INTENSE!

"Shelter" is one hell of a debut by Jun Yun. I was hooked by the end of the first chapter. Yun's writing is so vivid. You can see and feel everything that is happening within the story/plot. Never a dull or awkward moment. I don't think I got distracted once while reading this book, which is rare for me because I get distracted very easily (I can't help it, I'm a Gemini). Her characters are intriguing, complex, and deeply-flawed. The Cho family is the most toxic family I've read in a long time. You can feel the tension, resentment, and deep-seated anger on every page. I don't want to ruin the plot but "Shelter" might be upsetting to some who have experienced physical/verbal abuse, rape, and/or home invasions. This book exceeded my expectations. Wow. I can't stop thinking about it. The ending was just...HEARTRBREAKING. Ugh. I'll definitely be reading more Jun Yun in the future. Hot damn, she can write!
