Haiku Reviews...


Another Little Piece by Kate Karyus Quinn


Missing for a year,
Anneliese, now found, knows she's really
someone else inside.


YA mystery with a supernatural twist .... 429 pages .... 4/5 stars.





Ten Kisses to Scandal by Vivienne Lorret


Briar's matchmaking 
schemes catch the attention of a
famed rake; love ensues.


Romance (set in 1825) .... 372 pages .... 3/5 stars.
(Lorret's nod to...and quotes from...Jane Austen's Emma throughout this book made it even more fun; it's my guilty pleasure of the month.)





The Black Widow (Gabriel Allon #16) by Daniel Silva


A doctor turned spy
must track down an Isis terrorist
known as Saladin.*

(*All under the watchful eye of Gabriel Allon--my favorite Israeli artist/assassin/spy.)

Action/Thriller .... 566 pages .... 4/5 stars.



Happy Reading!

    1. I liked that it wasn't predictable, or a plot I'd read several times before. And I liked Anna, the main narrator, a lot. :)

  4. Daniel Silva is one of those authors whose name I know but I've never read his books nor did I know they were spy novels. I went through a Le Carre phase many years ago but since then haven't read too many. :D

    1. I'm not a huge spy fan, but I really love Silva's main character Gabriel Allon, who's an assassin, but also an art restorer. I think The Confessor is my favorite because of the holocaust connection. But I've really enjoyed most of his books. :)

  9. Love your haiku reviews. Maybe I need to do some so I can catch up with my backlog of books to review! :) I'll have to check out the Lorret book. Every once in a while I really enjoy a fun romance.
