Author Biography

Angela van Liempt is a small-town girl with big dreams. Music inspires her, and she creates a playlist for every book she writes. The Atlas Cliffs series emerged from her curiosity with the paranormal, but along the way, she discovered a passion for weaving romance into her stories.

She lives on the east coast of Canada with her family and her beloved dog, Harley, otherwise known as ‘Pippy’ or ‘Harley-Quinn’. A lover of the ocean, full moons, and sunsets, she’d choose to be barefoot on a beach any day over big city life. Escaping into fictional coastal towns with characters who feel like real people is one of her favorite pastimes.

Seeking Haven: The Atlas Cliff Series Book 2 by Angela van Liempt features Drew Harlow, a young woman who can see the dead. Drew is still relatively new to it, but after events in the first book, she is used to ghosts now. However, she doesn't expect a strange reaper-like figure to appear in her room, telling her he is going to kill her. Drew knows that there is more to her gift and her family history that might explain who he is. In a bid to figure out the truth, she goes in search of answers before the strange reaper carries out his threat. Aided by a ghost, Ori, she returns to her hometown for help. Drew soon learns that she is more powerful than she thought but must learn how to use her gift properly if she is to survive.

Angela van Liempt has written an interesting story in Seeking Haven. I have not read Book 1, but there was enough information in this book to give me the background of her earlier adventures. I liked the character of Drew. She's dealing with a crazy gift but still wants to live her life at art school. The story moved at a good pace and while it may have been a little predictable in parts, it was well written. Drew is a strong character and I really like how this developed through the plot. The mystery kept me wondering and I wanted to find out why she was being haunted by the creepy reaper. Wandering Souls is definitely a page-turner. Fans of supernatural mysteries and young adult books would enjoy this series.
