A review by liedora
Haven by Stevie Kopas
4.0
Sometimes with a trilogy the storyline can lose its pace and way when the second instalment comes out, but I’m glad to say this book did not fall victim to that issue. As with its predecessor this is not a long read by any means, coming in at 169 pages, but what this Author manages to pack into those pages just has to be read to be believed.
Not only are the characters from the first book included in this one, the Author introduces a new and interesting second set of characters. When writing the ‘leader’ of this second group, the Author has created the perfect antagonist who is a direct contrast to the lead the reader came to know in book one; together these two make a well-rounded team that, it seems, will be able to take on and triumph over anything that stands in their way. However reading about this new character will have the reader wondering whether they would rather face off against her or the other things that lurk within the books pages, at times I felt I would rather take my chances with them than her. Once again, all the characters are well written and very believable, and the reader will become connected to them; whether it is through love or hate they will connect.
Filled with shocking twists in the tale, and the ability given to the reader to follow one woman’s descent into madness, this book is definitely not for the faint of heart; combine this with the fast pace and high levels of action, this is a book that will keep you hooked to the very end.
If all zombie novels were as well written as this trilogy is turning out to be, I could well become a lover of the genre; as it is I would highly recommend this book to lovers of zombie fiction and also horror stories. I am looking forward to reading the final episode of this trilogy.
