Sometime during my high school years, I gave up on Harlan Coben's novels, but when Shelter's Australian publisher sent me the author's first young adult book I decided to give it a go.Mickey Bolitar is easy to like, a guy who just wants to put down roots, make some friends, and come to terms with hi...

First off, let me say that I love Harlan Coben and his Myron Bolitar books. However, this new "Mickey Bolitar" book....not so much. The story was a bit too "out there" for me. The real identity for the Bat Lady was far-fetched and I'm wondering how much this will draw teens in.

He is so good at throwing a curve ball in the story too and I always wonder when it's coming. This is his debut into young adult fiction and I was excited to read it. I have to say that...
