The Broken Ones
Seemingly overnight, Indianapolis becomes the epicenter of a bizarre “outbreak” as ordinary people develop extraordinary powers, but are these abilities a blessing or a curse?
• Chris Taylor, a disgraced police officer, finds himself plagued by horrific visions of murders yet to come.
• Miss Fire, a flame wielding villain, plots to rob a jewelry store with the help of a dirt construct called Golem.
• Mac, an overweight teenager gifted with the power of flight, sets out with his friend Allison to fight crime.
As more people discover their “gifts,” the police are pushed to their limits just to keep up. What caused this outbreak? Can these new “heroes” learn where to draw the line? Boundaries are crossed and minds are tested as the world discovers the bloodshed that inevitably will follow... The Broken Ones.

If you list an editor in the front matter of your book, I would expect the story to be well edited. I made it to about the 10% point of this book, and wow it was full of errors. Good on Jobe for hiring an editor, but he really should ask for a refund.
The 10% I read was all about one character, and in that time the author couldn't make me care at all about him. Between that and the distraction of the grammar issues, I was quick to DNF this book.
Jobe set the price of this book at $9.99 for the Kindle version and $19.99 for the paperback, which is about the same price as traditionally published (and edited) books. Crazy.
