The Face on The Milk Carton Blog Tour: Janie Face to Face Excerpt

I remember back when I was in middle school reading a new book that had come out called The Face on the Milk Carton. I still remember how this book effected me as a young reader. What I didn't realize was this book is part of a 5 book series. Recently Random House Kids announced a ebook sample for the entire Janie Series. This ebook sampler is a new refresher for those of us who have read one or more of the books years ago. You can read the press release at the end of this post.


Today I'm excited to share with you the 1st chapter of the final novel in this series, Janie Face to Face. You can read the chapter by selecting the highlighted link. 

About the Book:

In this riveting and emotional conclusion to the thriller-romance Janie series, that started with The Face on the Milk Carton, all will be revealed as readers find out if Janie and Reeve's love has endured, and whether or not the person who brought Janie and her family so much emotional pain and suffering is brought to justice.
