I challenge you to read this and not be sucked in and rooting for Mickey, Ema and Spoon! Their determination to do the right thing, and their schemes to sneak around and investigate are endearing and brilliantly drawn. ![]() At the center of the plot is another death: this time Rachel, who helped to save Ashley in Shelter, is shot along with her mother.Ī key strength of both books is the characterisation. The shadowy figure of The Bat Lady still hovers and the truth about the Abeona Shelter is clearly going to be a long-running plot thread, which the teens do unravel a bit further here. At the end of Shelter, Mickey received some startling news, which naturally he investigates in this instalment, along with other new mysteries that crop up. The novel's action picks up from where Shelter leaves off, and takes us deeper into the mystery and conspiracies that were beginning to be unpicked in the first novel. As always, since this is a review for a sequel, there may be spoilers for the first book in the series here - please look away if you haven't read it yet! The first in the series was the fabulous Shelter, and this follow-up is just as good. ![]() Gripping YA crime thriller from a master writer This is the second in Coben's YA series focused on Mickey Bolitar, nephew of his main adult character, Myron Bolitar. ![]()
