" Harlan Coben, you don't disappoint. I've been sort of stuck in a book rut, so Shelter was a breath of fresh air. Thrilling and enjoyable and suspense-filled. I've never read a Myron Bolitar book, but I've been saying I'm going to. Solid 4.5/5 stars. "

" I liked everything about the book except the ending, which made no sense. It was as if the ending was taken from another book, or at least another time period, and yet I don't see many other people commenting on that, so I'm wondering if I missed something obvious. "

" Harlan Coben's YA novel did not disappoint! Loved the characters and decent plot. There was one scene that I thought was very unlikely (teens pretending to want a job in a shady environment)...but still a fun read. "

" Just not my kind of book. A little too high-adventure, and teen Mickey Bolitar seems way too grown up for his age. A good listen from Brilliance regular reader Nick Podehl, though.

" I listened to this book so not sure if that would make a difference on not, I found it entertaining. However, I am not sure that the YA audience will relate to it. The characters fit but the voice and vocabulary seems a little off to me.
