Shelter, by Harlan Coben, was such a good book. It had such an amazing start to it and it started rising as soon as the book started. The main character, Mickey Bolitar, has been through a lot. His father died right in front of him becuase of a car crash. His mother broke down after the death and became an addict to drugs. She was then put into a rehabilitation center.
Mickey is now in high school at this point of his life and he has a girlfriend named Ashley Kent. Ashley suddenly disappears and Mickey is worried for her safety and why she left with no warning. Mickey then makes friends with 2 other people by the name of Ema and Spoon. They both help him in finding out who Ashley really is and why she's missing. In the beginning Mickey walks past a house in which Bat Lady, a myth of an old lady who eats children, lives in. When he passes by, the lady emerges from the house and states that Mickeys father isn't dead. Now this leaves Mickey with many, many questions. Turns out Mickeys father and Ashley are NOT who he thinks they are.
That sounds like a great book!
