What can I say? I love different and I love unique. And Anonymous was all that and then some!

Jo-Anne Joseph is an author that I can't wait to read more of. If any of her other works are even remotely like Anonymous, then I'm going to be so happy.

I love stories that are carefully plotted and planned and that's exactly the way Anonymous was. Every single "I" was dotted and "T" was crossed and my mouth was literally left hanging open after each chapter. In the beginning, I was a little confused, but I soon discovered that the author was laying the foundation, carefully at that. Sinclair was an easy character to like. She had it all--a promising job from home, two adorable kids, a loving husband, a best friend she thought the world of--and then it all started to unravel. Cohen wasn't so much the husband that she thought and her best friend wasn't living up to her end of the friendship chain either. And then there was Anonymous.

Each character played a vital part throughout the story and I felt like pulling my hair out so many times because just when I thought I knew what was going to happen, the story took another twisted detour.

If you're looking for a psychological, twisted romance, I can't recommend this story enough. The words will consume you and you'll find that it's not easy to put down. With each chapter, the flashbacks as well as the ones written in the present, will take your mind on a suspenseful journey.

FANTASTIC job, Jo-Anne Joseph! Hands down, a five-star read that will keep you up well into the night!!

This is an amazing, gripping, mind blowing, intense story. You will be hooked from the first page with this book. The characters in this book are well written, crazy, complex, twisted and definitely dark. This story is full of suspense from start to finish. There's only one way to describe this book and that's mind blowing from start to finish.

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.

What have I just read?? This was so amazing I just wanna re read it agin straight away. I felt as if my mind was running ahead trying to guess what was gonna happen. Obviously I was wrong as the author kept throwing twists and turns at me.

Be warned once you start reading you won’t want to stop. Just one more chapter and next thing I know I’ve put my kindle down with a big grin on my face that the author sucked me in so good.

Plot twist left and right! This book knows how to keep you engaged! I found myself almost saying “omg” aloud several times. There are a lot of moving parts to this story and many characters involved. I’d say it’s a psychological thriller that is pretty fast paced.

One important note: for those that have trouble with cheating...this book does contain that. It’s not the h but it is the h’s husband who is a significant character in the book (and he’s in this a lot), but he’s not the H. Also there’s another cheating scene with a non main character (character is very minimal in book).

An intense read - and not for the faint of heart who loves mystery and suspense. This is such an intricately laid out book with such overlapping plot twists that it was difficult to keep up. If you love mysteries like this - you’ll love this book!

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!

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.

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
