Book Description

From missing socks to missing people, nothing could remain hidden from seventeen year-old Katelyn Kestrel for long, but after locating a forbidden passage out of her isolated country, Haven, she discovers for the first time that there are some things that should never be found.

Outside the safety of her homeland’s borders, Katelyn meets Rune, a young soldier who will die without her immediate aid. She never considered that helping him would lead to her capture. While being held prisoner by the handsome Lord Dylan Axton, she learns that the outside world is rife with war and controlled by people with extraordinary powers. It becomes clear that there was a very good reason the founders of Haven locked their people away from the rest of the world. The depth of her peril reaches a fever pitch when a ruthless Commander wants Katelyn dead. Her only hope is to return to Haven, but can she survive long enough to find her home?

HAVEN is an exciting young adult fantasy novel, set in a unique, rural steampunk world, by debut author A. R. Ivanovich.

About the Author

A. R. IVANOVICH enjoys being swallowed by forests, sleeping on lakes, and watching the sky. Writing is her foremost passion, followed by painting, horseback riding, and nachos, not necessarily in that order. A. R. regularly encourages those around her to follow their dreams no matter the obstacles, because, as she can attest, the rewards are more than worth the effort. She was raised in Hawaii, where she once again resides, with her fiancé and their extensive family of rescue pets.

4.0 out of 5 stars Looking forward to more A. R. Ivanovich August 10, 2011

I'm not a young adult... more like middle aged. "Haven" came up as a recommendation after reading a young adult title which was recommended by a friend. "Haven" had good reviews so, for a buck, I gave it a whirl. I'm very glad I did!

In her afterward, Ms. Ivanovich asked for reviews. I'm not well versed in critical review and have hesitated to leave comments (this is my first for a novel) but, in the interest of encouraging a new author, I'll try to give you the highlights of my reading experience:

I could picture the world Ivanovich built quite vividly - right down to form, color, and texture. That hasn't happened for me in a while. I cared about characters - I found their reactions genuine. Nice pacing and well written action sequences. Not only did I find myself anticipating each break in my schedule so I could return to Katelyn's adventure, I downright grinned when the ending indicated there would likely be a sequel.

What struck me about halfway through the novel was the fact I hadn't once muttered, "Oh, really?" "I don't think so!" or "Puhleeze!" I enjoy fantasy, urban fantasy and paranormal (among other genres) but often find myself chortling over plot holes and inconsistencies. Evidently the plot and writing here were strong enough for me to skim over any that might be present.

Why 4 stars instead of 5? Honestly, I'm not always sure what ratings mean to folks after having read some mediocre books with predominately 5 star reviews. Since this is my first rating of a novel, I gave some thought to the scale I'd use. Most of the books I read are popular fiction or general interest titles, not "great literature." With that in mind:

5 - Outstanding read. Enriched my world by being especially thought provoking, moving, useful, etc.
4 - Excellent read. Thoroughly enjoyable or worthwhile. If fiction, will probably snatch up the author's next book. Would read this title again.
3 - Solidly good read. Some quibbles on plot, characterization, writing style, usefulness, etc. but not enough to detract from overall enjoyment (or practical application, if non-fiction). Will look to this author again.
2 - Not particularly recommended. Writing, subject treatment, plot or character defects that seriously detracted from enjoyment or usefulness.
1 - Avoid this book. Fatal flaws.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't wait for more June 29, 2011
By Geek.
Format:Kindle Edition
I really enjoyed this book. It's a fun read. You can relate to the main character easily, and you're often wondering, "what would I do in that situation?" She's also a strong teenage girl - not a, "omg I love you because you're dead/a werewolf/hate me/punch dolphins/act emo" typical girl in young adult novels. The fantasy setting doesn't get in the way of the story or the character interactions. It would make a great miniseries, graphic novel, or movie someday. Can't wait for more from AR Ivanovich!

5.0 out of 5 stars First book in 10 years!! July 12, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase
I picked up this book about a week ago. I am not a book reader at all, this was recommended to me by a friend, so I thought why not. I have to be honest that the first couple chapters wasn't my style (did not realize the book is a Teen Genre). However, I am really glad i kept reading, the story becomes so addicting it's like a great tv show, I just couldn't put it down. For those who are like me and not into the Teen genre (everytime i see "Teen Genre" I think Twilight...), I just want to point out that This Book Is Better! Yes, it has elements of the whole, self dicovery things mixed in, but this book is more of an epic fantasy adventure than anything.

I Recommend everyone to check out this book, because the ending is fantastic! You can always just wait for the movie version, but you know the book is always better!
