After Live Wire, I was sad to know that the series was coming to an end and that Coben would shift his focus on Mickey Bolitar. I was uncertain with Cobens decision to do a teen novel but I thought I would give it a try.
Shelter was very good and reminiscent of Cobens other books. The plot kept you guessing and there was enough of an open ending that gave you some closure but at the same time you knew there were more mysteries to be solved.
If Win and Myron had a baby, that would be Mickey. His heart was more similar to Myron but he showed fighting prowess of Win. In many ways, Mickey was really just a young version of Myron but tougher. In fact he had a lot of the same reactions to things as Myron did in the previous books. He also developed a good core group of friends (most without any real parents around) that mimics Myrons group. I was disappointed that Myron wasnt more involved but in a way I understood. This one was supposed to be about Mickey after all.
It was a great read for me but Ive read all the Bolitar books. I dont think it was a good standalone book though. Without reading at least Live Wire first I would think the book would be slightly confusing. That being sad, I am not sure how teens would react to it as a first book in a new series. I enjoyed it though and look forward to finding out more about Mickey and his new group of friends.
