Plum Spooky

Title: Plum Spooky (A Between-the-Numbers Novel)

Author(s):
Janet Evanovich

Summary:

Turn on all the lights and
check under your bed.
Things are about to get spooky
in Trenton, New Jersey.

According to legends, the Jersey Devil prowls
the Pine Barrens and soars above the treetops
in the dark of night. As eerie as this might
seem, there are things in the Barrens that are
even more frightening and dangerous. And
there are monkeys. Lots of monkeys.

Wulf Grimoire is a world wanderer and
an opportunist who can kill without remorse
and disappear like smoke. He's chosen Martin
Munch, boy genius, as his new business
partner, and he's chosen the Barrens as his
new playground.

Munch received his doctorate degree in
quantum physics when he was twenty-two.
He's now twenty-four, and while his brain is
large, his body hasn't made it out of the boys'
department at Macy's. Anyone who says
good things come in small packages hasn't
met Munch. Wulf Grimoire is looking for
world domination. Martin Munch would be
happy if he cold just get a woman naked
and tied to a tree.

Bounty hunter, Stephanie Plum has Munch
on her most-wanted list for failure to appear
in court. Plum is the all-American girl stuck in
an uncomfortable job, succeeding on luck
and tenacity. Usually she gets her man. This
time she gets a monkey. She also gets a big
guy named Diesel.

Diesel pops in and out of Plum's life like
birthday cake—delicious to look at and taste,
not especially healthy as a steady diet, gone
by the end of the week if not sooner. He's an
über bounty hunter with special skills when it
comes to tracking men and pleasing women.
He's after Grimoire, and now he's also after
Munch. And if truth were told, he wouldn't
mind setting Stephanie Plum in his crosshairs.

Diesel and Plum hunt down Munch and
Grimoire, following them into the Barrens,
surviving cranberry bogs, the Jersey Devil, a
hair-raising experience, sand in their under-
wear, and, of course . . . monkeys.

My Review:
Okay . . . so I really love this series. It was a fantastic book, but like usual all the books in this series are. The only thing that I'm still waiting on is when she will hook up with Diesel. She's had a fling with all the other guys and she already knows Diesel wants her and that he won't act on what he feels, so it's going to have to be up to her. Maybe before long they'll hook up. But in all honesty, this book was awesome. Of course this book didn't include her family nearly as much as the others have, but it's still good. It still had a lot of her screw up mistakes in it, who am I kidding, it wouldn't be Stephanie without those mistakes.
