This story is absolutely amazing! From the very first page, I was completely hooked and couldn't stop reading.

I received a copy of "The Citizens (Jazz Nemesis, Book 1)" from L.M. Smith for an honest review. Jasmine gets kidnapped from her farm and winds up in Kolob, locked in a room.

Neither of them remembers anything other than waking up in their rooms. They quickly realize they've been kidnapped and placed in this town. The big question is: why? Well, that's revea...

Review of L.M. Smith’s The Citizens (Jazz Nemesis, Book 1) The Citizens (Jazz Nemesis, Book 1) is a character-driven story about a group of individuals who are abducted and thrown together in an apparently deserted, or perhaps mocked-up, “town.” All their basic needs are met – food, shelter, and clothing, and some latitude for choice is afforded. There’s just one catch: none of them are free to leave, yet there isn’t a captor or a minion anywhere in sight--only video cameras and ankle monitors ...

Would you still want to stay?Jasmine Marshall certainly didn’t ...

The following reviews can be found on Amazon.com by their original authors.Intrigued from the beginning! - 5 STARSBy Misty Rettagliata"I found the book to be an exciting read.
