Haven Series Collection (books 1&2) Review and Giveaway

I love to read, but I hate to review books because I'm so afraid of spilling the beans. So, here's how we are going to do this: I'm going to tell you my thoughts and then I'll post a description of both books that comes straight from the author.

It's sometimes difficult for me to stay in the groove of reading, especially with well-known authors because I feel most of their books just repeat one another. So, I am a big fan of finding "not so well-known" authors to read from. This two book series had me absolutely captivated! During the first book I found myself on the edge of my seat as I ventured through the getting to know the characters and trying to figure out the plots that laid ahead. My initial assumptions were blown out of the water by the end of the book and that intrigued and thrilled me even more! I absolutely love a book that puts twist and turns in your path and makes you THINK you have it figured out. 

By the time I started reading book two, I was undeniably hooked on the series! I told myself going into the second book that there was no way the author could top the first one. Oh, how wrong I was! Now it's not unusual for me to get so engulfed in a book that I begin experiencing the emotions of one or more characters, but it's not often that I find an author who can pull me into their books for me to experience those emotions. Well, D.C. Akers certainly did a magnificent job! I was so engulfed with book two that I swear I felt every emotion that every character displayed! 

The below statements have come directly from the authors descriptions and are in no way my opinions or words:

Haven Series Collection (Books 1 & 2)
Known as a place of refuge, Haven is a sanctuary for those with supernatural abilities. Decades of peace between the Witches, Vampires, Goblins, Elves, and Orcs is coming to an end. Now the once tranquil world is shrouded in deception and corruption. Dark secrets tear at the very fabric of their alliance, giving way to an evil that stirs in the shadows. Exhilarating and utterly gripping, the HAVEN series is an action-packed journey full of suspense, magic, mystery, and intrigue.

A Stranger Magic (Book 1):
Sam Dalcome thinks he is so completely average that no one ever notices him. Until he discovers a mysterious stranger outside his home. Bewildered, he tries to uncover the stranger’s intentions. But Sam is sidetracked when he and his friend Travis discover a secret passageway deep in the town’s quarry that leads to a hidden cavern. What they uncover next will not only change their lives forever, but will uncover the first clue to a deadly Dalcome family secret. Sam finds himself drawn into a world of mystery and magic he never knew existed, which brings him closer to a destiny he never knew was possible. Get it today for FREE.

Revenge of the Viper (Book 2):
The Great War of Haven ended thirteen years ago but Alisa Dalcome is about to discover that the war did not end for her. Placed on Earth as a sleeper agent for the Majesty of Haven, Alisa had one objective—protect the portal keys at all costs. In the wrong hands the magical keys could jeopardize the safety of everyone on Haven. But Alisa’s relocation was more than just Majesty business; it was also a chance for her to escape her enemies, enemies that still wanted her dead. Alisa wasn’t thinking about herself when she left Haven, she was thinking about her children Sam and Sarah. The Great War had already taken her husband Rylan; she would be damned if she would let it take her children too. But what Alisa didn’t count on was her inquisitive son Sam and his friend Travis. Sam’s world has turned upside down after discovering magic is real. After barely escaping the caves Sam begins to piece together the past day’s events when he stumbles onto his mother’s secret past. With the clues mounting, Sam must dig deeper to uncover the truth that could change his life forever.
But Sam doesn’t realize that his mother’s past has already caught up with them. Hidden within the shadows nearby is Haven’s most malevolent predator—the Viper. A hunter forged from the blackest of magic, it watches, waiting for the perfect moment to strike. Can Sam uncover the truth in time or will his mother’s past collide with the present placing them all in grave danger?
