Hard Eight (Janet Evanovich)

Summary:
Stephanie Plum, bounty hunter, gets roped into going on the hunt for a woman and her daughter who have gone on the run to get away from her crazy husband and his mob-ish connections. Stephanie quickly realizes that it's not just because the woman's husband is nuts, there is something wholly else going on, and Steph is determined to figure it out. The tough spot with this particular case is that Stephanie runs into another bounty hunter from another agency who is looking for the same mother and daughter. This other bounty hunter just happens to be someone who may or may not have had a fling with Ranger, so of course Steph's jealous meter goes off the charts. And she and Ranger aren't even a thing... Are they? Steph's on-again-off-again, Morelli, would like to think not.

Thoughts:
It was definitely another good one. (Shocker, right?) I am really enjoying this series. They're the kind of summer reading books that make you want to read the whole entire series over the course of a few weeks. I've been trying to pace myself, but boy it's rough. These books are fun, and they're so quintessentially New Jersey. I recognize at least one mentioned location every book, and definitely recognize the character profiles. This one is a little more serious than most, I felt, but there's enough that you can't help but love it. When do I not suggest you get your hands on an Evanovich book? Never. Keep going with the series. It hasn't failed me yet, nor will it fail you. Enjoy.

Book 35 of 50

Pages: 326
Genre: Mystery with a side of romance
Grade: A-/B+
Would I Recommend?: Read this series. It's ridiculously fun. And there's plenty of it to enjoy, considering there's another ten books after this one!
