Welcome to Blue Haven, the world's most lucrative condo corporation--so exclusive that only five lucky residents live in this lush, tropical paradise, housed in a top-secret location.Among them is twenty-five-year-old Aloe Malone, an introvert and former waitress who traded bussing tables for lengthy sleep-ins, ocean dips, Michelin-star restaurants, spectacular sunsets, and unlikely new friends--all thanks to a spurious lottery win. Life's good. Damn good. That is, until Aloe discovers a journal. Seemingly left by a past resident named Eloise whose entries are both sad and evoking, Aloe quickly suspects there's more to Blue Haven than meets the eye. Her suspicions are confirmed when visions arise, gruesome hallucinations she can't understand, followed by a strange yet familiar man lurking in places he shouldn't. Something's wrong. Or maybe it's all in her head. Regardless, she vows to uncover the truth. Except someone wants to keep her quiet, and it's the last person she ever suspected. Blue Haven is a science-fiction thriller that explores what innovation can achieve--and destroy--despite the best intentions. King's imaginative world building and use of moral ambiguity make this page-turning novel a thought-provoking thrill that's impossible to put down.
Lisa King is a fiction author and researcher whose work has been published in numerous academic journals. She holds degrees in psychology and neuroscience from Western University. In her spare time, Lisa enjoys family outings, ample coffee, and unapologetic napping. She lives in London, Ontario with her husband and daughter. She is the author of one previous novel, Vanishing Hour.
"Scary and exhilarating, with more twists and turns than a game of Chutes & Ladders, Blue Haven is an ambitious and painstakingly written psychological thought-adventure about the pursuit of pleasure and escape from pain."-- "Booklife by Publishers Weekly" "A psychological thriller that's full of surprises."-- "Kirkus (starred review)" "As the action builds to a jaw-dropping reveal of the truth behind Blue Haven, King makes buy-in to her premise easy by dint of carefully thought-out characterizations and solid prose. This author's creative imagination yields a story that's both suspenseful and moving."-- "Publishers Weekly"
