Janet Evanovich Sizzling Sixteen and Plum Spooky

Last week I decided to catch up on some of the Janet Evanovich Books. Sadly, I think I am finally with all other Plum lovers. Please end it, or please let Stephanie choose between Ranger and Morelli. Every Plum lover has their own opinion on who Stephanie should end up with. I personally want her to marry Morelli. These last two books, Stephanie has 'started' to imagining her life other than a bond enforcement agent.

In Sizzling Sixteen, Stephanie Plum has inherited her Uncle Pip's "lucky bottle." However, Stephanie can't decide if it brings good luck or bad luck, or if it doesn't necessarily bring good luck but it saves her from the bad luck. 

Biggest problem is that Vinnie, Stephanie's boss and relative, is kidnapped and held for ransom. A $789,000 ransom that increases in interest with time before it is paid. Stephanie is late on rent and has no money to her name. Stephanie, Lula, and Connie have a plan. If they can find away to rescue Vinnie, then they will be able to buy some time to come up with the money. Except, finding Vinnie in the middle of war between a bad guy and a worse guy.   While Stephanie is trying to find Vinnie, she is also trying to find new skips to bring in some money. Will the lucky bottle help?

Yes, Janet Evanovich has a way with words, and she will keep the reader entertained. From Grandma Mazar to Ranger the reader will laugh and continue reader. The problem is that Stephanie character does not grow. Book after book, she is the same person, and I am getting frustrated. 

In Plum Spooky, Diesel comes back to town. Problem is he always  wanting something. Stephanie is searching for a new jumper and the man associated with him is no other than Wulf. Wulf is another unmentionable and the reason mysterious Diesel has appeared into Stephanie's kitchen, along with a monkey. Everything about this book is spooky. 

For some reason I have never really enjoyed any of the unmentionable books. They are good fluff reads but there is no substance to them. There is more of a 'para-normal' thing to it, and Evanovich adds more humor to these. Although, I get frustrated that there is no development in the characters. I will continue to read every Stephanie Plum book. 

Stephanie Plum takes the BIG SCREEN!

Until about four years ago I only read a book if I was required to for a class or if someone pushed me. I am not ashamed to admit that one of those books was indeed Twilight. Yes, I enjoyed the first one in the saga and then I found myself disappointed. A friend told me I should read the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich, and it took me a few months to actually pick up One for the Money. Since then I have never looked back. If I am in a bad mood I just find a Stephanie Plum novel and relax with a cup of coffee in my hand. So you can understand my excitement when I finally learned that they are creating a movie of of the first book. If anyone else is finding this out for the first time I attached the Official Trailer, so you can get giddy with excitement!

I need to get out more often, because I just now learned that Stephanie Plum is hitting the theaters two months from now! I am looking forward to seeing this in theaters. I am only a little disappointed in who they chose to play Ranger. I wanted someone more... exotic. I love Katherine Heigl and she will give an interesting spin to the Stephanie Plum I have imagined for so many years. Any one else looking forward to to this movie? What do you think about the cast? I just hope that I am not disappointed. I do admit that most movies are NEVER as good as the books. I'll just have to wait and see!
