The Pineys: Book 5: Jersey Shore Piney
Trekking to the Jersey Shore has been a Piney right of passage for untold centuries and the Galloway cousins are no exception. But when people start disappearing in the quaint South Jersey town of Ocean Haven, the cousins must hunt down a creature that makes Lucy the Elephant look small! But to Hemingway, the boardwalk is all about reliving his romanticized version of his childhood. For Milton, it's an agonizing replay of a past relationship when he runs into an ex. While Lewis and Shelly begin to sense that their free vacation is a strange trap set by the quiet townsfolk. So grab your Mack and Manco's pizza, bring your Skee Ball tickets and watch out for insane cultists because in South Jersey sometimes the "deer" are boardwalk-sized!

The Galloway cousins have been invited to an all expenses paid weekend along Jersey Shore, during the off season, of course for capturing Hammingway's mother before she could do damage. At the word free Hemmingway is all in, intent on reliving all the best parts of his childhood in this very town. Yet the homeless population of the area are surprisingly absent and the town mayor has appointed Hemmingway, of all people, to lead the parade. What could go wrong?
I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. I have read the first 5 in this series, yet am still entertained by the antics of the Galloways. I don't want to give it away, but the creature featured in this book isn't our normal "deer". These hunters may be out-matched with something of this size.
All of our favorite cousins have returned in this book and things are slowly starting to get better between them. Hemmingway gets to relive his best (and worst) childhood memories, Milton runs into an ex, Lewis is using his past-telling abilities better, while Shelly is still in her relationship. Both Lewis and Shelly are leery of their free vacation, but Hemmingway won't hear anything of it.
Like I mentioned, this is book 5 in the series and it cannot be read as a stand-alone. You would be missing out on some serious back-story starting from this book. Still, all of the Piney books are exciting, fun, and funny. This book is no exception. We continue to character build and I look forward to more adventures with these cousins in the future.

A vacation with Hemingway - and waffles; An Octopus Not-Octopus named Larry Not-Named Larry. One of my favorites of the series so far.
And as Lewis knows, sometimes they really are out to get you.
