A review by momentsonpages
Blue Haven by Lisa King

dark emotional mysterious sad tense medium-paced

4.5

What if you could leave behind a terrible loss or a miserable life - a life without a bright future? What if you could leave it behind and start a new one in paradise?
This is the main question that came up when reading Lisa Kings Blue Haven. Five strangers are led into paradise after paying an enormous amount of money. What starts of as a thriller when the main character Aloe starts seeing a mysterious man and finds the journal of a former resident in Blue Haven, turns into a whole different genre, switching pace, while ending on another plot twist. I really enjoyed reading the novel since it touched upon so many different questions about humanity, psychology or future life. 
Another highlight for me was the combination of many different genres that made reading that much more entertaining. I liked the characters that King created, they seemed thoughtfully crafted and fit well into the story. 
I would definitely recommend the book to anyone enjoying thriller type books!
