mfabiano726's review against another edition
I am a huge fan of the Stephanie Plum series, but this in between the numbers book, was just OK. The reason I didn't like it was because of the superhuman aspect. I thought it was silly and unnecessary. One of the main reasons I like this series is because of the realness, down to earth and relatability of the characters. When you throw in characters who have superhuman powers into a book that still has those real characters, it just doesn't make sense! Of course, Stephanie is searching for an FTA , Sandy Claws, who is a toy maker that makes "special" toys. In this story, she gets help from a man, Disel, who literally pops into her kitchen. His goal is to keep Claws safe from Ring, an old man who posses the power to make it lightening. They work together to achieve both of their goals.

Having finished all current books before realizing these existed it was fun going back in time. I also read this after the first 2 Wicked books, so I had a background with Diesel already. Great audiobooks to pass the time. And, we can always have more Lula.

blah. not enough morelli, and ranger didn't even make an appearance. plus she ripped off the whole "sandy claws" thing from tim burton's "the nightmare before christmas." and the mystery was not mysterious. and it wrapped up too quickly, in a lame way.
i would give it one star except that it only took an hour to read, so i'm not begrudging the wasted time.

I didn't like the "supernatural" theming on this one. One of the things I like about this series is that it seems so real, if a bit exaggerated at times.
