Disclaimer: I like the Net Force Series for the most part. I just wanted to get that out there because sometimes I'll read a book that probably isn't that great, but I'm already enamoured of the characters or series (aka Wheel of Time Series -- although there are some horrible books in this series that you have to keep plodding through). The Net Force Series are take 'em or leave 'em books. You don't have to read them all to read one so ...
Point of Impact was a good page turner. The Net Force Series always provides decent action and a fast read, and Point of Impact delivered both. Once again, if you read enough light fiction to get irritated by predictability, this one does a fairly decent job of keeping your interest.

Hot Stuff, Janet Evanovich & Leanna Banks: 3 Stars
The characters are heart-warmingly fun. The situations are hilarious and catastrophic. There is nothing believable about it, but the story pulls you in. Disclaimer: Janet Evanovich cracks me up so I may be a little biased here. This is not as good as one of the Stephanie Plum novels so it only rates 3 Stars, but it's a fun, energetic read nonetheless.
There's a good balance between strong, tough chick and girliness that gives the main character a nice charm so as not to turn everyone off by the "I'm so independent" front. I like that in a female lead. There is such a thing as too aggressive. Most of us women just aren't like that to date - although there's definitely a handful leading that pack. We like to think of ourselves as still a little soft around the edges.
The unusual circumstances that always pop up in an Evanovich novel as just as fun and endearing as ever. It's nice and refreshing to read something that draws you in enough so even though you know what's going to happen, you don't find yourself saying "Get me there already because I'm bored". I like all the little side shows.
Keep it up ladies! (and Janet - thanks for the new Plum novel coming out next month)
