INTO THE BLACK

Review of Lindsay J Pryor's HAVEN

11/3/2017

 

Following on (fast) from yesterday's shoutout for Lindsay J Pryor's Haven, here's my review to dispel all hesitation:


Rich in intrigue, and twists and turns, Haven is a dark, dark PNR/urban fantasy novel of the first class. The world building is superb, so too, the action scenes—the frustration, despair and violence, scarily bold and graphic on the page. 

Ember (heroine) steals the show. Here’s one woman who stands tall and brave in her own quiet way. Sure, she’ll appear to concede (when it suits her), but her intelligence always keeps her steps ahead of those who would do her, or those she cares about, harm. With Ember it's not her physical actions you have to watch, it’s her mind! Nate (hero) is a perfect foil for her, bringing to the fore as he does, her vulnerability. Nate’s not quite an anti-hero, but he’s pretty damn close, and umpteen times you will wonder how these two will ever arrive at the HEA they both deserve—big time. 

No comment on the plot because of spoilers, but in a word, DEVIOUS. 

So aside from the writing, the plot, the characters, what else raises Haven very much above the average? Well the politics, the social injustice, the raw indignation at how corruption triumphs—fact of life. But amid all that bleak there exists integrity and loyalty and love, keeping hope strong.

Recommended.

And thank you Lindsay for a fabulous read.

NEW PNR RELEASE - HAVEN

11/2/2017

 
Today, following in the footsteps of her fabulous Blackthorn series, Lindsay J Pryor brings her latest offering HAVEN. Still urban fantasy, still echoing the world of Blackthorn, but a new stand alone title introducing new characters. Haven hit my kindle last night, I can’t wait to crack open the pages—or whatever the equivalent is for an e-reader—in the meantime, here’s all you need to know about this eagerly awaited new release from Ms Prior, which promises to be as delicious as her earlier titles.

​HAVEN – A Lowtown Novel
 
A spin-off from the bestselling Blackthorn series by Lindsay J. Pryor, set in Lowtown, the neighbouring district to Blackthorn. The product of a brutal class system, the dark, gritty world of Lowtown will grip you and never let you go.
 
Every few days the handsome stranger comes into the café in Lowtown for an hour a time. Most of the time he keeps himself to himself - one drink and he leaves. Sometimes people meet with him but about what remains elusive, the edge of mystery and danger adding to his allure. 
 
Not that Ember is allowed to think about him. She's finally on the cusp of gaining her citizenship and escaping Lowtown for good, so she can't be seen to be involved with a vampire - evidence of one single bite would be the end of her prospects. But when those prospects are rocked by her links to the district's dark underbelly, the stranger she must avoid could be her absolution - and she could be his . . .
