The Haven Reviews

This is a compelling, fast paced story full of exciting twists and turns that will keep you on the edge of your seat. I was totally absorbed in the world it graphically creates. * Primary Times *
A thrilling, page-turner of an adventure. * Parents in Touch *
It's London but not as you know it. The government has turned its back on society and adults are too busy looking after themselves to care for youth. So when Ollie Turner's guardian is violently attacked right before him, the orphan takes refuge deep in the sewers under the city. It's here he stumbles upon a secret headquarters who may just offer him the belonging and safety he needs. Run for kids by kids, the Haven protects youth, champions justice and accepts Ollie into its mysterious ranks. But nothing comes without a cost. Fans of rapid-pace novels packed with adventure, thrills, twists and turns will love Lelic's first foray into Young Adult fiction after success in the adult thriller genre. * CANVAS *
