I really enjoyed this book, it was very chilling.

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Oooo, I like the sound of chilling!! Very excited to read my first Gordon novel.

[Alana ~ The Book Pimp]

This one is very unlike her YA series, although I love it too. There is an AMAZING technique of POV's she uses at the end- so powerful!

I can't seem to find this book anywhere ... is it only available as an e-book?

[Shera (Book Whispers)]

Looks that way either get the ebook or kindle versoin.

The writing style was creative and was what kept you in each of the eight well-developed characters. Using the character's name as the heading instead of chapter title shifted the POV that didn’t leave you lost as to whom you were involved with at any given point in the story. The ending put tension up as you flow from one-person thoughts into the next without the break of the former characters with the continued sentence. Distinguished story to have read. Glad there is a second book in the works.

There's only one area I would have like addressed. (view spoiler)[There was no reaction to the surprise bombing that the Decider had planned in which the police should have found and would have been in the newscast. Especially, Joe's reaction to it. I would have like to have heard her thoughts wondering how she would have handled the situation differently if she had known about the additional risk involved or would she have decided that would have stopped her.

It's really nice when the chapters state which character is telling the story, especially when the POV jumps around a lot.

It is only ebook at this time, but she is planing on bring it out in hardcopy (I believe paperback) in the near future.

Picked up 'Joe' today for my Nook Tablet.
Will let you know when I'm finished with it.

Anyone here read the two 'Alexa Montgomery' Books she wrote before 'Joe' ? I picked those books up at the same time for my reader.....

I haven't, but I've heard great things about them.

I Think they are posted as YA. Coming of age, 'fish out of water', Growing into her personality, etc.
Remind me of'Maxine Kiss' the Weather Warden series, Sabine Kane and the Bloodhound Series.

Finished 'Joe' this morning. Powerful read. My first 5 Star in a long while. Put in a review, also.
