My thoughts on Haven’s Fire:

First, this is the third book in a series.  It can be read alone, but definitely makes more sense when you read it in the series order.  I did receive ebooks of all three books to read.  They’re a great series and I loved reading the first two to give me more depth to the characters and background that is skimmed over in the third book.

I have not had any personal encounters with cults, but I have read several books that include cults or fanatic groups within them.  That being said I think this book really delved into the inner workings of not only the leader’s mind but also how people become involved.  We always say ” oh I’d never fall for that” but how do you really know unless you’re placed in that situation?  You don’t.

Reading this book gave me lots to think about.  I attend a non-denominational Christian church.  But I am a skirt wearing woman, not because I feel the Bible or religion says I have to but because it makes me feel feminine.  I do often get stared at and asked if I’m xyz religion especially when they see me out and about with my 11 children!

I recommend Haven’s Fire and the entire series to everyone to read.  There is lots of great suspense and even a hint of mystery.  I loved the depth we got to know the characters and how their eyes were opened.  It’s also “funny” how they don’t see that their two people are one and the same because Haven is out of the situation while Thea is within the throws.

Thea is misguided and gets the cruelest wakeup call imaginable.  She also has her doubts about Father Michael and his group but they are forced out of her mind with her immense need to please this man.  This, of course, stems from her father letting her down in the worst way.  And the fact that her scars don’t matter to Father Michael.  They don’t matter to Jesse either but she’s not ready to hear about this forgiveness he’s learning about.  Oh and add in the suitcase of money and it’s just a great plot going on!

I have voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from Celebrate Lit. All views expressed are only my honest opinion.  I was not required to write a positive review nor was I compensated in any other way.  All opinions expressed are my own.  I am disclosing this in accordance with the FTC regulations.

More from Dena

Haven’s Fire is the third and final installment of the suspense trilogy, Hunting Haven.

In the first book, Haven’s Flight, I introduced Jesse, a teenaged boy, living with the delusional Dade Colton and his common-law wife, Mama. He’s a sweet and handsome young man, but just like Haven, he’s a victim of the two abusive adults who keep him imprisoned in a remote mountain cabin, far from the influence of church or friends or schools. He puts his life on the line to help Haven escape from Dade, and as I was writing the book, I fell in love with his courageous, unselfish character. So I vowed that I would give him a bigger role in the third book. (He’s still secondary in book two, Haven’s Hope.) And since Jesse wasn’t destined to be Haven’s love, I knew I had to find a girl for him, someone worthy of him, but someone who was dealing with her own dark past.

In Haven’s Fire, we get to see Jesse, now a student living in Seattle, struggle to forgive Dade and Mama for the abuse they dealt out, and to help his girl, Thea, escape the dangerous leader of a cult who is bent on controlling and abusing her. In this suspense-filled book, it will take all of Jesse’s new-found faith, his prayers, and the support of Haven and her friends to rescue Thea from walking blindly into a world of intrigue, deception, and even, murder!
