Shelter in Place Nora Roberts 9781250161598 Books

This is the first time I have taken a week to read a NR book; however, this book was so different. I could not just bang through it.

The timing on this book was emotional. The book starts with a mass shooting in a mall. I read other reviews that said the book seemed preachy, I thought it was pretty realistic. It is a very slow moving romance, the couple does not even meet until the 50 percent part of the book.

The book was thorough on developing the characters and how and why they turned out like they did. It was extremely well done. There were parts that made me uncomfortable and brought tears to my eyes. So kudos to the author.

I am at the point with NR that I am only reading her single release in the spring and the JD Robb books. While these were very familiar personality characters, they stood on their own. I did not give it 5 stars, because while the story was very well done, this is not a book I would go back and re read. There was not a character I loved. I felt all characters just moved the storyline, I didn't connect like I thought I would. I ended up not caring for Simone, and the Chief, well he was okay, I just didn't see why he loved Simone. The romance didn't connect for me, maybe b/c I didn't like Simone. And it could be silly little things like, why does there always need to be some form of witchcraft or mystical junk in the book? It is a little too patterned and predictable that way for me to push it into 5 stars.
I liked the town, I loved the place. The book was emotionally wrenching, I am glad I read it.

Shelter in Place Nora Roberts 9781250161598 Books Reviews

This was a great story and I had a hard time putting the book down. I cried during several different parts. The beginning was heartbreaking and so very timely with what is going on in our world today. I loved that as the book progressed through the years from the mass shooting we were able to see how the main characters grew and changed and how that tragedy affected their lives - whether it was their family dynamics or friendships or romantic relationships. The flip side of that was watching how the villain of the story progressed through the years - the additional tragedy that she caused and the coldness in the way she did it. That character was chilling and I will say that I had more than one nightmare the first night after I started reading the book. I enjoyed all the characters very much, but CiCi was my favorite. This book is definitely worth reading.
I spent the first 30 pages saying damn you Nora, because I was crying through the trauma of emotions conveyed. I would think she spent hours talking to victims to capture the the real feelings of surviving a mass shooting. Though this is a fictionalized story, I was glad to see an author with a international presence such as Nora Roberts bring it to the fore front. I did yearn for a political statement on it, but that's not Nora nor the point of the book. I can see others being upset that the events of this book evolve from a mass shooting. However, why not? The antagonist is not your typical suspense novel nutcase. Its not some make serial killer raping and maiming women and that is nice departure from that overused trope. The madness of the antagonist is explored as well, giving us why to all the killing.
Overall I liked it and was not disappointed nor was reminded of other stories written by Nora
This is my first truly unhappy review of Nora's books. I almost quit about 1/3 in and forced myself to keep reading, it had to get better. I kept waiting for Reed and Simone to connect and it didn't happen until halfway through. This is one I'll have to read again soon, but I will skip over the horrible time spent in the mind of the villain, the awful things she did and just read the good (IMHO) parts. Some may like delving into the psychopathic mind of a truly awful villain, but not I. Nora doesn't do it often, but it's not for me.
I received a preview of the first chapter of this book several months ago a n immediately put it on preorder even though the release date was further in advance than I usually buy. But, hey, Nora Roberts. This book has a similar format as the Witness which I really liked, although I found the subplots in the witness much more entertaining. (I’ve never really found living in the mind of the killer very compelling, although Roberts manages it with her usual flair.)
There is no real mystery here as we know the killer very early on. The suspense comes from catching the killer. Readers of the “In Death” series will very much enjoy this one.
Wow. Terrifying and heartbreaking, and in true Nora R fashion, draws you in until the characters are right there beside you, smiling, crying, breathing. The romance took a bit to heat and discover, but that's actually okay. I loved how we saw each character develop, and what made them do as they did, and also into the people they were. It's actually BETTER the romance part waited, because neither was ready for it until then. Ms. R is fabulous with relationships, especially family ones, and here, I would say the family IS the romance, the love, if you will. From the 'traditional' family structure to the hero who made his own family, it all was so well done I wanted to be Sim or Essie's sister and especially CiCi's granddaughter!

This is a story of rebuilding, moving on, and growing. Not just maturing but actually growing and of PTSD, something so rarely is spoken of and acknowledged. Each character fought his/her own demons and battles. Some won. Some didn't. But all changed from who he/she was at the start to who he/she was at the end. And that's the hope we all have, isn't it? To simply LIVE life the way it should be lived, even when bad things happen.

While the villain is named almost from the start, the motives and things which shaped are so compelling you ALMOST want to reach out and try to help. In a world where this could all be tomorrow's headlines, it sends a powerful message of hope, rebuilding, and love in all its many forms. And that there are simply some people beyond help and truly 'soulless' who could live right next door. Well, well done. Ms. R.
