:) Another Ellery and Reed! I'm way behind on the Benedict Jacka series. :( I'm really interested in The Widow of Rose House--a ghost, humor, and a mystery--oh, yes.
ReplyDeleteThe Jacka series is the one series I'm actually caught up on. :D And The Widow of Rose House surprised me by how humorous and fun it was. I really loved it; in fact, Sam's my new favorite leading man.
DeleteLove this! I'm interested in The Widow of Rose House for sure. And I've read The Vanishing Season, own No Mercy and will look for All the Best Lies because I really liked the first book. Perfect reviews, Lark!
ReplyDeleteThank you! No Mercy and All the Best Lies are even better than The Vanishing Season...so enjoy. :)
DeleteYour haiku reviews are always so fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Susan! :)
DeleteYou have such a talent for these!
ReplyDeleteYou're so nice. Thank you. :)
DeleteLove your haiku reviews! I really need to try the Alex Verus series. :)
ReplyDeleteAfter the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs, it's my favorite urban fantasy series. :)
DeleteThat was fun. I haven't read any of those.
ReplyDeleteWell, I think they're all good reads. :)
DeleteHuh- these all sound intriguing! I do need to try some more urban fantasy series in 2020.
ReplyDeleteStart with Jacka's Alex Verus series! It's so good. I think the first book is Fated. :)
DeleteBased on the haikus, Widow of Rose House is the one for me!
ReplyDeleteI really liked that one! :D
DeleteAll the books sound good to me! And I need to read Joanna Schaffhausen's second and her latest release.
ReplyDeleteI think you'll really like both those books. :D
DeleteI'm glad to see you enjoyed The Widow of Rose House! I have been wanting to read it. I am curious about Schaffhausen's novels and want to give those a try as well.
ReplyDeleteI'm a fan of all of them! :D
DeleteSo much fun to read your reviews. I like the description for The Widow of Rose House!
ReplyDeleteThat one was my favorite, although I really liked all three.
DeleteAs always, these haiku reviews are delightful! The Widow of Rose Street sounds quite interesting.
ReplyDeleteI think you'd really like that one! :D
DeleteFrom your description, I was thinking the same thing. ;-)
DeleteI am on pins and needles for All the Best Lies and getting to know Reed better!
ReplyDeleteYes! That's what I loved about it, too. :)
DeleteThe Widow of Rose House sounds good and that's a perfect haiku!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Some are easier to write (and count out!) than others. :D
DeleteCan't wait to get to All the Best Lies, and yay for loving The Widow of Rose House! I thought it was fantastic, too! The romance was such fun, and it was all kinds of creepy! Plus, that cover!
ReplyDeleteIt was definitely a 5-star read for me. :D
DeleteHistorical Romance isn't my cup of tea, but I do love the cover of The Widow of Rose House! I would pick it up and read the back cover for sure if I saw it in a bookstore, so kudos to the designer!
ReplyDeleteIt is a great cover. (It's a great story inside, too.) :D
