Thank you for your captivating review.
This story sounds luring. The puppeteer sounds rather ominous in this story.
I can't help but wonder what will become of Wayne, Joanne, and Samantha at the end of this enchanting and thrilling plot.
Congratulations to the author 👏

Thanks for sharing this book review. It sounds like a captivating and thrilling read. I like how you described the characters and their struggles, as well as the themes of the book. I'm curious to find out how the story ends and what happens to Samantha. I think I'll give this book a try. Congrats on #BOTD!

Post by Boluwatife Ade Aderogbin »

This is an interesting story with the theme of love, most importantly family love. It is portrayed in how Chris and Andy are saddled with the responsibility of guiding Joanne and Samantha. The way they protected them raised a high level of paternal love that should be in every family. Every member of a family should seek to protect and guide their members at all times.

Great review! Considering how the start of the book immediately took me aback (when reading the sample), I can only imagine the twists and turns the rest of it has. If you have a solid foundational plot for all of that, you’re golden!
One of the standout aspects of this re-reviewed edition is the impeccable editing. The absence of errors showcases a commendable level of attention to detail. This updated version ensures a seamless reading experience, allowing readers to fully immerse themselves in the story.
As someone currently on the path of becoming a proofreader/editor, this makes me so happy. Never underestimate the value and necessity of such skills!
