genXcrone (she/her)Murder at Haven's Rock by Kelly Armstrong (Haven's Rock, Book 1; a spinoff from the Rockton series)
Rockton is gone, their corrupted mission is over. But people still need the kind of remote, off-the-grid, secure shelter in the Yukon Rockton was meant to provide. Its better replacement, Haven's Rock, is almost finished being built, and Casey, Eric, and Storm, their Newfoundland, have arrived, only to learn two workers are missing.
This is definitely a set-up book, and if you aren't familiar with the Rockton series you can dive right in because what you need to know is explained. The forest around Haven's Rock is already as much of a character as that around Rockton was, with new dangers and new inhabitants. It's a good introduction to Haven's Rock and I'm looking forward to future books in this series.
