EVERYONE’S DYING OVER
“Cook’s first YA novel reads like a blend of the Gemma Doyle trilogy, the Twilight saga, and Lois Duncan’s thrillers.” —
Booklist
“Seriously sexy. … Hand this one to fans of Gray’s similarly themed
Evernight
and to all the girls who have broken the bindings on their Twilight books.” —
BCCB
“With a fast-paced plot line, continuously unfolding drama, a bit of romantic anticipation, and a few well-timed twists,
Haven
is bound to be a favorite.” —
New York Journal of Books
“Moments between Violet and Aidan crackle with sexual longing. … A final sweeping fight scene provides needed resolutions while opening the door for a sequel.” —
Kirkus Reviews
THEIR LOVE WILL FACE GREAT ODDS….
Violet McKenna is back for her senior year at Winterhaven, and thrilled to be with Aidan after a long summer apart. But while their love for each other is as strong as ever, their troubles are far from over.
News of a rogue vampire on a killing spree sets everyone on edge. While Aidan is determined to stop the killer, Violet is chilled by a horrifying vision she simply must prevent … for if she can’t, two people she loves will meet a violent end.
In the midst of Violet’s fear, a mysterious newcomer enters her life—and he has some vital information not just about her past, but about her future as well. Now everything Violet held as truth is upended, and she is left not knowing whom to trust, if she is in danger, and—worst of all—whether she and Aidan are really meant to be together.

Not much has changed since then, except she’s added motherhood to the mix and enjoys penning her own novels as much as reading everybody else’s.
