I can't say enough good things about this book! There are some writers who play it safe when it comes to writing a series...they figure out what works and develop a formula which plays well for awhile but eventually the reader demands more, becomes bored and fades away. Shelly Fredman is NOT that kind of author!The Brandy Alexander series has been fresh and funny since day one and the characters have developed in every book - especially this one. In this book we really see Brandy grow...she becomes more thoughtful of herself, her friends and her choices. We see some changes in the Nick/Brandy relationship that were marvelous to read and will be wonderful to explore in the next book and we keep DiCarlo in the mix which I love since I still find myself torn between who Brandy should end up with. The same wonderful, wacky cast of supporting characters is back and as enjoyable as ever but they too are maturing. Fans of the series will love this book and for those who haven't started reading it I can only suggest you start with book one and ENJOY!One other thing...the mystery in this book revolves around a very difficult topic - dog fighting and I want to extend thanks and Kudos to Ms. Fredman for tackling this very difficult subject matter with extreme grace and for helping to educate the public about what an ongoing and horrific problem this is in our country. Way to go, Shelly Fredman!
