Love this book. It is the first in the Havenwood Falls High series I've read. It meshes perfectly into the Havenwood Falls series. This one kept me guessing as far as what supernatural power was involved. Love that it was harder to figure out. I look forward to the sequel.

One of the things I enjoy most about the Havenwood Falls storylines is the great diversity of characters. People from all walks of life and creatures from all over the mythos.​ The Fall introduces a creature that I haven't seen in Havenwood Falls yet, and her best friend, who happens to be a witch.

Serena, our new creature, has no idea the paranormal world exists and that she is a very big part of it. Much of her family's past is shrouded in mystery, and her mother (who is understandably a bit of a crazy person) is unable to share the secrets and guide Serena. It falls to her aunts to take care of her, and they are up to something that Serena just doesn't understand yet.

As a person who has always found water to be very peaceful, I understood Serena's draw to it. But her draw is much more than mine, and it causes her peace and solitude, and also pain and guilt as she learns more about who she is and why the water calls to her.

This book was very much high school. The cliques, the friendship fights, the pranks, the getting in trouble, and learning the lessons of life. It rang very true (if a bit over the top) for what the high school experience is like. The Fall is one of my favorite editions to Havenwood Falls High so far (there are many I have yet to read though).

**Warning - this does have a bit of a cliff hanger ending - so be prepared.

Love this series. Great story. I did get confused at times with all of the different characters. But love the story flow. Since this is a novella I wish it wouldn’t have ended in a cliffhanger though. But overall great story.

I love everything about the Havenwood Falls universe. This newest novella does not disappoint. Another worthy addition. The characters were relatable and personable. It is a page turner you won’t want to put down. Loved it!
