Overview
False Haven is a young adult horror novel for fans of Anna Dressed in Blood by Kendare Blake, Asylum by Madeleine Roux, and Fiendish by Brenna Yovanoff. Seventeen-year-old Vivienne Barston's life has fallen apart. With her mother recently passed, her father disappears into his own grief - leaving Viv to deal with her sadness and anger alone. Viv turns to destructive behaviors like petty vandalism, but after a disturbing stint in a juvenile detention center frightens her, Viv agrees to a court mandated service opportunity designed to expunge her record. The deal: work for six weeks with a trail conservation crew in the rural woods of southern Oregon, and she'll be free with a clean slate. She knows it's her last chance to fix her life. When Viv arrives at the small town of Hard Luck, Oregon, she meets her motley crewmates, all with troubles of their own.

Reviews
"""Excellent read! Scary, suspenseful, and entertaining!"" ""This was everything that I was looking for from this type of book. It had everything that I was looking for in a horror element. The characters were what I was hoping for and were written perfectly and worked with the universe. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end and glad it worked with the story. Rebecca Rook has a great writing style and enjoyed how strong the story was."" ""... I went into it with no knowledge on what it was about. It was a spooky and creepy horror read. It kept my attention, so I got through it pretty fast. I would recommend this as a young adult horror for people who enjoy the genre."""
