by

I don’t know about the rest of you but I have been a fan of Harlan Coben for years now and have read practically everything he’s written.  I love his writing style and his storytelling ability.  I’m excited to share with you all today the second book in his Mickey Bolitar young adult series called Seconds Away which released on September 18 and as an added bonus the first book in the series, Shelter, released in paperback recently and I’ve got a few copies of it to share with my readers as well.  So let’s get on with seeing what the books are about and be sure to check out the great giveaway of both books at the end of the post!

 

 

About Seconds Away

When tragedy strikes close to home, Mickey Bolitar and his loyal new friends—sharp-witted Ema and the adorkably charming Spoon—find themselves at the center of a terrifying mystery involving the shooting of their friend Rachel. Now, not only does Mickey have to continue his quest to uncover the truth about the Abeona Shelter, the Butcher of Lodz and the mysterious death of his father, he needs to figure out who shot Rachel—no matter what it takes.

Mickey has always been ready to sacrifice everything to help the people he loves. But with danger just seconds away, how can he protect them when he’s not even sure who—or what—he’s protecting them from?

About Shelter

 

The stunning young adult debut from international bestseller Harlan Coben is now in paperback!

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. Fortunately, he’s met a great girl, Ashley, and it seems like things might finally be improving. But then Ashley vanishes. Mickey follows Ashley’s trail into a seedy underworld that reveals that Ashley isn’t who she claimed to be. And neither was Mickey’s father. Soon Mickey learns about a conspiracy so shocking that it leaves him questioning everything about the life he thought he knew.

  10. This is one series that I wouldn’t mind getting for my kids. I think it would appeal to both of them, so that’s one plus, and it also appeals to me! Shh, don’t tell anyone, but I often buy YA “for the kids”, and then get to add some great books to my collection too! I’d love to enter the giveaway, Dar!
