Monica G. (champsmom) - reviewed on 4/9/2011 + 239 more book reviews

After th crap of book 8, I refused to pay for another MJD book. Unfortunately I didn't count on borders going out of business and getting it for 70% off. I almost kicked myself for caving after the first 100 pages had Betsey reviewing past books (despite MJD providing a one page review in the begining) and whining like a self absorbed biotch. Despite her attempts to keep the new reader abreast of the storyline, this is not a standalone story and you really shouldn't start here in the series.

Luckily I stuck with it and was pleasantly surprised to find a good plot and crazy ending. After the crap from book 8 I figured MJD would either come with something great or fail completely. I've read many reviews of this book where people rant and rave and hate the ending thinking the series is over. I'm thinking it was a genius choice to get back the readers for the next 2 books of her contract.
My only regret is not holding out 3 more months for the next book to come out.
P.s
I'm sure she must have been aware of the previous books' bad reviews because she left a rather catty acknowledments page. She thanks not all of her readers but just those on her fan pages/mail. Also she quotes that ultimatly she writes for herself. Hm...
