Haiku Reviews....


The Devil's Bones (#3) by Jefferson Bass


How do bodies burn?
Bill's investigating when an
old enemy returns.


Mystery .... 309 pages .... 4/5 stars.





The Haunting of Henderson Close by Catherine Cavendish


Ghosts, time slips, ancient
evil loosed -- strange things are afoot
in this old Edinburgh close.


Supernatural/horror .... 229 pages .... 3/5 stars.





Things You Save in a Fire by Katherine Center 


Firefighting is her 
first and only love .... until
she meets the Rookie.


Contemporary romance .... 310 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(Even better than Center's Happiness for Beginners.)




The Werewolf Dates the Deputy by Kristen Painter


Jenna and Titus
must fight off a love spell and
a wraith--what a week!


Supernatural romance .... 325 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(The relationship between these two characters and their humorous exchanges totally made me smile!)




Happy Reading!

      Painter's whole Nocturne Falls series has been a lot of fun. :D

    Things You Save in a Fire is on my TBr. I am so glad you enjoyed it. The Werewolf Dates the Deputy sounds like a fun read. So many great books! I am glad you've been enjoying your reading.

    I always love your Haiku Reviews. The Haunting of Henderson Close sounded interesting until I saw it was horror. (shudders) Nope!

      Yeah, it's not super scary and horror-ific, but it does have its moments.

    Great Haiku reviews. I'm happy to see that the Katherine Center book got a high score. I've got that one on my list to read.

    Oh, I loved Things You Save in a Fire so much! The audio was fantastic, narrated by Therese Plummer one of my all-time fav performers. Much better than Happiness For Beginners! The romance was completely frustrating for me.

      :D It's cause I'm a little lazy when it comes to writing real reviews.

    I cannot go past a title like The Werewolf Dates the Deputy, and that lovely haiku!

      It's a fun book--a little romance, a little magic, some sword fighting. :)

    Center is great, isn't she? I've loved both of the books I've read by her.

    I've read several of the Jefferson Bass books, but at this point I'm so out of order on them all. I'm glad to see you enjoyed this one!

      I think this is a series where you can read the books out of order and not feel too lost. :)

    It's always amusing to me to read your haiku reviews. The werewolf dates the deputy sounds like fun, I might try that one.

    Have a lovely day.

    Making haikus for brief reviews is a neat idea- one I haven't seen before! I like 'em. I've been wanting to read Things You Save in a Fire myself... . .

      I hit a stretch at the end of August where nothing looked good and I didn't want to read anything, but things have returned to reading normal now, so that's a good thing. :) Hope you get your reading mojo back soon!

    I never read Happiness is for Beginners. That's the hiking one, right? If so, did you know her What You Wish For is related to it? I also enjoyed Things You Save in a Fire. How to Walk Away is still my favorite, though.

      I didn't know that What You Wish For is related to Happiness for Beginners. That makes me want to read it even more. And I'll have to look for How to Walk AWay. :D
