Stephanie Plum’s life is never boring, not even for a split second, in the adrenaline-fueled new novel from #1 New York Times bestselling author Janet Evanovich.

Synopsis:

In a now-or-never moment, Stephanie Plum made the decision of a lifetime. But some lifetimes are shorter than others and Stephanie will be lucky if she makes it to the end of the week.

Over the years, Trenton’s best-known bounty hunter has acquired a long list of enemies. It’s an occupational hazard as a bond enforcement agent. The problem is that she now has a mysterious enemy whose name isn’t on any list. Disturbing packages, threatening notes, and near misses are keeping Stephanie in the dark and her anonymous tormentor, who wants her dead, in the shadows.

Bond jumper Greb Tusi also wouldn’t mind getting rid of Stephanie. He’s wanted for going on a three-hour rampage—one that he swears “wasn’t his fault”—that included mugging an old lady and stealing a hearse.

And if adjusting to being newly married isn’t enough to take a few years off Stephanie’s life, working for her ex-fiancé and mentor, Ranger, might do the trick. Ranger has taken a security job for a powerful political figure, and Stephanie is in charge of babysitting one of the figure’s family members.

The clock is ticking for Stephanie to find bail-jumper Greb Tusi and the invisible stalker who is sending her increasingly menacing messages. If she lets her guard down for even a split second, her time will be up.

Review: 

Can you believe we've got 32 books of Stephanie Plum's chaos? Yup, thought I have to admit, I am Team Ranger, all the way, so I was a bit disappointed when Janet had her marry Morelli! At least Ranger is still in the picture (and always willing to come save her) and has Stephanie working for him on the side, while she still doing her bail bonds work, and her chaos still happens, wedding band or not! This book is a quick read (in fact, I thought it might be a good bit shorter than previous books, because I finished it so quickly, but its shorter only by about 30 pages from books in the middle of the series, so it's not really). The book is per Plum chaos, with unwanted suitors, an unknown threat and to spice things up some international work with Ranger....in short, the stuff we love! You know you need a fun fall read with your fav female bondswoman, so be sure to pick this one up!
