What happens when you are on an island paradise and you never want to leave?
That’s what Aloe Malone discovers when she steps on the beautiful beaches of Blue Haven. At age 25, Aloe worked at a restaurant. She wins the lottery and decides on taking a chance.
There, she meets new friends, a retired couple, a former soldier and an opera singer. She enjoys the views and wonderful dining options. It is a place folks pay good money to go and they get treated to the comforts and care they would not get in the everyday would back home in the big city.
Then one day, Aloe finds a mysterious journal written by a woman who seems to have left it behind, and Aloe begins to notice unsettling things about the place she is staying as well as about the friends she spends time with. There is more to Blue Haven than what Aloe sees on the surface.
Blue Haven is a sci-fi thriller that is subtle in its approach with a mystery and tension that builds over time until Aloe must confront the truth about the place she is staying, as well as herself.
I gave the novel 4 out of 5 stars on Goodreads.
