Hi Cara,
Today I am reviewing Sara Hollands new series Havenfall, Havenfall is published on the 3rd March 2020.
A safe haven between four realms. The girl sworn to protect it–at any cost.
Hidden deep in the mountains of Colorado lies the Inn at Havenfall, a sanctuary that connects ancient worlds–each with their own magic–together. For generations, the inn has protected all who seek refuge within its walls, and any who disrupt the peace can never return.
For Maddie Morrow, summers at the inn are more than a chance to experience this magic first-hand. Havenfall is an escape from reality, where her mother sits on death row accused of murdering Maddie’s brother. It’s where Maddie fell in love with handsome Fiorden soldier Brekken. And it’s where one day she hopes to inherit the role of Innkeeper from her beloved uncle.
But this summer, the impossible happens–a dead body is found, shattering everything the inn stands for. With Brekken missing, her uncle gravely injured, and a dangerous creature on the loose, Maddie suddenly finds herself responsible for the safety of everyone in Havenfall. She’ll do anything to uncover the truth, even if it means working together with an alluring new staffer Taya, who seems to know more than she’s letting on. As dark secrets are revealed about the inn itself, one thing becomes clear to Maddie–no one can be trusted, and no one is safe . . .
(Synopsis from Goodreads.com)
Havenfall introduces us to a magical world. Showing earth is connected to other worlds. All the worlds are so different and interesting.
I love the idea of a hotel that has doors to other worlds, and they use the hotel to arrange deals and peace agreements. I would want to work in a hotel like that, it would never be boring.
Maddie is the leading lady of Havenfall, she is a bit of a misfit due to her family situation. Once she gets to Havenfall you can see how comfortable and confident she is in the walls of Havenfall. But when taken out of her comfort zone you can see her age and lack of confidence. Which is completely understandable and made me relate to her even more.
There a mystery going on in Havenfall which drives the plot. I found it interesting and engaging. Certain aspects of the plot wasn’t a surprise but I was surprised by one thing.
In Havenfall there are two characters I would like to see more of Tanya and Brekken in the next book. Both are very promising characters.
If you like the idea of a hotel/ Inn that connected to different worlds than give the Innkeepers series by Ilona Andrews a read.
My rating for Havenfall is 4 out of 5.
Thank you to Netgalley and Bloomsbury for supplying me an e-book copy for a fair and honest review.
