Beyond Her Reach by Melinda Leigh
A gruesome murder.
Three possible suspects. Bree
and Matt track a killer.
Mystery .... 3-3 pages .... 4.5/5 stars.
(This is the tenth Sheriff Bree Taggert mystery, and it's as good as all the previous ones. I especially loved the energetic and enthusiastic dog, Turbo.)
Cold Storage by David Koepp
Aggressive fungus
escapes containment; the race
to stop it is on.
Horror.... 308 pages .... 3/5 stars.
(Good, but not as thrilling as I'd hoped.)
A Family Under the Christmas Tree by Terri Reed
Her matchmaking Gram.
A single guy and his nephew.
A cute puppy. And love.
Contemporary romance .... 336 pages .... 3.5/5 stars.
(Predictable and sweet holiday romance.)
Happy Reading!
Nice work here, Lark! Don't think I had thought about reading about a fungus lately, but one never knows - ha!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is a pretty creepy concept...fungus that'll eat you from the inside out.
DeleteGreat haikus!! Although fungus-horror absolutely creeps me out, so that's one I'll probably pass by!
ReplyDeleteI get that. It is very creepy.
DeleteAggressive fungus escapes containment-EW!! LOL. Sorry it wasn't quite as thrilling as you had hoped!
ReplyDeleteIt had all the elements, but the writing didn't really pull me in.
DeleteAll of these look fun but the Melinda Leigh is really calling my name. I've been wanting to read her books for ages.
ReplyDeleteI love Leigh's Bree Taggert series. She has a couple of other series I'd like to check out sometime.
DeleteGreat haiku reviews! Aggressive fungus sounds terrifying lol.
ReplyDeleteThe idea of it is pretty terrifying.
DeleteGreat reviews! Not quite sure any of these are for me, but maybe it's a good thing that 'Aggressive fungus escapes containment' wasn't all that thrilling?...
ReplyDeleteIt could have been a lot more tense throughout...only at the end did it get really scary.
DeleteI am attracted to the series by Melinda Leigh, also. The first one is available through Kindle Unlimited.
ReplyDeleteI love her Bree Taggert series! and would recommend her. She's a good writer.
DeleteDelightful post
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteI would read Beyond Her Reach just to meet the dog!
ReplyDeleteTurbo is awesome. And has quite the heroic moment.
DeleteI always enjoy these.
ReplyDelete:D Thank you, Mary.
DeleteI'd expect Cold Storage to be a bit more thrilling, too. I've enjoyed Melinda Leigh in the past! Great haiku reviews, Lark! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Rachel. :D
DeleteI always look forward to your haiku reviews, Lark! Melinda Leigh's series sounds amazing!
ReplyDeleteI think it's a series you would like.
DeleteWell done, applauds
ReplyDelete:D Thank you!
DeleteA Family Under the Christmas Tree has a cute puppy! Sign me up. I'm hoping to squeeze in some more holiday reads after today, which is my last day of work until the 5th. Love your reviews!
ReplyDeleteHappy reading! :D
DeleteI enjoy Melinda Leigh's books a lot, Lark, and I love hearing from others that do as well. I'm not a big horror fan, so will pass on the fungus book. 😁
