His experiences ensured that he's more tough and capable than your average fifteen-year-old. Unfortunately, Mickey's dad died and his mother is in rehab, leaving him to move in with Myron, his estranged uncle. Myron, who lives near the mysterious Bat Lady. Of course, even trying to discover the Bat Lady's secrets can't hold Myron's attention when his girlfriend Ashley is missing.<br /><br />I devoured SHELTER extremely quickly. It's an effectively paced thriller, moving from one scene to another without much pause. There were a few things I didn't enjoy, such as the belligerent and useless police chief. The police tend to get a bad rap in detective books and it leaves a sour taste in my mouth. But there were good points to balance it out. Coben uses technology well in SHELTER. He remembers that today's teens have cell phones and use them - and that they leave texts, not voicemails. It gave a realism to Mickey, Spoon, and Ema's interactions.Netherlandhttp://appreciatelifevenmore.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5355047345609015707.post-87962876593180008722011-09-16T23:31:51.042+01:002011-09-16T23:31:51.042+01:00This one intrigues me! :) Nice.This one intrigues me! :) Nice.T.
