The Great War of Haven
ended thirteen years ago but Alisa Dalcome is about to discover that the
war did not end for her. Placed on Earth as a sleeper agent for the
Majesty of Haven, Alisa had one objective—protect the portal keys at all
costs. In the wrong hands the magical keys could jeopardize the safety
of everyone on Haven. But Alisa’s relocation was more than just Majesty
business; it was also a chance for her to escape her enemies, enemies
that still wanted her dead. Alisa wasn’t thinking about herself when she
left Haven, she was thinking about her children Sam and Sarah. The
Great War had already taken her husband Rylan; she would be damned if
she would let it take her children too. But what Alisa didn’t count on
was her inquisitive son Sam and his friend Travis. Sam’s world has
turned upside down after discovering magic is real. After barely
escaping the caves Sam begins to piece together the past day’s events
when he stumbles onto his mother’s secret past. With the clues mounting,
Sam must dig deeper to uncover the truth that could change his life
forever.

But Sam doesn’t realize that his mother’s past has already
caught up with them. Hidden within the shadows nearby is Haven’s most
malevolent predator—the Viper. A hunter forged from the blackest of
magic, it watches, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Can Sam
uncover the truth in time or will his mother’s past collide with the
present placing them all in grave danger?

These two books (Book 1 and 2) grabbed my attention immediately. I love the titles – interesting and intriguing without revealing too much. Covers also are important to me. I realize that in many cases you cannot judge a book by its cover but the reality is, the cover is extremely important in creating a first impression. In this case, the covers did an excellent job of reaching that goal.

So once I reach step three – actually finding out what the stories are about – I knew I had to find out more. I have read so many stories where the lead character is living a normal life day to day only to find out they are something more – so much more. Sam and Sarah find out they are much more than your average humans. And to add in Witches, Vampires, Goblins, Orcs and Elves – how could I possibly resist this series.

Sam and Sarahs mom has to try and protect Haven – a sanctuary for magical beings; as well as her children. But that becomes more and more difficult as upheaval begins and Viper intends to destroy it all.

The books are not long but are so incredibly captivating. It is very difficult to put the stories down and move on with your day… I highly recommend this series.
