Editorial Review:

In this story, Stephanie Plum has bigger problems than the usual thugs, thieves and hoodlums - this time, there's someone in her apartment who just won't leave. We - and Stephanie - meet a character as mysterious as Ranger and as sexy as Morelli.

Amazon.com Review:
Christmas in bounty hunter Stephanie Plum's world isn't quite like Christmas in Whoville. With only four days to go before December 25, she doesn't have a decorated tree in her apartment or any presents bought. Plus she's chasing an elusive bail-jumper named Sandy Claws; a hunky guy named Diesel is literally popping in and out of her apartment; and a mob of manic elves is threatening to assault her with cookies. The end result is that Stephanie is feeling a tad stressed over the holiday season. Life isn't any calmer over at her parents' home in the Burg, where Grandma Mazur is dating a new octogenarian stud muffin; sister Valerie is wailing over some unwelcome news; and Stephanie's mother is coping by belting back tumblers of Red Roses in the kitchen. Just where is the elusive Mr. Claws hiding, and why? What's causing the power blackouts all over Trenton? And what about the mysterious villain, Mr. Ring? Is all of this real, or is Stephanie just having a very bad dream?

Janet Evanovich's mysteries are eagerly awaited by fans everywhere and this holiday installment won't disappoint. With a returning cast of entertaining, quirky characters and a rock-solid setting in New Jersey wrapped around an intriguing mystery, Evanovich delivers yet another hilarious adventure featuring irrepressible bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. --Lois Faye Dyer

- Love Stephanie Plum. . . but did NOT like this book
I love the Stephanie Plum series and I'm feel very disloyal to give this book only 2 stars but it really sucked!!!! I have read the numbered books 1-8 before getting to this one. I love the numbered books but not this one. I feel like it's a necessary evil. The storyline is B-A-D but some big things happen in Stephanie's family that you need to know before you get to #9. There is no Ranger, Connie or Vinnie. They are all mentioned but not interacting with Stephanie. Connie is alluded to but ... Read More

- Picking the petals from Plum
Visions Of Sugar Plums was a disappointment. With all the supernatural and comic book characters now appearing in books and movies Evanovich tried to join in with her characteristic protagonist, Stephanie Plum. The usual plot lines of an FTA, the ruined car, and Plum herself with her disorganization meets a new man with abnormal abilities. Plum runs through her erotic arousal theme, her boy friend appears briefly, locks click, lightning flares, family meals occur and everything works out at the meal, ... Read More

- Not worth it
I love the numbered Stephanie Plum books and was eager to read this one (like many others out there). What a huge disappointment! I started to read this book and simply gave up after a couple chapters, which is something I rarely do. It's very boring and the plot is simply terrible. I highly recommend the number series and would caution you against this fiasco. I simply couldn't believe it was by the same author.
