Murder at the High School Reunion (Maya and Sandra Mystery, #5)  by Lee Hollis  opens with Maya and Sandra taking on a case of a former high school classmate and mean girl, Tawny,  right before their twenty-fifth high school reunion. When Maya and Sandra get stuck on their case, they enlist the help of another former high school classmate and friend turned actress, Alyssa. Soon after, they all attend the reunion, and Tawny is murdered after making a scene with her soon to be ex. When Alyssa becomes a suspect, Maya and Sandra must prove the innocence of their friend. I received an Advanced Readers Copy ARC of this book from NetGalley for free in exchange for my honest review. Being approved to read Murder at the High School Reunion (Maya and Sandra Mystery, #5) by Lee Hollis made my day, and I wasn't disappointed in the least. As soon as I started reading the book, it drew me in, and it felt like I was with an old friend, in the form of a story. I absolutely loved that the...

Book Review of Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich
Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich is the latest installment in the Stephanie Plum book series and opens with Joe Morelli asking Stephanie to dog sit his dog Bob while he is out of town testifying at a trial.  The typical chaos ensues when Stephanie has to bring Bob along to apprehend all of her FTAs and has her asking herself if she wants to be married.

Each book in this series typically follows the same formula and is wrapped up in a neat, tidy bow at the end.  It's because of this that I enjoy the series . . . I always know that Stephanie is going to get herself into some sort of trouble and need Ranger or Morelli to help her, and the bad guy is always caught.  Sometimes, I just need something familiar and predictable to read.  And, I don't mean that in a bad way either because it allows me to escape reality and gives me a few chuckles along the way.  It's like the comfort food of books for me.

The last few books I felt like someone had ghost written them, but this one seems more in line with the earlier stories in the series, so I didn't get that feeling with this edition.  Unlike the ending of the other installments, it also left readers with a bit of a cliffhanger . . . Stephanie has marriage proposals from Morelli and Ranger!  She had been engaged to Morelli earlier in the series and called it off, so I am intrigued if she will actually choose one of them and get married.  I really hope so.

One of my favorite characters is Bob, and I love the fact that he had a huge role in Dirty Thirty.  What can I say?  I'm an animal lover, and this dog is just ever so lovable.  I also really enjoyed Ranger in this storyline.

Five out of five stars is what I gave Dirty Thirty (Stephanie Plum, #30) by Janet Evanovich.  I'm kind of sad that I finished the story because I want more, and now, I have to wait another year or so for the next installment to come out.
