It started as a day, just like any other. It ended in a tragedy no one could believe. An overwhelming enemy force. A surprise attack. Now, a darkness has fallen over the land, the likes of which has never been seen before. Most have fled. Only a handful remain. For some, this is the longest night they have ever lived. For others, there will be no dawn. Can Safe Haven survive? Or is this the end of everything?
I was born and raised in Leeds, West Yorkshire. Wanting to escape life in a big city and concentrate more on working to live than living to work, I moved to the Outer Hebrides in the north-west of Scotland in 2004 and I have lived there ever since with my wife and dogs.
I write post-apocalyptic, sci-fi, dystopian and horror fiction. I’ve released fifty one books across six different series - Safe Haven, The End of Everything, Unsafe, Relentless, The Burning Tree and Scares in Scotland.
In addition, most of my titles are now available as audiobooks narrated by Kim Bretton, so if you’re one of the many people who struggle to find the time to read, you can listen on the go.

Artinian has again given us a character driven, emotionally charged page turner that will keep you on the edge of your seat. Safe Haven is again under attack by a group of waste of skin fellow survivors. Unfortunately, this time there are heartbreaking loses that will bring you to tears. I love the twist at the end that will wipe away those tears and bring a smile to your face. Looking forward to the next awesome story in this series
Is This the End of Everything? (Safe Haven, Book 6) by Christopher Artinian and narrated by Kim Bretton is nail-bitingly fantastic! I highly, highly, highly recommend this series whether you are new to Christopher or have been following the series from the beginning. There’s a reason his books have such high ratings.
What’s this one about? As the title indicates- the end of everything...or is it? It’s hard to write a review without giving spoilers, so I will say heavy losses (you may or may not shed some tears), new evil, and it’s a keeps you on the edge of your seat type story. I enjoyed the new evil folks and Mike and Wren teaming up against them. This was a book I savored because I am afraid it really will be the end of the series (obviously it’s OK if it is as it’s a fabulous series, but at the same time I don’t want it to end).
The narrator, Kim Bretton, was brilliant yet again! Great characters, pace, and makes the books stand out.
Do yourself a favor and listen to this series- between the writing and narration, you won’t be disappointed.

This series continues to be my favorite in the Zompoc genre. Mr. Artinian has created a wonderful cast of characters that you feel like you know. So, when some of them are put in harm's way, you feel their loss deeply. "Loss can break the strongest souls." But, will the loss break the residents of Safe Haven?
Mike continues to be a total badass, getting his revenge when those he loves are threatened. "When anybody hurt his family, there would never be mercy." But some of the meeker characters also step up when their loved ones are hurt. "Bravery is doing something even though you are scared."
Every time I think that nothing else can happen to the residents of Safe Haven, Mr. Artinian adds another, more menacing element to an already horrible existence. The evil of humans is often worse than the horrors of the undead.
In the end, after all the tears, close calls, and plenty of action and gore, there is a happy ending! I was so very glad to finally get that issue resolved! I can't wait to continue this series, along with its companion series, "The End of Everything". Well done, Chris, well done!
Another awesome read. Full of plot twists, story's of love and friendship and just the right amount of gore. Loved this series, Mike is a true live wire with a heart of gold.
OMG seriously this author hook's you into his amazing stories!! The emotions he provokes is just crazy 🤪 laugh, cry, scream at your kindle whilst this never ending rollercoaster of a journey continues to take over your life. You can't turn the pages quick enough & by now you learn that you shouldn't be lulled into false securities ! Because when you turn the page the next epic ride begins and all hell breaks loose. I found the author after reading The burning tree series ITS ANOTHER INCREDIBLE SERIES ! I then moved onto read Safe Haven & The end of everything . Totally recommend anything by Christopher Artinian . These are screen worthy awesomeness.
Mr. Arminian delivers yet another hit! I love these characters and who needs an army when you have Wren and Mike! Throw in Barnes, Emma, Raj, Shaw, Lucy just to name a few then you have an unstoppable force. I was sad to see some of the characters leave the Safe Haven family. I highly recommend this author if you like a fast pace action filled story with great characters. If you have not read any of his works then what are you waiting for??? Also please leave reviews so we can keep our favorite authors writing these great stories. Last but not least thank you for using Kindle Unlimited.
Well I have binged this series and the end of everything series in the last week (that’s a lot of books) really enjoyed both series especially as they tie in. I think I love them so much because I live in the highlands of Scotland and it’s nice to have places I’ve heard of in a story. Hope he takes them to the north east and come over to wick/thurso/John o groats lol 🤣. The characters are so well written and have depth that makes them feel like real people. The stories are fast paced keep you interested and invested in what happens to them next. There’s humour, joy and sadness in every book. Loved them.
Excellent! I started this book and except for a break to sleep a few hours, I read it straight through. I love the Safe Haven series but I have to say that this was the best one of all. This author writes with a passion and it shows in the amazing characters he has created. There is so much heart in these books that I am moved to tears every time I read one. Mike will always be my favorite fictional hero! This book was so well written that I could easily imagine myself fighting right along side of these people. I recommend this book and this series to everyone!
Wow another fantastically written book from my all time favourite author. These books seems so effortlessly written, the characters are so relatable and easy to fall in love with. The story is full of twists and turns, action packed and full of humour and also sadness. Mike has got to be my all time favourite character he isn’t your typical hero but one we all wish we knew. Fantastic book and I guarantee you won’t be disappointed. Keep up the amazing work Chris and soo looking forward to the rest of your work.
The people of Safe Haven have survived zombies, vicious raiders, and disease, but a new enemy is approaching over the horizon. Each book becomes more convoluted and complex than the one before it. I am enjoying this series and I recommend it to others who enjoy fast-paced, never-ending action, and great characters in their stories. Kim Bretton's narration style hooks the listeners and doesn't let them go until the end. I was given a free copy of the audiobook and I have voluntarily left this review.
Once again, The Author Christopher Artinian twists the story after you think that it’s pretty much all over and the way he does it you would never guess, his imagination is just amazingly unbelievable !!! And once again Kim Bretton narration, accent and her different voices for each character completes another audio masterpiece !!!
I totally recommend those two series’s for all with out a doubt!!!
I was on the wedge of my seat , Not wanting to put this book down Safe Haven my favorite series , I am in love with Mike , Lucy, Emma I was so concerned about all my hero's all the citizens of Safe Haven, Not knowing what or whom was going to make it , with this new Evil , very twisted group of bad guys GREAT RIDE , I really enjoyed it Thank you Christopher Artinain for sharing such wonderful characters , stories
So another late night to finish this book, not quite 4am but it’s fairly close. Pirates, marauders. Religious fanatics. I know the zombie apocalypse wouldn’t be pretty and we’ve had the likes of Fry and Webb so this next lot weren’t surprising really but talk about vicious! Another great book - I’m keen for the next one! Read it - it’ll answer some questions.
Complacency causes the safe haven community to go on the defensive once again I love that the two series are coming together and can’t wait to see what happens Flawless narration in production from Kim as always Even if you’re not a fan of zombies the strong writing and fantastic characters will have you hooked Also be sure to read the end of everything series for the full experience I received a free review audiobook and voluntarily left this review
Such an amazing series. I love each of these characters in this word.... both series are soooo good. I love these sisters, I love Mike and everyone else too. This is definitely one of my favorite series ever and I can’t wait for each new book to come out. Kim Bretton is an incredible narrator and I love her voice.

