I've missed several installments in Janet Evanovich's "Stephanie Plum" series but picked this up at the library for a little light reading. Entertaining as always and a few changes from the normal formula. Her car doesn't get blown up for a change and she has finally decided to learn how to use her gun and to buy some bullets for it; she shoots someone for the first time ever in the series. Stephanie has accepted two marriage proposals--from both Ranger and Morelli. What was she thinking?! Not only that, but she "celebrated" the engagements with each beau and now she thinks she might be pregnant. She'll keep you guessing until the end. This time, her FTA's include a mob boss and a man who thinks he is a vampire and appears to to have serially murdered several women. He is after Stephanie who is, apparently, still recovering from someone fire bombing her apartment. She has also picked up another admirer, an old school mate who now continually does nice things for her and ignores Stephanie's assertions that she is engaged so would he please desist. Lula is her usual sassy and over-the-top --literally--self, as is Grandma Mazur; characters are well developed and the plotting is fast-paced. An easy read for a tired mind.
