"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
"Cook’s first YA novel reads like a blend of the Gemma Doyle trilogy, the Twilight saga, and Lois Duncan’s thrillers, and it will find a wide audience among female fans of gothic novels. With a brooding, almost hypnotic atmosphere, the story’s pace is relentless. Even though the reader often figures out the truth long before Violet does, these discoveries will not take away from the tale’s appeal. --Booklist
