Mickey and his friends barely survived the last week. This week after a conversation with Bet Lady, he questions his past. How could what he saw be possible?
During a phone conversation with his friend Rachel, she hears something and hangs up the phone in a hurry. The next day, Mickey opens the door to the police. They want him to come down to the station for some questions.
Right after Rachel hung up the phone, a bullet grazed her head and her mother died. Rachel doesn't remember anything, but people are acting strange around her.
Mickey can't leave it alone. He, Ema, and Spoon dig deeper into their friend's mystery. Could it be connected in some way with Mickey's past?
My Thoughts: I really like these books - they have lots of action. I liked watching Mickey play basketball. I love the banter between him and his friends. I like the interaction between Mickey and his uncle. I love the layers in this series. Just when I think I have anything figured out, immediately something happens that tells me I have no idea what's really going on. This book ends with more questions ensuring more novels coming. I'll be waiting for those.
Cover Thoughts: Interesting and creepy

I really enjoyed Shelter and I love Coben's books in general.
I never knew that Harlan Coben wrote a YA series, but now that I do I'll definitely be reading it!
My patrons love Harlan Coben. Hope he keeps them coming!!!
I love reading too although you wouldn't know it since I left a comment about my patrons loving Harlan Coben and forgot to say I'm a small public library's director and my email address is cband13@gmail.com or work email address is director@roanoke.lib.in.us.
The trailer for Shelter was FAB!! Coban is one of those adult authors who successfully transitioned to YA with a pause.
Thanks for the review! Naomi Bates

Coben's books are great, and we could always use more good YA mysteries.
