Description

From Nora Roberts comes the #1 New York Times bestseller Shelter in Place (June 2018)a powerful tale of heart, heroism...and propulsive suspense.

It was a typical evening at a mall outside Portland, Maine. Three teenage friends waited for the movie to start. A boy flirted with the girl selling sunglasses. Mothers and children shopped together, and the manager at video game store tended to customers. Then the shooters arrived.

The chaos and carnage lasted only eight minutes before the killers were taken down. But for those who lived through it, the effects would last forever. In the years that followed, one would dedicate himself to a law enforcement career. Another would close herself off, trying to bury the memory of huddling in a ladies' room, helplessly clutching her cell phone--until she finally found a way to pour her emotions into her art.

But one person wasn't satisfied with the shockingly high death toll at the DownEast Mall. And as the survivors slowly heal, find shelter, and rebuild, they will discover that another conspirator is lying in wait--and this time, there might be nowhere safe to hide.

    I have to say that the beginning of the book was so raw I had to put it down for a few weeks. However, when I picked it up again, I could not put it down! It is incredible!

    Very detailed characters and unfortunately the subject is way too familiar to our society.

    No idea how she still does it after all these years but she can still tell a new story and make me wish that I had half the talent.

    Loved this story. Started off with a tragedy, but the real story was in the characters and the aftermath. Loved CiCi and Reed. Funny and relatable. Long book that kept me interested the entire time.
  • Started out great

    The first half of this book was a page turner. High suspense, very interesting. But somewhere along the way the story just falls flat. It feels very drawn out, with all sorts of story lines being thrown in just as filler. It is an unnecessarily LONG book. Found myself flipping through pages trying to hurry up and get to the end. I don’t know what happened here Nora. Started out great, but seems like you lost your way in the middle.
  • Wonderful

    This is a book that I would highly recommend. I loved it and couldn’t put it down from the first page to the last. The characters were realistically drawn and the outcomes of trauma were very realistic. Go grab this and read.
