According to my blog , it was on December 24th 2011 that I started my journey into the world of Stephanie Plum and now on 17th April 2013 , I only have two more to read :)
Well 4 more if you count the fillers :) but what counts is that I am making my way through them all.
Review: Smokin' Seventeen - Book #17 Stephanie Plum Series - Janet Evanovich - June 2011
It's Stephanie Plum time again with myslef plowing into Book #17 of the series. I found personally Book #17 to be not as powerful and intriguing as the others and I would agree that if you have not read the previous books in the series , then please do not read this one as a stand-alone as you will be confused. After the antics in Sizzlin' Sixteen which saw the office of Vinnie's Bail Bonds burnt to the ground - the team have moved their headquarters into the Mooner's Bus. The Mooner refers to Doug Mooner who went to school with Joe and Stephanie. In Smokin' Seventeen we read as Stephanie has her choice of men with the number going from two to three - she has newcomer Dave who can cook but he seems a tad stalkerish , Joe Morelli of course and the hunky Ranger who we see him and Stephanie getting down and doing the dirty and in more than one place. As always we have dead bodies turning up and numerous in the case of Smokin' Seventeen , an old man who thinks he's a Vampire and again what would a Stephanie Plum novel be if there weren't black "Rangerman" cars being blown up etc.
Smokin' Seventeen left on a cliffhanger as Stephanie was given two tickets to Thailand - so who will she take ? Joe , Ranger or will it be a girls trip with Lula or will she take the fun lovin' Grandma Mazur ?

Review: Steel Princess - Book #2 Royal Elite Series - Rina Kent - December 2019 At the end of Book #1, we were left on a cliffhanger of Elsa being pushed into the pool. At the beginning of book #2, she is saved by a newcomer to the school - Knox.  We can see some friendly flirting but nothing more going on between these two, but it riles up Aiden who still has this mindset of "if I can't have her, no-one can" especially since he is supposed to be engaged to Silver Queens. During Book #2 Elsa starts to recall some more memories and goes to Dr.Khan in hopes that he can open her Pandora's box and can restore her full memories of what happened before she was seven years old. We also catch a glimpse during this book of her past and why Aiden King's father blames her for his mother's death and why Aiden considered Elsa a ghost. I liked this book as it was more intense with Elsa's memories and past returning. In Book #2 it is revealed about he...

  Review: Punk 57 - Penelope Douglas - October 2016 As soon as I read Bully by Penelope Douglas, I was in love with this author. So when she released a new one who had my favorite theme of penpals and that whole friend to lovers going on, I knew I had to read it. The book started out with a bit of background where we learned about how Misha and Ryen were placed together in a classroom project penpal program. The pair continues to write to each other right through the year, and then they take it to the next level and continue through the rest of their schooling. Fast forward to high school Misha is in a band and Ryen is out with her friends and they complete a scavenger hunt form. Ryen is not what Misha expected especially from her letters. Tragedy occurs, and Misha turns up at Ryen's school under a fake name. This doesn't go over too well as Ryen is nothing like her letters, in fact, she is as fake as can be and Misha aka Masen hates her, in fact, she...
