Review: Quick, light mystery, definitely worth the .99

While the second in a series, this book stands alone just fine.Green Eyes was a quick, light mystery read. I didn't find it especially funny though and only laughed once near the end. I found myself comparing it to the Stephanie Plum series and there are a lot of similarities. Matching making mother, really unfortunate prospective grooms, a quirky grandmother, Stone, her sexy PI/security guy mentor (will they or won't they???). However, Tiffany, while inexperienced, isn't the fiasco as a PI as Stephanie is as a bounty hunter and grandma is a successful poker player,not a funeral junkie. Tiffany's Lula appears to be Ian, her neighbor, who while ineffectual like Lula and helps in the end, is quite different from Lula otherwise. There's also a potential love triangle between Tiffany, Stone and Green Eyes. And like The Plum series, the story line is a little light on the actual investigation.I have grown quite unhappy with The Plum series, so if Tiffany actually grows as a PI and the stories don't degenerate into exploding animals, chases, and an interminable love triangle I'll be happy to continue reading the series.I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for my honest review.