An amazing, addictive book that skillfully combines two fantastic series flawlessly into one cohesive and explosive work of art! I was absorbed into the story from the beginning, finding it impossible to pause for anything, and what an emotional rollercoaster, I went from laughing out loud to crying like a baby at the loss of a loved character. What's next for the Safe Haven inhabitants after facing the latest evil, I can't wait to find out, especially if Kim Bretton is narrating.
This was so good! Another scenario in the apocalypse down. Thus author takes us through every what if moment and our favorite characters (most of them) are still standing. I guess some have to die but its always sad. I like how they manage to find humor with all they go through. This book was funny, sad and full of action. I can't wait to see what's next.
Wow, wow and wow again. thank you for a rollercoaster ride of adventure, pure evil (and that's not the Rams, they can't help it!), loss, love, laughter, bravery, dogs - all rolled into yet another sensational instalment of the legend that is safe haven. Never stop writing xxxx
I loved every book of this series it has everything you need in a zombie survival series great characters and back stories, how they all come together, humour,fear physical and emotional pain and the unconditional love of family and friends because family is not always by blood!
Safe Haven must face a horrible threat unlike any before. This may be the end of our little town. Action packed and great story telling. Narration is awesome, absolutely love all of the voices. Heart wrenching turns everywhere. I received a free copy of the audiobook and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.
21 books in the series, I'm on to #13..... I would suggest reading these in the order that the author recommends. Lots of great charachters and lots of action. Surprisingly, even with so many books and characters, it's pretty easy to track. However, I'm wondering where Melissa and the rest of her group is. Oh well, maybe in the next one.
It just gets better and better…Got to stop texting now…on to the next book
Recommending this book to all. It’s a little spicy yet the characters would have to be. After all they are in the never ending battle of the end of their world. Any age adult could become addicted to this series. I am 78 and enjoying every moment.
Oh wow I couldn't put it down. This series just gets better. I love that Mike gets revenge every time and boy is it justified. This series is a must read for zombie apocalypse readers.
Another brilliant read! The action takes off at once and it's pretty nail-biting in places, but ultimately a really satisfying read. There are laughs, tears and much love for these characters. Can't wait to see where the story goes from here. Well done Chris, another excellent book!
Another great series. Page turner and an end of my seat kind of book.I hope this is not the end. This series left me wanting more and more.Well written, and believable characters .
Having read all of the Safe Haven series I have to say that "Is this the End of Everything " is a masterpiece of apocalyptic proportions. Christopher Artinian you are fantastic, to create and share these stories with us is beyond words. THANK YOU!!!
This amazing book series continues. Great storylines and all set up nicely for the next book. Think with what's happening in the world today, we all need our own safe haven setup at home
The series which just keeps getting better and better. Another great and gripping book that keeps you hooked from the first page. So well written and thought out and can't wait for the next instalment. Thanks Chris
I had hoped that Wren would be reunited with her sister (I was never one to favor killing off major characters). I hope Christopher keeps writing this series, and doesn't get bored with it, because I'm certainly not bored reading it.
