Review: Lexi, an improved Stephanie Plum
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 13, 2013
As I've read all 3 books, one of the first things that come to mind is how similar this is to the Stephanie Plum books. The triangle with 2 men in her life, a crazy family, and her confidant/side kick. But what puts Lexi above Stephanie is how the writer has written her to be a strong female who doesn't to happen upon her luck. That said, I really enjoyed this book. Command Indecision plot is pretty intense and did have me guessing quite a long ways as to "who done it?" To top that, there are some fun and PG rated steamy scenes. What kept this from being 5 stars is that I'm afraid this will do a nose dive as the Stephanie Plum books did after the first 9-10 books. Given the writer had advanced some of the relationship tensions, I just hope that she will be able to weave both a great mystery with continuing to grow the characters. I hope she will avoid the pitfalls of Maddie & the High Heel Mysteries where the author writes a book about a pregnant lady solving crimes - really?!??
