A review by elisabethdg
Shelter in Place by Nora Roberts
3.0
Romance/Thriller but most of the book is a thriller. There is a shift in tone when the co-MC's meet each other. We know it's predestined half-way through the book. So there isn't any suspense whether the HEA will happen.
The mall shooting thriller through the years is solid, and the villain is pretty great. Reminds me of Villanelle is Killing Eve a bit. But that could be the fact I just finished season 1 talking....
Side note: NR writes very dynamic older women characters. Like Cece. It makes zero sense to me why she keeps writing 20 to 30 something leads. NR is 67 herself, and I would love to have her write an older age romance. Even romance/thriller which is her jam lately. Lately, her older female characters are the more interesting characters in her stories- write them stories, please!
