**This review shared with you by my mom. :-))**

A novel of secrets, twists and hidden truths, The Haven, latest title in the Stoney Ridge Seasons series is an enjoyable and likeable read with characters that grabbed my attention as a reader.

The plots twists definitely kept me on my toes, never quite knowing what to expect with each new chapter. The nice thing though is that none of the twists felt irrational or against the grain of actually happening.

Moments of humor had me laughing at some funny bit of dialogue or character reactions. Being able to enjoy a warm laugh, helped balance out the moments of seriousness in the plot.

While the plot was engaging, the story wasnt really one that thoroughly captivated me. Yes, the characters were likeable, the story one that would make me wonder how everything would be resolved, but its a gentle read, one that doesnt greatly inspire a strong pull of attention.

However, I will say that as the second book in the series, returning to a familiar setting and characters, it was great to return to their story. The ending leaves just enough room for another book and Id like to bring closure full circle to a warm cast.

This review is my moms honest opinion. Thanks to the publishers for her copy to review.

**Available September 2012 from Revell, a division of Baker Publishers**
