Haiku Reviews....



The Darkest Thread by Jen Blood


Jamie, her son, and their dogs
search for two missing sisters
in haunted Vermont woods.


Mystery .... 325 pages .... 3.5/5 stars.
(I'm hoping her next one is even better.)




Girls Save the World in This One by Ash Parsons


Three friends must fight
to survive when real zombies
invade ZombieCom!


YA Action/Adventure .... 425 pages .... 3.5/5 stars.
(Fun, but a little angsty at the start.)





Bent Heavens by Daniel Kraus


Was her father right?
Do aliens exist? Liv's
about to find out.


YA Science Fiction .... 291 pages .... 2.5/5 stars.
(Took a weird turn halfway through and the ending was really sad.)




The Vampire's Fake Fiancee by Kristen Painter


Sebastian and Tessa
are only pretending to be in love...
until they're not.


Supernatural Romance .... 347 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(Another cute one that totally made me smile.)



Happy Reading!

  2. All the books sound interesting! I wonder about Bent Heavens as I thought it has an interesting premise (boo on the sad ending, though).

  11. Not a fan of sad endings. I end up rating them lower because of how the book makes me feel. The Vampire's Fake Fiance sounds cute.

    1. Some sad endings work for me, but the one in Bent Heavens just left me feeling depressed. And the Vampire's Fake Fiancee was very cute; I liked both characters and their interactions throughout. :)
