Fear the Joneses

In the midst of a larger civil war, an ongoing neighborhood feud takes over this once serene Alaskan lakeside community. Coming from New Jersey, Genie Hunt knows she is out of her element in the harsh arctic conditions, when she is left battling for her life between two clear enemies: the new Freedom Federation militia and the always watchful eyes of Nina Jones, her next-door neighbor. The novel shows the before and after war torn northern landscape, following an Ebola like epidemic that wipes out one-third of the population, causing a bitter American divide. But it gets worse, when the lakeside neighborhood turns on itself, becoming the prey of a vengeful killer, systematically hunting them down, one by one, with a bow and arrow.FEAR THE JONESES is an intense doomsday survival story, where neighbors are always watching, and everyone is the potential killer.FEAR THE JONESES follows the unfolding of an uncertain future like in the dystopian survival story “Swan Song,” by Robert R. McCammon. It lays out draconian laws through force on those least expecting it like in Margaret Atwood’s, “The Handmaids Tale.” With icy depictions and shrewd character development as in Ruth Ware’s psychological thriller, “One by One.”
