Safe Haven #8
Neverland: Part 2
They were sure a battle was coming. They just didn’t know how bad it would be.
A new dawn has risen on Safe Haven, and it’s the darkest they’ve ever seen.
In a heartbeat, the world they have fought so hard to build has been torn apart. Now, all that remains, is to see if it can be pieced back together.
For some, it’s too late. For the rest, there’s only one option. It’s a fight to the death. Kill or be killed.
Today, fate takes no prisoners. Today is the end of their new beginning. But is it the beginning of the end?

Oh my!
This book takes you on one he'll of a ride. Life, death and everything in between meets in a collision of epic proportions. Christopher Artinian is one of the best authors of the genre if not of modern literature. His characters feel real and his the world he has developed is a perfect mix of beauty and just plain ugliness. I recommend anything the man writes to everyone I talk to.

Safe Haven celebrates Christmas while still under the threat of an attack by Olsen and her army. they are happy and enjoying life. How things can change in a matter of minutes. This an awesome addition to a great series but prepare yourself while reading this emotionally charged, character driven tale as it is an emotional roller coaster ride of anger, tears....so many tears, disbelief and payback.

Neverland Pt 2 was absolutely amazing. I couldn't and didn't want to put down and there were moments when I had to take a breath. The characters reality becomes yours and you will be crying, laughing and wanting revenge with them. We may not be named in Mr Artinian's books but we are certainly involved in his stories. Definitely recommend this series.

November 3, 2021Wow
What an epic read! This is by far the best book of the series yet. Chris has a way of drawing you into a story and not letting you out until you’ve been on the verge of a heart attack, laughed cried and despaired. The characters are all so relatable and you get involved with each and every one of them and dread anything happening to them. This book is fantastic, fast paced, action packed and slightly brutal (you have some serious questions to answer Chris) this is definitely a must read and will leave you begging for more.

Will it be A Christmas
miracle ?
Christmas is coming , chapter after chapter as everything looks normal you can feel the tension climbing in the background, you know its coming the big twist which Christopher Artinian never misses a beat knowing exactly when to flip the calm into a storm.
I swear that with any other author by now after twenty books into both series’s which are truly only one couldn’t keep up with Chris’s imagination, he is truly the master when it comes to this genre and to putting it all on paper !
And as usual the beautiful voice of Kim Bretton like a song narrated it into a perfect package.
I’ve started writing this review after listening to the first two hours, now that I’m done listening to the whole book all i can say is a big big:
WOW.
Absolutely
Without a doubt,
This series is fully
Recommended !

Unputdownable page turning roller coaster
OMG I laughed so much but then in the authors usual fashionI turned the page and all hell broke lose. Hearts in your throat can't turn the pages quick enough trying to follow what's going on. Tears stream down your cheeks as the gut churning story further unfolds.
This author writes the most incredible stories that you just can't put down.
I found him through reading The burning tree series which is absolutely mindblowingly good. (So good I bought the audio books & they just took the series to a whole new level & a very magical listening experience) I then started reading Safe Haven & The end of everything. They're all full of absolutely amazing characters that you love or loathe hold on tight it's a never ending roller-coaster ride. Once I finish all the books I will get the audiobooks.

"Neverland, Part 2" was a mesmerizing book, and it was awesome. I thought that I could start to listen to the audiobook for a couple of chapters and then turn out the light. I was wrong. Once the story started, it grabbed me, and I had to listen to the end of the book. Christopher Artinian's ability as a wordsmith captured my imagination and caused me to go through a gamut of emotions. I recommend this book to others, with the caveat that there were some violent scenes described in the prose. Kim Bretton's narration was outstanding, and her oration always kept my attention. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.

OMG! The only thing I hate about this series is waiting in the next book!
Mike, Wren, Robin and Mia…. Oh and Wolf! I can’t get enough of these characters because they feel like my family! Why? Because the writing is that incredible…… and because Kim Bretton makes them come to life in the most epic way! Even when your heart gets broken by parts of this book you’ll be smiling and happy at other parts. So much going on at all times in this series and it just keeps getting better and better. Love every min of every story!

Fast paced sequel
Another heart breaking, funny grim book from Christopher Artinian. If you are planning on reading the books please start at the beginning. I have just read reviews by people who think they can pick up a book in the middle of a long ongoing battle for survival, and understand the characters and what they are going through...... do the whole journey! Safe Heaven and End of everything.

WTF?
It took me forever to try and finish the book. I love this series and have always loved everything that Mr. A has written so far, since he has not killed off major characters before!!! Anyway that’s just me, I believe you do not need to kill off major characters to make the story good. So get the books and leave your reviews.

Another cracking book
Christopher Artinian continues to astound me with these books. You care about the characters and their efforts to survive not only the Dead but humans too. I must admit I was angry and dismayed with what happens in this one to the point of bawling 😭. Can't wait for the next one in the series.

This one will make you cry and make you angry.
Great book. Without giving any spoilers, I cried with this one. I got mad at the author and mad at the “bad guys” in the story. I wanted a chance at revenge too. Great characters, great continuation of the story. Buckle up, this one is a bumpy ride.

Amazing
Yet again, I picked up this book and did not stop reading it. What an amazing book. I cried, I laughed, I felt it all. This journey with the entire series of books have me so incredibly hooked, that the impact of the story actually takes me so long to overcome. I won't leave any spoilers but wow.

I really loved this book, it was a fantastic insight into the tragic history of Alex, and his final days with his family as their world fell apart, and became a very different place. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves the Safe Haven series, Kim's narration was outstanding as always. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.

Tear Jerker
This part had me in my feelings. Safe Haven can't catch a break. Its one thing after another. We lost more valued citizens this time so I'm upset. Is this the end of a new beginning. I'm not sure but I'm all into this series. Its so good and I like not having to wait to read each book.

This author never fails to impress me with his amazing talent. Every story he tells is better than the last one. I don't want to get into specifics because I don't want to reveal any spoilers. Just have the tissues ready.

'Safe' Haven. Yeah, i don't think it is you know!
Wow. I didn't expect that to be so emotional. Such great characters that you can't help become attached to them and feel what they're feeling. Also a super exciting ending that has me desperate to read the next book.

An emotional whirlwind
They feel like family now that we've spent so long with these characters. Be ready to cry in the most emotional of the stories. Also expect lots of action like always.

This book was an emotional one! Read it in two working days/ so hard to put it down and now so eager for the next book! The challenges for the characters is nonstop. Loved the link to the prequel… looking forward to reading about their journey.

I mourned Mike's loss of Lucy, Jake, and Tabby as if they were my own. The struggles of this community mirrors the struggles mankind has always fought since they came out of caves. At least here they have hope.

awesome
This is just as thrilling as the previous stories. Full of action and suspense throughout the story. Mike looses people that were close to him and reverted to the killer he was in the previous story.
