Search - Explosive Eighteen (Stephanie Plum, Bk 18)

Janet Evanovich definitely needs to be wrapping up this series. But I did enjoy this one more than the last few, but not by much. Through probably almost the first half of the book, I wanted to stop reading because it was the same story we've heard in all the books. Same old, same old. I never got sucked in or felt like "OMG", but I did feel like Stephanie grew up/acted a tad more mature in this book - not by much, but it was enough that I noticed.

I keep saying I'm not going to read anymore in this series, but heck, I'm 18 books into it now! Might as well go on till the end. She can't go on writing this series much longer.

Luckily all the books in this series are a quick read so you don't have to waste a lot time.

I was hoping this addition would start to wrap things up, but instead it repeated the same story with different characters. I so wanted to enjoy this story, but it seemed to lack something the earlier ones had. I didn't find myself laughing at Stephanie's mishaps or any of the scenarios happening in the story. I hope the next addition is better or that Ms. Evanovich decides to wrap this series up, with Stephanie finding someone who makes her happy and living happy ever after in the burg.

Janet does it again in another GREAT story in the Plum series!!! I recommend her books to everyone!!!

Another great installment in the Stephanie Plum series. It's a very fast and enjoyable read.

Like a lot of the other reviewers, I would have liked to have read more about Hawaii. It would have added to the book.

I read this book and loved it --- however it was not her usual hot romance and the clients she chased were not the usual vivid characters.

In spite of some negative reviews, I enjoyed this book immensely. It had a lot of funny, new characters, and hinted at some men drama between Stephanie, Ranger and Morelli that occurred while on vacation in Hawaii. Lula is her usual hilarious self, with lots of wisdom and phobias about love potions, rats, and bad juju. There are lots of laugh out loud moments, as Evanovich never fails to deliver.
