Haiku reviews...

 

A Dark Lure by Loreth Anne White


Twelve years ago he
took her. Then hunted her. She survived.
Now he's back to finish the game.


Psychological thriller .... 408 pages .... 5/5 stars.
(Dark, compelling & suspenseful, with likable characters and amazing writing.)




Elementary Romantic Calculus by Susannah Nix


Teaching math at Bowman
isn't Mia's dream, but Texas
goat farmer Josh just might be.


Contemporary romance .... 316 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(So fun! This one made me smile.)




Tell Me by Anne Frasier


A hiker's death goes 
viral. Three more are missing.
Murder? Or a hoax?


Psychological thriller .... 266 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(Excellent sequel to Find Me. Detective Daniel Ellis and Reni Fisher, daughter of the Inland Empire serial killer, are two favorite characters.)



Happy Reading!

  1. I've read and enjoyed A Dark Lure and quite a few others by Loreth Anne White. I think my favorite was In Barren Ground, but they have all been good and suspenseful.

  5. All of these sound great! Elementary Romantic Calculus has my interest piqued with your mention of a goat farmer. I have a few goats and they're so much fun. :)

  11. She'd better grab that Texas goat farmer...aren't a whole lot of those in this state that I've run into, much less a presentable one. LOL

  15. Your haiku for Elementary Romantic Calculus made me laugh — the first thing I thought? When is math ever anyone’s dream? (Unless you’re a math teacher of course!

  19. I love your Haiku reviews. I cannot even shorten my reviews (which is a goal) and you can condense them into several.

    I think the book by Loreth Anne White would be too tense for me, but I have another book by her on my TBR and I plan to read it. (In the Dark)
