Why does it freak me out a bit that the life span of a tortoise is around 150 years? Every time I see one of those guys, I think to myself that he must be smarter than me. I wonder if, after so many years on this planet, he has some great insight into life. Why wouldn’t he? He has been around for over a hundred years. He has to have some sort of opinion. Some deep knowledge, right? If I moved around slower, would I live longer? I should spend more time on the couch.

Run to save your life — or stay and fight for what’s yours…
Isolated at her family’s wildlife refuge in northern Georgia, Raven longs to escape. Instead, she spends her days shoveling manure for bears and wolves — until her father contracts the deadly Hydra virus.
Desperate to help him, Raven journeys into town to get medicine, only to discover the outside world is collapsing into chaos. There are no police, no laws, and no hospitals. No one is coming to help.
The wildlife refuge she once resented now offers sanctuary — plenty of food, shelter, and the safety of electrified fences. Using the skills her father taught her, Raven knows how to survive.
But the threat is just beginning. The electrified fences may be failing. Even worse, a dangerous gang tracks Raven back to the refuge. And they’ll stop at nothing to take what she has…
Raven can run. Or she can stand her ground, risking everything to defend the animals — and her home.
No Safe Haven is a thrilling post-apocalyptic novel perfect for fans of Hunger Games, Wolf Road, and One Second After.
