Shelter (YA)

Shelter (YA)

This seems to be the first in a new series.  Mickey is the nephew of Myron Bolitar, from Coben's adult books.  Mickey is new to Myron's hometown, his father recently died in a car accident and his mother is in rehab for drug addiction.  Mickey becomes friends with Ema, an overweight Goth girl, and Spoon, a geek with decent computer skills.  They begin to search for Ashley, another new student who has mysteriously disappeared.  This book has good action, decent mystery, twists and turns and interesting characters.  Readers will get sucked in to this read.  I enjoyed it and will continue with this series.  This book would be a good read for both HS girls and boys.
