Haiku Reviews...

 

Notorious by Allison Brennan


An old friend's murder
haunts Max; she comes home to hunt
down the truth at last.


Mystery ....326 pages ....4.5/5 stars.
(Intrepid crime reporter Max Revere is a new favorite character!)





Happy Singles Day by Ann Marie Walker


Who needs a man? Paige
is happy being single....until
she meets single dad Lucas.


Romantic Comedy .... 292 pages .... 3.5/5 stars.
(A cute, light-hearted romance...with puppies!)




Cut Off by Adrianne Finlay


When a reality
game show goes wrong, four teens try
to find their way home.


YA Adventure/Science Fiction .... 371 pages .... 3/5 stars.
(Liked the survival parts; didn't love the technological twist at the end.)



Happy Reading!

  1. Love your Haiku reviews. And they all sound good (well they would as we like the same books, LOL).

  2. Love your haiku reviews. Notorious sounds great. Allison Brennan's books keep popping up everywhere for me. I guess that's a sign that I need to read one of them. :D

    1. That's what happened with me! I kept seeing her books every where and felt like I needed to try one. And I'm really glad I did. :)

  3. Your Haiku reviews are so clever, I always admire how you can tell what the book is about in just a few words. Well done!

    Kind regards,

    1. Thanks, Bettina! It works better with some books than with others. But the haikus are fun to write.

  5. Ooh Notorious love that cover! And Cut Off has me curious. Another striking cover although not sure about the reality show aspect. Notorious looks like one I should add though... :)

  6. Your haiku reviews are always so well done! I'm loving the sound of Notorious too. I'll have to keep that one in mind the next time I'm in the mood for a good mystery.

    1. I checked out another one of Allison Brennan's books about Max Revere and am enjoying it as much as Notorious. I think I have a new series to read. :D

  7. What an innovative spin! I read a few haikus last month, and grew to really like them - and now I see some haiku reviews here. The premise for Cut Off looks interesting, though I see it didn't fare as well as Notorious.

    1. I've been doing my haiku reviews since June of 2018. They're fun to write, especially when you don't want to write a longer review. And it was the ending of Cut Off that made me drop it down to 3 stars.

  8. Notorious sounds like a great read! I'll have to keep this book in mind. As always, I enjoy reading your haiku reviews. :)

  10. Haiku reviews would be a wonderful meme. I often want to read reviews of books, but I don't want a lot of information. This size is perfect.

    1. They're easier to write than long reviews, too. :D

  11. Oooh, CUT OFF sounds good. I love survival books as much as you do! In fact, I just finished THE COLD VANISH on your recommendation. Fascinating!

    1. The Cold Vanish is such a good read! Who knew so many people disappeared like that every year?

  12. Love Haiku reviews! I'm thrilled you're starting Max Revere! She's kind of a witch with a "b" instead sometimes, lol, but she's got a good heart!:)

    1. She can definitely be abrasive at times, but I like her strong independence. :)

  13. So Notorious was the winner of these three. Good to know!
