When I am ready to relax and unwind, I like nothing more than to sit down on a comfortable piece of furniture in a quiet room and open up a good book. I immerse myself totally in the words, becoming acquainted with the characters and learning about their lives.

Sheltered
By Debra Chapoton
Five troubled teens living together unsupervised confront demonic forces and are compelled to deal with their problems in distinctly different ways. Paranormal meets Psycho meets Goth in this story of a supernatural haunting and budding love.
High school junior, Ben, hacks into his step-father's real estate holdings and provides rooms in an old two-story house to various outcasts: the schizophrenic kid, the angry Goth girl, and the homeless girl who worships him. When Megan needs a place to live she comes to the rooming house with a different set of problems and the ability to confuse and attract Ben.
One by one, strange and mysterious occurrences stretch the teens' beliefs in the supernatural. How they deal with demons, real and imagined, has tragic as well as redeeming consequences.
~My thoughts~
This book seems to be aimed at a teenage audience, but I still enjoyed it. I would have liked for the author to let us know what happened to all of the teens by the end of the book. A couple of the teens were left hanging as to where their life was going to go.
