Larry Virgil skipped out on his latest court date after he was arrested for hijacking an eighteen-wheeler full of premium bourbon. Fortunately for bounty hunter Stephanie Plum, Larry is just stupid enough to attempt almost the exact same crime again. Only this time he flees the scene, leaving behind a freezer truck loaded with Bogart ice cream and a dead body—frozen solid and covered in chocolate and chopped pecans.
As fate would have it, Stephanie’s mentor and occasional employer, Ranger, needs her to go undercover at the Bogart factory to find out who’s putting their employees on ice and sabotaging the business. It’s going to be hard for Stephanie to keep her hands off all that ice cream, and even harder for her to keep her hands off Ranger. It’s also going to be hard to explain to Trenton’s hottest cop, Joe Morelli, why she is spending late nights with Ranger, late nights with Lula and Randy Briggs—who are naked and afraid—and late nights keeping tabs on Grandma Mazur and her new fella. Stephanie Plum has a lot on her plate, but for a girl who claims to have “virtually no marketable skills,” these are the kinds of sweet assignments she does best.
My thoughts:
I can not stop reading these books. But hey to be honest, this one was good for once. It has been a while.
I am still SOOOOOO tired of them.
A car was blown up as always
Lula was supposedly funny
Gran was supposedly amusing
Morelli was there for smexy times and lasagna
Ranger called her babe
She failed to catch skips
And for some reason SHE was the one Ranger sent undercover and then took her to find the killer. Srsly, I would take some with skills and not this miserable excuse for a human being.
But it was funny at times. It has not been funny for some time. Mostly annoying.
And I can not stop

Yeah, I gave up on this series a while ago
ReplyDeleteI just keep on hoping there will be something new in there
DeleteI love your review! I used to read this author but stopped a while ago.
ReplyDeleteHonestly...the books are crap
DeleteI totally get not being able to stop reading a series even though the books aren't bad. I read a couple of books by this author in this series, but it got old real fast.
ReplyDeleteI hate them by now. This one was actually good, but I still hate it
DeleteYet another person who gave up on the series. Gah. Remember how great the first books were?!
ReplyDeleteI loved them! After book 12 it was downhill. A few good ones, but still annoying
DeleteI haven't ever been too interested in this series and none of the reviews for the more recent installments have lured me in.
ReplyDeleteFor What It's Worth
Omg no, it's like...read the 7 first and then you can read the last one when it comes around
Deletemy mom was obsessed with this series so I had some knowledge about it. 20+ books and it sounds like there is no character development. guess Morelli and Ranger are still around tho.. God I hope it doesn't turn into another Anita Blake..
ReplyDeleteShe will keep on writing them cos she gets money but OMG change the formula
DeleteHahaha! I was nodding at your list of things that happen in these books. They are so formulaic, but entertaining enough. :)
ReplyDeleteEvery freaking book
DeleteRanger is the only thing I still love. *pets him*
ReplyDeleteI can't even love him these days :/
DeleteI never really did get into this series. I like Evanovich, just not this set of characters.
ReplyDeleteI loved it, back in the day
DeleteI found your comments funny. Annoying but you can't stop reading them. I guess there something you like about the books.
ReplyDeleteI just want to know how it ends!
Deletetotally
ReplyDeleteLOL! At least not stopping paid off this time! :)
ReplyDeleteFor once
DeleteThat is me. I keep reading them though they annoy me at times. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL, I am glad I am not alone
DeleteHa ha great review! Some series are like that- kinda past their expiration date maybe but once we're hooked...
ReplyDeleteLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOng past it's expiration date. That is when I stopped buying the,
Deletelol. I have the first book and want to try it one of these days. :)
ReplyDeleteRead the first and the last when it comes around, lol
DeleteGave up after the first book.
ReplyDeleteI liked the first 7
DeleteEvanovich sure is the "queen of kick-ass crime" the way she keeps pumping out these books. But of course, quality is more important than quantity. I'm glad this one ended up being better than the last few!
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
It was funny, but still, I knew everything that would happen. SHe is frankly boring these days
DeleteHehehe..you are hilarious. I have never tried this author.
ReplyDeleteI have heard this author is addicting to read.
ReplyDeleteSad and true
DeleteOh my! You review had me in stitches. I must say you have patience to continue reading the series.
ReplyDeleteAt least they are easy to read and it takes like an hour
DeleteI have to say I agree with you. I am addicted to these books as well. I am addicted to several of Janet's books. She has a great skill set!
ReplyDeleteI just can not stop
DeleteSome series just go on way way too long.
ReplyDeleteso true
DeleteI should try these. I've heard the audio is good. My favorite female narrator, Lorelei King, does them, right?
ReplyDeleteNo idea, never listened to them :)
