Genre - Humour

Bodies are being mysteriously deposited at Vincent Plum Bail Bonds temporary location and Stephanie's been cursed by Morelli's Grandmother. Not an ordinary curse, mind you...it's a sex curse...leading to some humourous situations with Ranger. Add to the mix a vampire and a bear and you've got a pretty good read, although I must admit I haven't stayed up for hours reading these last few like I used to.

I'm not sure how much longer Evanovich can keep spinning out these stories but I truly love the characters.
