Synopsis:
From the author of the Alexa Montgomery Saga, comes a book that will take you into the mind of a genuine
psychopath, the lives of six ordinary people, and the world of a very special girl named Joe. Joe is seemingly an ordinary college student. She works, studies and reads. But in between these activities Joe has a gift that promises to add a dose of color to her life at any given moment. Joe sees things before they happen. Bad things and the worst thing she has ever faced are just around the corner. Someone is planning a massacre at the college university that Joe attends, and the only person with a hope of stopping the psychopath is her. Oh, the beauty of foresight. More like a curse. Joe has four days to figure out the mystery, make plans to take down the pyscho, and save the lives of people. People like you and me. Ordinary people.
My Review: 5 of 5 stars
H.D. Gordon’s newest book Joe is probably one of the better books I’ve read this year. HD Gordon is one fantastic author I have no idea how she researched this book to tell us readers this amazing thriller. It’s written with eight different POV’s and HD has done a terrific job, it flows well and I never once did I feel like … OMG what’s going on. Fantastic writing HD Gordon.
Joe is a clairvoyant who ends up in a situation where she must stop a disaster from happening; she has to face the Decider who is as evil and send shivers down your spine. You meet some interesting characters and truly feel for them. The one thing I will say that is negative about this book Joe is that once you start reading it you cannot put it down as have to know what is going to happen next. Without giving too much away all I can say is you must go read this novel. HD Gordon’s writing is amazing, truly one of the better written books I’ve read lately.
This story is a thriller/suspense/heart wrenching and oh a few tears may be shed. I have rated Joe 5 stars and if I was allowed I would say 6. Everyone should read this book especially if you love a good thriller/suspense novel and this is absolutely a book you need to purchase.
