Haiku reviews...

 

A Dark and Secret Magic by Wallis Kinney


Necromancer and 
Hedge witch. Can their love defeat
a common enemy?


Fantasy .... 311 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(I found the characters, the magic, and the nod to the myth of Persephone enchanting.)





Get Lost With You by Sophie Sullivan


Levi Bright is back.
Jilly has a second chance at love....
if she's brave enough to take it.


Romance .... 293 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(This is a quirky small town, single mom, brother's best friend, low angst, charming romance.)





Scorpio by Marko Kloos


Colonists from Earth
struggle to survive against
the monstrous Lankies.


Science fiction .... 274 pages .... 4/5 stars.
(I've always liked stories of space colonization and survival; and I'm looking forward to reading the sequel when it comes out in August.)



Happy Reading!

    1. I liked that one...though there was a moment near the end where I wasn't sure I was going to. Luckily, the author pulled it off.
