Haiku Reviews...

 
The Audacity of Sara Grayson by Joani Elliott


Dying author wills
daughter to write her last book.
Can Sara do it?


Contemporary fiction .... 396 pages .... 5/5 stars.
(I loved this one -- the characters, the writing quotes at the top of each chapter, Sara's journey to find her own voice, and especially the heart and happy ending.)




The Runaway (Peter Ash #7) by Nick Petrie


She's pregnant & running 
from her husband. Trouble erupts
when Peter tries to help.


Action/Thriller .... 379 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(This is Helene's story more than Peter's; and it's darker and more unsettling than Petrie's other six books.)





Never Fall For Your Fiancée by Virginia Heath


Lies have a way of
becoming truth when two people
pretend to be in love.


Regency romance .... 356 pages .... 3.5/5 stars.
(Humorous and cute.)



Happy Reading!

  4. I read The Runaway last month. I really enjoyed it though you are right about it being darker. I do like the character of Peter Ash though. I imagine he's similar to Reacher, though I never read that series.

    And your haikus, a fun touch!

    1. Peter Ash has many similarities to Jack Reacher. They're both favorite characters of mine. And if you like this series, you'd probably enjoy the Jack Reacher series, too. Thanks for commenting! :) I'd comment back on your blog posts, but I hate Disqus.

  9. I can't help it...I always read these inside my head using that "ominous" movie trailer voice that we see (used to see) in movie theaters. LOL

    1. I just really enjoyed it. The characters are great, and the writing parts were interesting, and the family secrets added a little mystery. It's fun.

  16. Yes! More Haiku reviews. :) (Incidentally, I recently found out ther's something called "Haiga" as well i.e. haiku with calligraphy/ art.) The Runaway reminds me a lot of the movie Sleeping with the Enemy. But the Elliott book has a very unique premise, count me interested! ~Lex

  19. I love your haikus. I want to do some exercises of writing very very brief mini reviews ... if only for my personal use. Because I almost always write too much.
