Haven

The Breadwinner Trilogy, Book 2

By: Stevie Kopas

Narrated by: Scott Birney

Having barely escaped the clutches of the undead, the survivors of The Breadwinner are headed into the unknown to continue their search for solace in the post-apocalyptic landscape. Once a paradise for the living, the city of Haven is now crawling with flesh hungry creatures; yet it could be their only hope. Veronica, Samson and the others take a chance on the promises of Gary, a solitary survivor. Is the light-hearted newcomer all that he seems or are there sinister motives hidden behind his hospitality?

Can Michelle and Lulu, two ordinary women faced with extraordinary horrors and obstacles, make it to safety? Or will they each become just another undead face in the hordes roaming the streets of Haven?

When tragedy strikes, worlds collide, and the survivors must band together against their common enemy. But remember, who you were does not determine what you will become in the face of a catastrophe. The dead may no longer be their greatest threat.

Welcome home. Haven is hell.

Book 2

If you could sum up Haven in three words, what would they be?

This series is perfect for readers/listeners who are fans of zombie characters.! The author hits every horrific turn with this book She puts the survivors through HELL, exactly what they would be going through during a true apocalypse scenario! I can't wait for the third book to this series.

Great

Great story, Great author. It is absolutely worth the purchase and read. It has adventure, humor, drama, all that you want in a book. You wont be disappointed.

Mega cliffhanger

I've read this series three times now. Each time I get to pick up more character nuances and missed details. The story is great, and Kopas manages to, once again, write a character that I absolutely loathe. The books may be short, but quality most definitely overrides the quantity. Sure, Kopas could have written filler to appease those that like a longer read, but to be honest it would have been extraneous and unneeded. The book is the perfect length.

Full of Suspense and Horror

I received a free copy of the audiobook for an honest review.

I listened to The Breadwinner, the first book in this series, and was looking forward to listening to the next book, Haven. I wasn't disappointed.

The same characters are in the beginning of Haven. They had survived the apocalypse in The Breadwinner and are now on a boat not sure where they're headed until they reach Haven. They meet Gary and he seems to have the perfect set up so they decide to stay.

All of a sudden, Part 2 came along and there were brand new characters and it was the beginning of the apocalypse all over again. I didn't think I was going to like going back but for this story, it worked well.

I didn't care for Michelle or Lulu, the main characters in Part 2. Lulu was sweet, but a doormat. I knew Michelle was a bitch from the first time she opened her mouth. Once the apocalypse hit, she proved to have the skills to keep her and Lulu alive but she lacked social skills.

I haven't decided if I like the ending of Haven or not. I don't believe in spoilers so I'll just leave it at that.

I definitely recommend Haven and I'm looking forward to the third book in the trilogy. I have to find out how it ends!!

MORE! MORE! MORE!

Excellent book! Look forward to the next. This is a zombie apocalypse book that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Narrator does an amazing job. Every character has a voice which I personally enjoy listening to.

Haven or Hell?

Stevie Kopas has done it again. I really enjoyed this story from start to finish. Its filled with action, death, and survival. The story has it all and its a must read or listen to.

The narrator Scott Bimey did a great job. He kept me immersed in the story. I think I liked his accent of Gary the most. Overall, a perfect 5 star rating!

Three different stories that will become one

“Haven” starts with our survivors on a boat floating down the river.
Waking up from a hangover Sampson sees that they are near a fabulous resort. The Emerald City. From the top of one of the buildings there is a flash of light and a figure is waving to them. Minutes later a man runs across the beach and starts a jet ski. He heads toward them and when close enough he calls out.

Gary, a business man from England, was stranded when the virus hit. His wife died after being bitten and so did all the others who were hiding in his building. He has been living in the Emerald City resort condo units ever since. Using a jet ski he goes out on the river to met them. He invites Sampson, Veronica, Andrew, Clyde, Juliette and Ben to join him on the 24th floor. He has plenty of supplies and safe rooms for everyone. They accept. Is Gary what he seems to be or does he have other plans for his new friends?

Lulu and Michelle worked at the Emerald Park shopping mall as hairdressers. After barely escaping their apartment and being chased by zombies, they make it to Emerald Park and their work place. Lulu is very high strung and can’t seen to keep it together. She knows the zombies are attracted to sound but she just can’t help screaming when scared. Michelle, on the other hand, is just the opposite. She is the strong one and will not hesitated to shoot to kill. The more she kills the more she likes it.

They were joined by the mall security guard, Francis. Lulu liked him but Michelle has never cared for him. They are also joined by Desmond and Catherine. Desmond and his wife Catherine are both Doctors who were trapped by their car until Michelle arrived. The five survivors secured the shop and the two adjoining ones. Searched for supplies and settled in.

Three different stories that will become one. The characters are all developing into someone else. None of them are what they were before the virus hit. Lulu is scared out of her mind most of the time. Michelle is the leader of her group but everything is not well. Gary has taken charge of his band, but he does listen to the others. When they merge in to one there will be conflicts and murder. Some will rise to hero status and others will sink to the black depths.

Scott Bernie is the reader for this series and he does a bang up job of it. I just love his Gary voice. He really nails the English accent. All his voices for this series are well done and he can really get into it. Well done Scott.
