Book Review: Going Rogue, Rise and Shine Twenty-Nine (Stephanie Plum, #29) by Janet Evanovich

Going Rogue: Rise and Shine Twenty-Nine (Stephanie Plum, #29) by Janet Evanovich was published on November 1, 2022. The novel opens with Stephanie Plum arriving at the bonds office on a Monday morning, and office manager Connie Rosolli isn't there. When Stephanie finally gets into the office, the file room has been tossed. Then comes the ransom call, which sends Stephanie on the hunt for a mysterious coin that she needs to get Connie released. The Stephanie Plum book series is one that I've come to love and enjoy when I need a light read that will give me some laughs. Right off the start, this edition has yet again made me think it's now being ghost written because Lula is asking if one of the people bonded out by Vinnie is Joe Morelli's grandmother. Lula already know who she is, so this is what made me think that it's ghost written. If the author just wanted to reintroduce Bella, there had to be a better way to do this. With that being said, I absolutely lov

book review the wrong number fear street rl stine

The Wrong Number (Fear Street, #5) by R.L. Stine is about best friends Deena Martinson and Jade Smith being typical teenagers and playing pranks on their classmates. When Deena's half brother Chuck catches them in the act, he gets involved, and things go horribly wrong when they call the wrong number and overhear a crime taking place.

In rereading this book for the first time since I was a teenager, I only vaguely remembered the plot of The Wrong Number, so it was like reading it for the first time again. Although I thoroughly enjoyed the story and had moments where I felt uneasy, I was disappointed in the fact that there weren't really that many twists and turns.

Additionally, it didn't age quite as well as some of the other books just because not many people have landlines anymore. Those who do still have them, have caller id now, so it's quite difficult to prank call someone now. In this day and age, people typically don't answer the phone if they don't know the number or if it's blocked. It's crazy that there used to be a time when we'd answer the phone without knowing who was on the other line!

All in all, The Wrong Number (Fear Street, #5) by R.L. Stine is an enjoyable young adult book, and my reread of this book was a great blast from the past. I give it four out of five stars.
