I had a blast with this book and I loved the characters. Harlan Coben never disappoints
I really enjoyed the twists and turns of this novel even though it requires some suspension of disbelief. I would have rated it 4 stars until the very end. The final sentence was a jaw-dropping disappointment. :(
Would have been a 5 star but the book just randomly stopped. I get that there is a sequel, but there should at least be a natural break from book to book. It was almost like he stopped writing in the middle of a sentence.

I recently viewed the Amazon Prime series and felt compelled to read the book it was adapted from. The show stayed true to the original story for the most part, but there were a few changes made. I wasn't particularly fond of the ending, as it left me hanging. It's possible that Coben used this as a hook to keep readers invested in the series. At this point, I'm undecided on whether to continue with the series. I may test the waters by reading some of Coben's other works before making a final decision. Overall, I would rate this a 2.5 out of 5.
Coben enters the Young Adult book market with this story of Myron Bolitar's nephew, Mickey. Following his father's death and mother's subsequent descent into addiction, Mickey is under Myron's loose guardianship. As the new kid in school, Mickey draws attention by standing up for the unpopular kids. He draws the attention of cute girl, too. When she mysteriously disappears, Mickey enlists the help of two new friends, but not Uncle Myron, to investigate. He uncovers a dangerous operation, gets beaten up, and finds an unexpected link to his parents' past. Coben always creates likable characters and his writing for teens is readable without being juvenile.
First teen book by H. Coben & it was very well done. I liked it a lot. But I do love all his books!
As the first novel I've read by this author, I was totally engaged! Loved the misfit cast, was drawn in by the sense of mystery, impressed by the nature of the secret society and appreciated the lack of the obvious in the romance department. Looking forward to more from this author!
This is the first book by Coben that I've read, but it certainly won't be the last. I was hooked from the start, and the book just flew by. The plot, like that of most thriller/mystery novels was fairly implausible, but the characters were engaging and beautifully drawn.
