It wasn't a very east to follow plot. A lot of jumps and just not as good as the other books in the series. And Tinkerbelle's reactions to medicine is a little extreme.

I enjoy the Jumper series. The book Griffin's story has nothing to do with the rest of the books "Jumper","Jumper Reflex", "Impulse", and this volume.

This book is Ok just not as good as the first three volumes. Sorry to say I think the author has jumped the shark with this series.

In the past three weeks I have read all the Stephanie Plum books. At the end of each one I eagerly grabbed the next. Not so with the sixth (which is a good thing, I guess, since the seventh won't be out for quite a while).  It is funny and the characters and some of the scenes are memorable, but it  just doesn't have the fire that the previous books did. One problem is that  the three main characters seem so watered down. Morelli and Ranger have  lost the element of sexy surprise they had in the previous books.  Stephanie's reactions to the crazy and dangerous things that happen through  the story are oddly subdued. However, you will probably get a big kick out  of the book. I read it in an evening and will certainly read the next when  it comes out. It just isn't as good as the others, which I thought were  great fun.

Not as good as the other books in the series. I hope the writer is not running out of steam.

I enjoyed the first three books, thought they were a lot of fun.  This one wasn't so fun.  I also found it odd that there were so many grammatical and spelling mistakes in such a short book.  It isn't that other authors are mistake free, it is that there were so many of them in such a short book to the point of distraction.

The first three books played to the strengths of Athena's perspective, while this book the writer tries to expand, quite unsuccessfully, into telling the story from other perspectives.  Our prodigy of an engineer is more along for the ride than anything else.  I sincerely hope this is staging for future stories as I really enjoyed the other books in this series.

Couldn't get into this one. I didn't enjoy it as much as the others in the series. The hero in this book also did far too much head lowering. To me it makes him a little weak and like all the others, is rather annoying.

It has a couple of funny spots, although not as entertaining as previous books. Also as noted by the kids, does not cover a very large time span.  They have been fans for the whole series and were somewhat disappointed with this book. Maybe should have checked it out at the library instead of purchasing.

This was the last book I read in the series - I know, I read them out of order. This was my least favorite and here is why:

I enjoyed the story lines, but each of the books in this series are pretty much the same book, just slightly different. If you're going to read them all, then you should read other books in between so it doesn't annoy you.

My problem with this book is that the heroine, Hannah, had no spine. She was a little too clingy and I was embarrassed for her. And I thought Max, the hero, was a jerk most of the time. I would have given him a permanent kiss off early in the book.

So while the other books would get 4-5 stars, this one was sadly lacking. My favorite was The Accidental Rock Star, followed by The Accidental TV Star.

I didn't enjoy it nearly as much as the previous books in the series.

I have been reading and enjoying this series since the beginning but this one was not one of my favorites.  I found the mystery to be pretty weak in this one.  I really enjoyed how Jill and Greg's relationship was growing in the last book and she stopped keeping so many secrets but she is back to her old ways in this one.  Once again she is lying to Greg about her sleuthing and puts herself in danger.  It was obvious who the killer was but she still confronts the killer with no backup.  The previous book in this series was published in June 2015 and this book read like it was hastily written. There were areas that would have benefited with better editing.  I would prefer to have a longer wait between books with a better book.  This series should be read in order as previous mysteries are mentioned in this one.  Sometimes more than once.  Read this one to keep up with the series.

I received a copy of the book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review

Not as gripping as the other books. I felt it was just squeezing as much as possible from the series. The book was too drawn out and I found myself skipping sections just to move on with the plot

I originally read this when it first came out, then re-read the series when I got the new book (The Crystal City) for Christmas.  This one was not as good as the other books in this series.
The story started off very slow, with a lot of nonsense about Arthur Staurt and Audobon (who could have been left out of the book completely) and birds.  While this was explained somwhat at the end of the book, it was still too much and too slow.  The book does get better near the end, but by that time, there has been too much junk preceeding it to make it seem worthwhile.  The dialogue between Denmark and Gullah Joe is particularly boring and painful to read.
I give this book three stars only because of the characters, which are still great, and the ongoing story of Alvin's quest to build the Crystal City, but it wasn't a great story on its own.  If you've read the other books in the series, this one is worth reading just to continue the story, but just barely.  I hope the next book can return to the great stories from the previous books, if not, then I hope it will at least be the last in this series.

The Stephanie Plum series used to be so much fun to read, but it has been going downhill for quie some time now.  I really haven't enjoyed the last four or five books at all.  This book is a marginally better read then the previous ones, but it still is tough to get through at times.  The book begins with Stephanie getting off a plane in New Jersey, on her way back from a disastrous vacation in Hawaii.  She finds a strange envelope in her bag with a picture of a man on it.  Stephanie doesn't know how she got the picture and she throws it away, and then the mayhem starts.  All of a sudden she's got a whole bunch of people after her with guns, knives and other paraphanalia.  We have the usual with these books.  Cars being stolen, skips getting away and buildings and trailers blowing up.  I really don't know why I keep reading these books, but at least I don't buy them.  I borrow them from the library, so nothing is really lost, just a bit of time.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the others.  It seemed like it wasn't wrote as well.  Ms. Harris appeared to want to get to the end of it in a hurry.  The new characters that are introduced in this one aren't described well and the familiar characters don't form any kind of true bond with them.  The newer characters (were-panthers) that were wrote about last book aren't developed anymore in detail either even though it's were-animals getting shot.  I think the idea of the book was a good one but it was almost like Ms. Harris treated this as a middle book that she had a lot to get accomplished in and was going to do it in a very little amount of pages.  Just too rushed.  You have to read it though if you are a fan of the series because some things get said that I think you may want to know for the next book.  I'll probably continue reading but if this is the way she is going to continue with writing the series then I may not read many more of her books.

I love this series, but this book could use a good editor to bring the characters back in line with their established personalities, to remove redundant conversations and details, and pick up the action.  Stacey is ridiculous as the sidekick this time around when she has clearly been more professional and proven herself in previous books.  Sometimes Ellie speaks to her like it's her first ghost hunt.  Their usual banter is just off.  Ellie spends too much time explaining and reexplaining what's going on and what needs to be done as if the readers are stupid and the story drags because of this.  That said, the actual story and ghosts are very good and the creep factor was higher than in previous books.  I will continue to read this series, but I do hope we can go back to the ghosts of Savannah and deal with issues left out of this book like Clay.

I didn't like this book as much as the other two, it was good but the others two are better.

I am a huuuuuge fan of Charlaine Harris and the Sookie Stackhouse series. I was excitedly anticipating the release of book 10 - Dead in the Family. Unfortunately, this book was a bit of a let-down compared to the last 9 of the series.

This book is less intricate with the details of the characters and their lives. The dramatic points in the story are much too quickly resolved, leaving the reader with a very anticlimactic aftertaste. There are several missteps in the storylines of the past books, not to mention several typos.

This book just seemed to be missing the charismatic spark and excitement that Charlaine Harris so geniusly entwines into her writing. I'm not sure what happened with this book apart from the last 9 AMAZING books of the series. Perhaps the erupting popularity of HBO's True Blood has the writer pressed by deadlines, fans, what-have-you.

At any rate, the book is still a great read. The follow-up of the building relationship between Eric and Sookie satisfies the cliffhanger from book 9, as well as the relationships between Sookie and some of her family members. It was a good book, just not what I expected.
