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 … 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.

A fast read -somewhat predictable but deals with today’s issues.
Awesome Awesome book. This is a 6 star book.
One of the best books I’ve read in a long time.Hard to put down.
This book was hard to read because of the content but I really did enjoy the story. I sobbed though the beginning and the middle got to be a little slow, but it was twisted and fully held my attention. Have a box of tissues near by when you start this book.
I love almost everything I’ve read by Nora! Such good character building – gets you so involved in the story.
Nora Roberts doesn’t disappoint with her character building.
This book was gripping. I had a hard time putting it down and was quite anxious to pick it back up. It was so timely with the many situations we see in our country today that it was a true thought provoker!
I am almost finished reading it and it is a great story and well written! Makes you stop and think about the world we are living in today.
I love Nora Roberts, and this book might just be my new favorite. It begins with a mass shooting in the local mall by three deranged teenage boys. It weaves a story of some of the survivors and how they each deal with the trauma in their own way. Fast forward twelve years as some of these survivors’ lives weave together to face a new threat. I loved the richness and depth of the characters and the various storylines that come together with time.
While fiction, this book shows how mass shootings affect the families of the victims and the lives of the survivors long after the horrific tragedy.
You can never go wrong with Nora, and this one didn’t disappoint!
Nora Roberts is always a great read. This book was no exception. Good characters and suspense.
I could not stop reading this once I started!
Another great romantic suspense from Nora Roberts that begins with a tragedy. As life continues for the main characters, the evil that lead to the massacre at the mall reappears. The hero & heroine saved lives during the massacre and find each other even as evil stalks them.
She handled a sensitive issue with such grace. This is one I couldn’t put down
I couldn’t put it down.
Great beginning to a trilogy. I liked it since it is different and magical. Six people set out on an adventure discovering they all have a special power. I don’t want to give too much away but I am now reading the third book. Loving it and the characters.
I was in tears for most of the first third of this book!
I was surprised with the beginning and fell into the story waiting to find out what happens. I couldn’t put my kindle down.
Loved this book, was a joy to read from the first page until the last page.
