Fun Fun Fun! Exciting, Action Packed. But honestly, as much as I love this book, it felt a little long winded at parts, but the author is very descriptive while being a little long winded. :)

Sorry Mom and Tricia - I know you love these books, but the writing was so cheesy and simple that I simply couldn't get through the book! I tried!

I was pleasantly surprised by this book! It has been recommended to me by several people, so after having it for months on my night stand, I finally gave it a chance...I loved it!!! A colleague of mine, who owns and has already read the entire series, has brought the rest of the books in for me to read. I am looking forward to continuing on with Stephanie Plum and Morelli! Stephanie actually reminds me a bit of myself - I like her spunk and I know for certain she has an accent just like mine. A fun book to read!

⭐️⭐️⭐️.5/5

I read this a few years ago and the three books that followed, but then never continued. Now that there are thirty installments out, I figured it was time to reread the first few and continue the series. 

I forgot how fun this book was! It’s got humor and the main character is a hot mess but that’s why everyone loves her. She proves everyone wrong in the end that she is more capable than they give her credit for. I also really liked the case that she was on as a new bounty hunter. It was interesting trying to figure it out with her and then seeing how it ultimately played out. 

I enjoyed the narrator as well. This takes place in NJ and the narrator did a fantastic job using a NJ accent for the characters. For me, that made it more fun and easier for me to pay attention to. 

This was a short read too, so it was easy to fly through it. I’m looking forward to rereading the next book and seeing what happens since I don’t remember!

It took me way too long to realize this is the plot of a movie I watched 12 years ago....

Anyway, I love this, but I don't think I want to keep going with this series. 24 novels makes it easy to fall out of love with a character.
