Kay Hooper is a great writer of paranormal mysteries and suspense. I have to admit I havent read one of her books lately so i felt like a late comer to the party. Thanks to the authors addition of a character list in the back of the book I was better able to identify who was who although I still got a little confused at times. The story opens with a bang up prologue where a kidnapped victim had escaped her captor and was running for her life. The scene sets the tone of the book and for the most part lived up to my expectations. One bit of confusion stemmed from the fact that it was hard to tell exactly where the setting of the book was located. I thought they were still in the Northwest but apparently the town of Baron Hollow is in the southeast but I must have mused which state. I love a town that is described with spirits all over the place! I wasnt really crazy about sisters Emma and Jesse though. It just seemed awkward and not very realistic with Emma being so good and a responsible person while Jessie wash a maverick and they didnt seem to get along very well. The ending of the book was really strange and I was confused about it too. On the whole I really liked HAVEN and think it is a good read for the summer. I like the paranormal aspects of the story but I felt too unsettled and confused about things to give it 100 approval. . It does inspire me to read more of ms Hoopers books though! :
