This was a unique read full of surprises! I loved the characters and the story kept me captivated from beginning to end. I highly recommend picking up this book if you enjoy books full of suspense. Anonymous by Jo-Anne Joseph is a MUST read and will join the ranks of the BIBLIO-ELITE!!!
Glimpses of life from various pov’s leave you with so many questions: who are you? what do you see ?what do you do? The back ground filled in with stories put together showing so many different viewpoints, action, chaos, pain, anger. This author does a great job of keeping you guessing all the way to the end. This a story that could have been mundane if not for the twists this author brings to the table. Wondering who is who, who’s watching who, who did to who, there is so many questions. This author does a great job of answering them while keeping us guessing. A twisted tale life of lies, love filled with lies, leaves her scrambling to recover. I have read a few of this author’s books all bringing out different reactions yet drawing me back for more. Really really good read.
Have you ever wondered what the writing might be like if Dean Koontz was a woman? He’s my fave across all genres, but Joseph seems to have channeled her inner Koontz with this one. It’s psychologically gripping with several storylines converging into an incendiary ending. And the good vs. evil theme? Oh yeah, it’s here. With a twist. A twist that will make you reconsider motives and rethink your core beliefs. This is like Koontz squared, with some romance tossed in.
My brain is still saying “Wait. What the? Whoa!” My psyche was teased and toyed with, my sense of black and white was challenged, my heart was palpitating and my mind. Was. (Sorry, the review bots don’t like that word.)
Never mind a synopsis, trying to introduce you to characters, or giving you an overview. It would be too easy to spoil things, and you need to go into it blind, figuring things out as you read, in order to get the full, stunning, mind-bending effect.
This gripping, astonishing, complex story takes us deep, tossing in twists and turns, then revealing bits and pieces, all the while keeping us guessing. l I was left flabbergasted. Dumbfounded. Speechless. And you know how Koontz is epic with his good vs. evil theme? Joseph does that. But with a twist.
For your romantic hearts, there’s also romance here, but again, with a twist. Also, it’s more of a tiny ember, quietly lit part way through the story, tended only enough to maintain its spark, then finally fanned and allowed to flame near the end.
If you like romantic suspense, you’ll love this book, and if you’re looking for something different, this is the book. I can’t urge you enough to give this one a read. It will keep you on the edge of your seat, challenge your thinking, keep you guessing, leave you breathless, and haunt you long after the last page. Don’t pass up this phenomenal, masterfully crafted, extraordinary read!
Amazing read! What a ride this book took me on, I’m still reeling from all the twists and turns.
This is my first read from this author and it will definitely not be my last. It grabbed my attention at the first page and did not let it go till the very end. Was up half the night trying to finish it, cause there was no way I could put it down. 5 plus star read
O.M.G.! Wow. I actually had to sit back for a day to decide what to write! And I still don’t know what to say! So let me just simply say that this book is amazing. It will blow your mind. It grabbed me tightly in its grasp and wouldn’t let go. Suspenseful. Just an all around great book.
WOW! This story totally messed with my mind in true Jo-Anne fashion!
The characters and plot and subplots we absolutely superb! There were so many twists and turns that I became immersed in this story, heart and soul!
I could not out this book down!
If you are looking for a mind blowing read with plenty of suspense and mystery, then this book is for you! Every chapter brought something new to light and I couldn’t wait to read the next page. So many complex, incredible characters that will have you holding your breath in anticipation of their next words and actions. Sinclair is one of the main characters and you can’t help but be in awe of her strong persona. She has gone thru so much in her life and has no idea how much it is going to change. Will she survive when she finds out the truth? I really can’t say anymore as I don’t want to tell any spoilers. What I can say is you need to read this incredible story that will take you on the ride of your life! Just pure brilliance!
Gripping. Bone-chilling. Mind-blowing. The characters captivated me. While I disliked a few of them, their story had me holding my breath in suspense while turning the pages as quickly as I could.
One Word.
PHENOMENAL!
I can’t express or even form proper words to do this book justice! All I can say is, it’s a must read and will BLOW. YOUR. MIND! .
If I could I’d give it a million stars. Jo-Anne has out did herself once again.

REVIEW
Well, I don’t know what to say about Anonymous. It’s disorienting, like the room is spinning, and you feel that sense of where am I, and what just happened. The perspectives, characters, storylines, etc. are numerous, and they run parallel, intersect, u- turn and have a head on collision. Do you get what I’m saying? This story is an excellent twisty sordid tale, and I couldn’t figure it out at all. I played the guessing game and lost. Be prepared for psychological madness and manipulation, and that’s all you need to know. Jo-Anne Joseph spins a darkly delightful thriller that you won’t soon forget.
OMG! This was my first book by this author, but it definitely will not be the last! She just really blew me away with this story! It was like a story, within a story, within another story! There were so many twists and turns, so much suspense and mystery, I kept thinking maybe I knew what was going on, but I was still missing pieces. I LOVED this book! There was one character I was hoping would die a slow, painful death. Maybe two characters, come to think of it! This is one book you won’t want to put down once you start, it will keep you guessing and keep you reading into the wee hours of the morning!
Wow this is a non stop read that has twists and turns in the plot that keeps you on the edge of your seat throughout this story. This is a amazing fast pace read that will take you over the edge read.

All’s I’m going to say is if you like a psychological thriller than this is the book for you! This was such a good read ! The suspense was high and the plot was intense! Definite must read and definite 5 stars !!!
*** I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book ***
This was my first book from Jo-Anne Johnson…I was excited and didn’t know what to expect… let me just was wow! This book was filled with twists and I loved it! It’s a definite read in my book!
This book took me on an amazing journey with twists and turns along the way. Just when I thought I knew where we were headed something new came up. It was hard to put this book down and I was captivated the entire time. I highly recommend it.
This is a new to me author and one I’ve been dying to try as I’ve heard she’s brillant at messing with minds.
The book will instantly hook you from the start wondering who that person is and what happened for them to get to that point.
The author then starts to set scene that will have you wondering how on earth all these puzzle pieces are going to fit together.
You’ll find yourself speeding through trying to get some answers but take my advice and take your time. There are so many threads that are part of the story. As things come to light you won’t believe some of the bombshells.
This is a well thought out story with so many different layers to it, you could read several times and still pick up different things. All I’ll say is pay attention to everyone and everything. Your head will be spinning.
I honestly don’t know how the author managed to keep track of everything, although there were a few inconsistencies they were honestly to be expected with book like this. Was pure genius. Even with those small things, it doesn’t make this book anything less than 5 stars.
Mind-blowing is one way to describe this story, the twists and turns are amazing. Just when you think, aha so that’s that… along comes something else!
What is the perfect life? An interesting question and although I don’t actually know of anyone who thinks they have one, either did the characters of this book! So far from perfect yet the facade was very clever.
The characters are all extremely interesting and some incredibly crazy too. They suck you in though making you want to know more about them, a job done well by this author who is totally new to me. However, I will definitely be reading more stories by this in the future.
This is a fast-paced book due to its involved storyline that has you gripped and needing answers. I have to say I did not want to put this book down once I started, it completely absorbed me from beginning to end.
