The US' major cities have been bombed with dirty bombs on Rhoda's 21st birthday. Rhoda just happens to have been raised by a survivalist dad and immediately knows what to do. Her boyfriend Garth wants to wait and see what the government and/or Red Cross does. Eventually they do meet up again and are trying to stay away from all of the people gone bad or bad people that are now worse.
I have a feeling the author is a Reiki therapist because there are constant references to the miraculous healing powers of Reiki. My husband and sister have gone to a Reiki therapist and although the therapy ended up being better than massage it never came close to the healing powers described in the book. In fact, I would have rated this book higher because I found the constant references a little off-putting and felt the book would have been better without them.
There are strange mutations that happen that I liked and found added to the book. Would love to see how this pans out later.
Overall the book was really good and I would totally recommend it. I have heard the author is working on the next book and I can't wait.

Definitely a creative, unique look at post apocalyptic life...
I thought it was different to pair kind of a hippie up with a surivalist, but have the genders swapped from what would be typical...
I loved Bear! lol! Greatest ever! I want him!!!
I don't want to do any spoilers to give anything away...
I definitely felt like the character development was great, descriptive, etc...I love details about characters, and this book really did that well...
I stayed interested on every page.
The ending is...a cliffhanger...
I hope so bad that Ken follows up with a second...
I thoroughly enjoyed this book...

Considering this is my novel that I just released I must admit that I'm rather biased. One helluva good read!

Being from the South myself, I found Safehaven to be doubly enjoyable. I love science fiction and this book didn't let me down.
