Review - Joe by H.D. Gordon

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 is 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 psycho, and save the lives of people. People like you and me. Ordinary people.

My Thoughts

Joe, told from multiple points of view, is a fascinating, yet dark tale. I loved burrowing into the heads of the characters because it made me feel like I truly knew them, and therefore I was able to truly care for each of them and their fates. Learning their backstories – mistakes and all – and how each of them are actively trying to right their past wrongs invokes not just sympathy for the characters, but real empathy.

At first, I thought it was a little confusing that each chapter is the point of view of a different character. It felt like I was reading excerpts from different books. But, then their everyday activities started to twine together in, and I felt anxious to discover how they affect each other. In the end, their stories interweave beautifully.

This is not a typical paranormal read, and not light-hearted either, but if you’re looking for something dark and interesting, you’ll want to pick up this book.

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

Rating: 4/5
