SHELTER by Harlan Coben


A young adult debut from internationally bestselling author Harlan Coben

(
Shelter will be released on 15th September)

Mickey Bolitar's year can't get much worse. After witnessing his father's death and sending his mom to rehab, he's forced to live with his estranged uncle Myron and switch high schools.

A new school comes with new friends and new enemies, and lucky for Mickey, it also comes with a great new girlfriend, Ashley. For a while, it seems like Mickey's train-wreck of a life is finally improving - until Ashley vanishes without a trace. Unwilling to let another person walk out of his life, Mickey follows Ashley's trail into a seedy underworld that reveals that this seemingly sweet, shy girl isn't who she claimed to be. And neither was Mickey's father. Soon, Mickey learns about a conspiracy so shocking that it makes high school drama seem like a luxury - and leaves him questioning everything about the life he thought he knew.

First introduced to readers in Harlan Coben's latest adult novel, Live Wire, Mickey Bolitar is as quick-witted and clever as his uncle Myron, and eager to go to any length to save the people he cares about. With this new series, Coben introduces an entirely new generation of fans to the masterful plotting and wry humor that have made him an award-winning, internationally bestselling, and beloved author.

Suna destul de bine. Eh, coperta nu e prea atragatoare, dar nu ar fi cazul sa judecam o carte dupa coperta, no?:D

Parerea mea a fost intotdeauna ca si coperta conteaza; in acest caz pare sa fie potrivita (testul psihologic cu ce vezi..) dar, intradevar, as fi vrut un accent mai puternic pe titlu, ilustratie si nu pe numele autorului. Imi place in schimb combinatia de "culori"

Well, poate ca nu e gen copertile cu care ne-am obisnuit pana acum(ma refer la cartile pentru adolescenti contemporane). Adica multe sunt cu tipe dragute, baieti aratosi(sau nu), ori un amestec exploziv de culori care sa sara in ochi. Asta e mai inedita, insa nu neaparat frumoasa:D
