Haiku Reviews...


Blood of Eden by Tami Dane


Sloan's internship with
the F.B.I.:   A hunt for
the supernatural.


Paranormal Mystery .... 344 pages .... 2.5/5 stars.
(Had some fun moments that I really liked, but overall, this one could have been a lot better!)





Ghost Huntress: The Awakening by Marley Gibson


In her new town, something
strange is going on. Kendall's hearing
voices. Ghostly ones.


YA .... Paranormal ..... 338 pages .... (barely) 3/5 stars.
(A bit uneven in pacing and voice: I wanted this one to be better, too.)





Floats the Dark Shadow by Yves Fey


An artist helps chase down
a serial killer reincarnate
in La Belle Epoque Paris.


Literary Mystery .... 330 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(Loved the eerie atmosphere, the writing, the suspense, the two main characters, and the Paris setting!)

  2. 1 out of 3 isn’t too bad. I love your haiku reviews. I should do some. I have several books that need reviewed and am just not in the mood to sit and write them up.

    1. I've done them a couple of times when I'm feeling lazy and don't want to write a longer review. :D

  4. I love these, Lark! And I think I read that Ghost Huntress book several years ago and maybe the next one after it...don't remember much about it.

    1. Thanks, Kay. I think Ghost Huntress is one of those books that's fun at the time, but not very memorable. :)

  5. Floats the Dark Shadow sounds really good, and I like the cover. It's too bad about Blood of Eden.

    1. I really wanted to like Blood of Eden, and it started off well, but then it fell short in plotting and a few other areas as it went along. It did have some fun moments though. Floats the Dark Shadow was a much better read, although it was also a darker one.

  9. You are so skilled at the haiku review! I wish I had your talent. I use way too many words to get a point across.

    1. Some books lend themselves to a haiku-size summary better than others. :D
