To start out, I am a big Stephanie Plum fan, although Janet seems to be running out of ideas for that series. I read Metro Girl soon after it came out. Let's just say that I'm glad I borrowed it from the library instead of buying it, because I couldn't hardly read it, it was so boring. I have re-read the Stephanie series numerous times and never get bored from it, but reading Metro Girl once was more than enough. I seriously don't even remember what it was about. I can't believe Janet has expanded the series. She has too much on her plate, no wonder Stephanie has grown stale.
