 Could this series get any worst? November 10, 2008

The time has come for JE to take a break from that Stephanie Plum books. I have been a fan since the first book and I can tell you that reading the last three books including FF has been a chore. In fact, I returned FF to the library without finishing it because imo the whole plot was boring and out-dated.
I also hate the way Lulu has been written in the last two books. She is becoming almost bitter and hateful instead of the free-spirit she once was. And her relationship with Tank is just embarrassing on all accounts.
And as much I did like the fact that cars, empty guns and Rex were not mentioned as much. This Stephanie had absolutely no real depth or passion. I am not sure if JE can write Stephanie as a complex and balanced character but that is what is needed if she expects Stephanie to grow as a character.
Also as much as fans want Stephanie to pick a side imo that won't ever work and nor should she. As long as Stephanie continues as a bounty hunter she needs the balance of both men. However, the problem I have is that Joe has now become so damn dull and it almost seems that he should be with Stephanie because his character is non-existent without her. IMO JE should also write Joe and Ranger as individual characters and tie Stephanie into their story line's. This will flesh out their characters and also give Stephanie more depth. Because Joe going to work and wanting to have sex every other page has lost its appeal to many readers. And as a Ranger fan, I think it would be a lot more exciting if he did in fact meet someone "real" and allow Stephanie to deal with her real feelings for him. Instead of acting like since she can't decide if she wants to marry Joe she is mess around with Ranger instead.
Either way something has to give or else this series will no longer be known for its freshness but a way for JE to retire early.

I have read every book in this series and had to force myself to finish this one and #13. Janet's books started out being both suspensful and laugh-out-loud funny, but these two had boring and silly story lines with very rushed and abrupt endings. Half-way through this book I really didn't care what the outcome was. I hope that future reviews fare better for additional books in this series, but for now I think I must take a break from reading them. Thank goodness I checked #14 out from the library and didn't actually pay for it!
Good, just not as good. November 3, 2008

I liked this book and am glad I read it, it's just not as good as the rest of the Stephanie Plum books. I'm looking forward to 15!

It is amazing that Janet manages to produce a book every year with fresh
appeal.The beginning is like going home to old friends and I noticed I was smiling at the end.
What more can you ask from a book?

I am a BIG fan of the author. My entire family reads and RE READS the Stephanie Plum series. We talk about a movie and who would play who. My 85 year old Mom screams with laughter reading about Gramma Mazur until Fearless Fourteen. My teen said it was boring. It took two weeks to finish it whereas she usually reads them in a few days. Me, I never finished it. I put it down and that was it. It was totally boring.
This to me is what happens when an author pounds out a book each year..she / he loses their creativity and enthusiasm.
I think it's time for a new series for me..any recs please?
