Haiku Reviews...

 

Assassins Anonymous by Rob Hart


One year, no kills. Mark 
is making amends. Then a
killer comes after him.


Action/Thriller .... 306 pages .... 5/5 stars.
(Loved the main character and the dark humor. Can't wait to read the sequel.)





Wild Sign by Patricia Briggs


Sasquatch. Cthulhu.
Black Witches. A missing town.
And werewolves. Oh, my!


Urban fantasy .... 358 pages .... 5/5 stars.
(Anna and Charles head to the mountains in Northern California to investigate an ancient mystery; lots of magic and suspense. I loved it.)




Tell Me True by Carina Taylor


Can this marriage of
convenience take two roommates from
"just friends" to much, much more?


Sweet romance .... 316 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(Cute, clean and humorous. While I do not love the cover, I did love Miles's and Lucy's friendship, and their banter. Miles's family was pretty great, too.)



Happy Reading!

  1. Wild Sign does sound good! I had the first two books in mass market format but put them in the LFL unread because the font was so small it was giving me eye strain *cries* I think I'll try again on audio.

    1. I struggle with my eyes these days, too. It's not fun! But I'm near-sighted, so I can still do small print. for now anyway. ;D

  2. Great haikus! I love the Charles and Anna books -- I think I'll need to reread the last one or two before the next new one comes out. I've had Assassins Anonymous on my TBR for a while now. Glad to see you enjoyed it so much!

  5. I wouldn't have looked twice at Assassins Anonymous but I like your review of it. Patricia Briggs is an author I really need to read and I love the look of Tell Me True!

  6. Wild Signs would be the one for me, though Assassins Anonymous sounds like it could be a bit Grosse Point Blank, which I loved.

  7. Assassins Anonymous sounds like my kind of story! I'll check my library for an audio. I loved Wild Sign, but it's been a while since I've read it. We learned a lot about Bran's mate, Leah? I think I felt sympathy for her in this one. Something I didn't ever think was possible! Now I want to do another re-read! The next book is supposed to come out in November, and I couldn't be more excited!!! :)

    1. I've never liked Leah until this book...and it definitely made me feel more sympathy for her, and like her just a little bit. I'm excited for the next book! And I thought Assassins Anonymous was just so fun. It reminded me a little of the Orphan X books, except with a little more dark humor in it.

  13. Ohhhh, I like the sound of Wild Sign, is the Alpha and Omega series as good as Mercy Thompson? I haven't tried it.

    1. It's almost as good. I like her Mercy Thompson series best, but I've really been enjoying these books with Charles and Anna. :D

  21. More fun haikus. ( I really need to try to do some...)

    Assassins Anonymous appeals the most in this set, as I noted at your next post.
