Our city. Our secret. Our rules.
The Haven is a secret organisation - run by kids, for kids. But the police are on to them, and Ollie's friend Lily is locked up in an off-grid, high-security prison.
Ollie and the Haven's investigations team are forced to do they hide away and protect what they have? Or do they stay true to the Haven's mission, helping kids in trouble wherever - and whoever - they may be?
It's a decision that will threaten the Haven's very existence ...

Complete review available: Deadfall
Whilst I didn’t enjoy this as much as its prequel, it still proved a strong addition to the series. There is the usual edge-of-the-seat writing that Lelic is so good at, and the plot is strong, twisting and well-paced, too. However, there was quite a political focus to the story, which I found a little too overpowering (especially considering its target audience), and I had a few qualms about the deaf representation (which you can read more about at the link above).
