Safe Haven

Before I read a book, I tend to read a few reviews on it first, this one was no exception. I noticed that more than a few people had said that they didn't like this novel becuase it was “too cliche”, I'm glad I didn't listen to them because I loved this novel.

I found myself connecting to the main character Katie more than I ever have done with any other book that I've read recently. I was practically screaming at the pages when I knew something bad was going to happen and I felt the suspense because I knew what was coming but Katie didn't.

I give this book 4 stars because I although I loved it, I felt that the mushy stuff at the beginning maybe went on for a little long, a few chapters shorter would have been better but other than that, I can't really complain about it.

I have to say this is probably my favourite Nicholas Sparks book I've ever read. I just really loved it! It kept me on the edge of my seat and I love the darker tone Mr.Sparks took with this book. To be honest, I can get really sick of Nicholas Sparks' books because they tend to be quite lovey-dovey, if you know what I mean. It was quite refreshing to read a darker novel by him and I hope he'll write more books with a darker tone. Overall, this book was great, a real thriller and a great love story. If you love Nicholas Sparks you HAVE to read this book!

I loved this book, really, I couldn't put it down. The characters were so real and the descriptive writing is so vivid I could feel the heat discribed in the scenes. As a survivor myself of domestic violence both mental and physical it took me back to a time I could not escape. Thankfully my life has changed now but I know others are still in this type of life. Thank you for writing such a beautiful story of love, survival, and hope. I don't want to give the ending away...but I loved the ending part, worth the read...don't skip to the end of the book..
