Nichole This was my first book by her. I'll be reading Mystery Man real soon though. I'm using it for a challenge in the RRRC group. I'm sure I will get to the rest soon enough :)

~Melissa~ Personally I liked the Rock Chick series a little bit more than Mystery Men series. #2 & #3 of Mystery Men series were my favorites. I just pre-ordered #8 Ally's story

You are so right Nichole. Me too!
I counted that if 10 person read 10 books in 2 weeks we'll make it. We have more members than Moonstone.
Moonstone you are awesome readers and as a Team so coherent.
