Review That ending. I NEED Book 7 now!!!
Amazing addition to the Charley series. I am really enjoying where this is going and the growth that I have seen in all of the characters in the series. I have never been happier or more excited for a series to move forward and produce more books.
Sorry it's so late I ended up going to see Godzilla
Ohh I want to see that , some of it was filmed right here in Waikiki. Did you like it ?

Oh no! Ugh- I was really hoping it was going to be good.

Rated: ★★★
Stephanie Plum was hit from every direction in this book. It makes one wonder why she didn't just take up basket weaving and call it a day. What should have been a simple "arrest" ending up being a web of drama involving counterfeit money, a really upset girlfriend, a non- gay transvestite and his infatuated gay roommate along with Lulu, Morelli, Ranger and Grandma. To top it off, Joyce, the one she caught spread eagle with her ex-husband while she was still married to him, has decided to join the bounty hunter team and gets in the way. Lulu, repeatedly takes care of her and the crazy lady just doesn't get it. Which was fine with me because I was in stitches with every encounter! An interesting scenario occurred which caused her to have to temporarily move in with Morelli. This arrangement brought about some realizations that she was not prepared to deal with. Stephanie has to make some decisions and I suspect the dynamic of their relationship will continue to develop as the series continues.
Wow Congrats Sha , I just put down the book I was reading , just can't get into it and searched for a new one and you are already done.I love your review I know a lot of people that should take up basket weaving .:O)
So changing my book to
its a 3rd book in a series.

Ha! Thanks Tia- sorry you didn't like your first selection. Sadly, I tried to start 2 additional books this weekend and just couldn't continue. It was dreadf. I hate not finishing a book but the torture was unbearable. LOL. I hope you like Ghost Moon better.
WTG Sha! Sorry you had to pick a new book, Tia. Hope Heather Graham is better!! I'm about halfway done with my book. Hoping to be done by tomorrow night at latest. We have relatives coming in from out of town for my in-laws 50th anniversary party this coming weekend. Should be fun but a bit crazy :)
Nice job Sha, that was really fast, I'm working on the book for the Uncover it challenge, but I'm thinking I'll finish that today, I've under a 100 pages left, and then I'll get started on
. Tia, Sorry you had to change your book to something else. Hope Ghost Moon will be a better choice for you.

Review: This series is getting good!! Gan was cracking me up for most of this book. Lots of stuff going on as they delve into a different realm. Things that affect that realm but also stuff that will carry over to Earth. Wondering if we will see more of the sidhe that we were introduced to?? Cullen and Cynna were cute together. Looking forward to book 5.
Nice going Melissa! Glad you are enjoying your series. :)

Oh well, I tried ! That's how I feel about this week. This book was just not interesting at all. I thought the plot sounded amazing but I love a lot of the ideas behind Heather Grahams books but every time I am thinking about reading one I look at the reviews and change my mind. This one in particular, I thought Id throw caution to the wind even though it was #3 out of a trilogy that I had not read because the topic was so interesting. It didn't seem to matter anyway that I had not read the others because there was no real story or connection that I noticed. The premise of Key West history and haunts sounded great, I have been there easily over a hundred times because it was only a few hours away from my house while I was growing up so I recognized the streets and landmarks she mentioned but as far as the "factual research" she did it wasn't very interesting and it wasn't anything I couldn't just read about on wikipedia.The creepy factor wasn't even there for me either and that's pretty bad since the whole book was supposed to tie in the ghost story to the mystery. Anyway, I will just listen to my instincts next time. :O)

You'll have a better one this week Tia. :)
I am reading an amazing book right now that I love so it's making me happy. Its
this is the coolest book , vampires vs. the Amish teens that are right about to go for Rumspringa . It sounds a little corny but this is a wonderfully written book with a lot of things to learn and think about while being super entertaining . It really is surprising me. I hope we get a 2 so I can read the next one next month.

Review:
This books follows Claire after she's signed a contract with the Vampire queen Amelia, that means she has to do anything Amelia asks. She soon finds out the sole purpose for this, and is shocked to find she actually wants to help.
At the same time weird things are happening and dead people shows up by their doorstep, and the police suspect that Shane is the one who committed the murders.
This book was pretty exciting all the way through. I just still think the series lacks something, but I've enjoyed reading the books nevertheless.

Review:
I really enjoyed this book. It was an amazing addition to a wonderful series. I really liked dwelling into Chris' past and reading how he has grown and how he is will to do whatever he can for his Sarah. I love how this change for them is a struggle and it doesn't come natural instead we see them go back and forth between trusting each other and revealing more of the secrets that has caused them to go through all of the pain and hurt that they have both endured.
When you are as damaged as these two characters no 2 characters should fall right into trusting each other it should be a fight and a struggle for them to relinquish control and trust until they are proving that they can to each other. Lisa does a great job of creating characters with a lot of depth and darkness to them that it's so far out of the norm you just can't fathom this happening in real life.
All in all this is another solid read for an amazing series.
I posted in post your spot so all we have to do is roll!!! GOOD JOB LADIES!!!
Im so glad you enjoyed your book and that series ! Great review
Thanks Tia it's really great. It was optioned for TV!

Glad you enjoyed your book. Man I hope for a good roll this week, I have three books I still have to read for may challenges, so I really hope I can use one of those. *Crosses fingers*
I will cross my fingers ! I am always a little bogged down too with challenge books at the end of the month :)

Stephanie Plum goes after a perfect saint and owner of the neighborhood candy store in book #3. As she is criticized for taking the assignment on bringing in "Uncle Mo", dead bodies are adding up and Uncle Mo is no where to be found. Stephanie, being the worst bounty hunter known to man, manages to drive everyone crazy while once again barely escaping death herself. While her skills are quite laughable, what she does have is guts. She lacks the ability to be discreet and fearful which plays to her advantage at the dismay of everyone else she comes in contact with. Her partner in crime, Lula, is taking the role of bounty hunter-in-training pretty seriously and has no filter or tact making encounters with suspects downright laugh-out-loud hilarious. This is my favorite one so far. The whole gang is there- Morelli; Ranger; Grandma; etc. and they all contribute in their own way to making this series quite enjoyable.
