About the Book

Beautiful and talented Haven Ellingsen is about to discover that evil doesn’t take a holiday. Haven Ellingsen has escaped the man who relentlessly hunted her in the Cascade Mountains. But when an old friend from her dangerous past shows up unexpectedly to warn her that Dade Colton is determined to re-capture her, Haven makes the only safe decision: to go into hiding once more. But where? Who can she trust? If only she could tell someone about her tragic secret. But Dade’s threat to kill anyone who helps her would put that person’s life in jeopardy, too.

Dr. Petter Eriksen saves lives every day at Mercy Hospital Emergency Department. Driven by guilt after the accidental death of his little sister, he can’t believe in a good God. But when a beautiful and mysterious young woman moves into the cabin on his uncle’s Christian Retreat, Petter wonders if her love and simple faith have the power to shatter the barrier he has erected around his heart? And can he save her from a madman? Sometimes you hide; sometimes you stand and fight.

My Two Cents

The second book of “The Hunted” series did not disappoint!

I was privileged and excited to receive an advance copy of “Haven’s Hope.” I love Dena Netherton’s writing style.

The first book, “Haven’s Flight” was so riveting from the Prologue that it drew me into the lives of the characters, and. left me wanting to know what’s next, and this book did not disappoint!

You will experience a wide array of emotions as the story takes numerous twists and turns: sadness, happiness, shock, expectation, anger, contentment, fear, peace, pain, relief, disgust, and admiration.

This is a wonderful middle book for this series! I couldn’t wait to get the final book! Even if you have not read the first book, this story will stand alone, but, you will want to read the entire series!

If you love Christian Romantic Suspense, you will love this book! WARNING: Once you start reading you will NOT want to put it down!

About the Author

Dena Netherton was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. Living in a musical family, She was blessed to study with great piano and voice teachers and given many opportunities to perform both in church settings and professional secular venues.

Although Dena wrestled with whether to study music or to study writing, her relatives counseled her to “live life first, then write about it.” Looking back, she’s glad she studied music, and taught and performed music first until all her three children were grown and out of the house. There’s nothing that compares with a life of loving a husband and children, pouring ones life into helping little hands and voices sing praises to their Heavenly Father, linking arms and “doing life together,” as her husband likes to say.

Now a retired teacher, she enjoys sitting in her office and imagining her literary characters–usually the musical ones– jumping up and down, doing pillow fights, while squealing, “Me! Write about me next!”

Recently, a new adventure has called Dena and her husband, Bruce, from the Colorado Rockies to the wet and misty forests along the San Juan Islands in Washington state. So don’t be surprised if some of the towns in her newer novels bear some resemblance to actual towns around Seattle.

Dena’s biggest prayer as a writer is that God speaks a word of comfort or encouragement to you through her words. And her goal is that her stories are compelling enough to keep you up all night.
