Not sure if I should be asking here or in the Help Thread, but this was the book I planned on using for this task and I made my list back when the tasks were posted. Does this mean I can't use this book -Blood Oath? The book was on the list when I looked at it back in September. Just wanted clarification. Thanks.

You may use a book that already appears on a list, but you may not add a book to a list in order to use it.

Book Description
Publication Date:November 16, 2010
Rookie patrol officer Trish Robinson isn't expecting to see any action during another routine night on the job. But when she and her training officer answer a prowler call at a remote estate, the two cops walk into an ambush laid by a crew of ruthless criminals. Disarmed, cut off from help, and outnumbered five to one, the young rookie must draw on inner resources she never knew she possessed as she plays a game of cat-and-mouse with hardened killers in a desperate battle to survive. This book is a reissue of a title by New York Times bestselling suspense novelist Michael Prescott, here writing under the pen name Brian Harper.
