The citizens are at the mercy of their captor and keep looking for ways to escape. They become friendly with one another, but can they trust each other?

Review of L.M. Smith’s The Citizen The Citizen is a character driven story of a group of individuals 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 that pack quite a punch. Of the five stranded, two develop a ro...

The Citizens (A Jazz Nemesis Novel) by L.M. Smith (Goodreads Author) Synopsis from Goodreads"Imagine a town where you can stay out as late as you want, wake up when it suits you, you never have to go to work, and everything is free for the taking. Sounds perfect right? But what if you can’t remember where you are or how you got there? What if you can’t ever leave? And what if the only other people around are hostages, just like you? Would you still want to stay?Jasmine Marshall certainly didn’t ...

I was given this book in return for an honest review. Jasmine is a gamer and likes to keep to herself. When she wakes up in a strange hotel with 4 other people, she's not sure what to do or how to act. Jazz, Beck, Kaori, Piper, and Gordon all are trapped in this abandoned town. They are kept there by unseen people and can't escape due to an ankle monitor that doubles as an electric shocker and a sedation device. They soon realize that they can't leave and they can't ask questions because the onl...

This book had so many twists and turns that I'm not sure where to begin. What I can say is that the story is leaving me wanting more. After all that the 5 went through it isn't finished as the book ends. The character development over the course of the book and how they changed during the story is amazing. The way they interacted and depended upon each other and found that they were stronger as a group than they were as individuals is a fabulous lesson. I highly recommend this book to everyone, ...

This is definitely going to be on my top ten list of mindblowingly awesome reads of 2012. I’m not kidding. I was knocked off my feet by the downright intensity and splendid storyline of this book!Other than for me to simply beg you to go get this book - no matter what the purchase price – and move it to the top of your to-be-read list, here are a few reasons why I can guarantee you’ll agree that this book should be either made into a tv series, or at the very least be nominated as one of the bes...

this book was amazing! caught me up in the story and didnt let go! twist after twist. i thought i knew for sure what was coming next, but no! it was totally different. i can not wait to read more from this author.

with no TV no for of entertainment at all except each other, i'm not sure i could survive ! lol

I absolutely adore this book. At 3% in I thought, Ah, I know where this is headed; at 7% it became apparent that I had it wrong. Then later as the story progressed I formed theory after theory. I have to say, all of them were wrong. This is a reading experience that might not appeal to all. As the citizens of Kolob realises they are in for the long haul so do the reader. It is a matter of survival at first, then of forming bonds, then of staying alive. But what want to change them? Why are they ...

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. It's full of suspense and leaves you with all these questions that you "just have to know" so you keep reading. The end had a bit of an odd twist to it. But there is no doubt that a sequel MUST be in the works in order to quell the remaining questions. This wasn't an ending I could just put my own assumptions to...KEEP WRI...
