REVIEW – NO SPOILERS

HAVEN is an equally gripping, high-velocity read, but this time, the spotlight shifts to Elise, a character who stood out in SKYJACK and now takes center stage with fierce emotional weight. The story world is a single location, a Hospital/Prison

Elise is in her mid-twenties, striking, and the only woman of color in the community. Tough yet terrified, she embodies the duality of survivor and captive. In SKYJACK, we learned she had won the favor of Maddy’s father and given him a son, a detail that becomes even more significant in this installment.

Early in the story, Elise is captured by the Raiders and taken to the Haven, once a hospital, now a high-security prison for women and an incubator for babies, as the Raiders attempt to repopulate the Earth. Labeled a HOST CANDIDATE, she is monitored, controlled, and watched by guards at every door, with constant video surveillance tracking her every move.

Her dream is simple: escape. Her reality is suffocating: the Haven is designed to break hope before it breaks bodies.

The worldbuilding is vivid and chilling, and the characters, both allies and enemies, are drawn with emotional precision. Elise’s fear, resilience, and determination make her a compelling anchor for the story, and the tension never lets up.
