on spending the night with her! I for one miss the heat between them as well as the mocha-latte references. I also miss the humor that used to be present in this series. While there are humorous events and humor with Grandma Mazur, there hasn’t been anything like Kevin the giraffe in Takedown 20 since the switch to Simon and Schuster. S&S need to better review for spelling & continuity in case Mary Ann was a mistake, also grandma Mazur v. Grandma Mazur. All the characters seemed to have been toned down. Too much in my opinion, especially Lula. While we’ve seen Lula progress on many fronts and has had some keen insight, I feel she’s just too dry now. I’m very glad there continue to be Stephanie Plum novels. I’m a huge fan and will continue to read them, but for how much longer really depends on how much further down this path they run. Still time to make some changes, to the writing style and this particular plot line.

As usual a great page turner. Happy to read that the characters are evolving. Can always depend on some laughter with these books. Well worth reading!

I’ve been reading Janet Evanovich’s books since One for the Money. I have loved them all. And this one was just so much fun. Thanks for always keeping us wondering what’s next.

Funny
