The vivid portrayal of Wayne and Joanne's determination has piqued my interest. I'm eager to dive into the complexities of their journey and the palpable urgency created by the chilling puppeteer.

For fans of the supernatural genre, Stephen D. Curtis introduces Joanne Middleton and her daughter Samantha and weaves their lives together with mentally ill Wayne Terry, whose life is being controlled by a malevolent entity. Who will win the battle of good vs evil? Jump into the action, suspense, and unpredictable plot twists to find out! Excellent book review!

The book sounds pretty intense and suspenseful with lots of twists and turns and emotional turmoil. I hope Joanne and Samantha will be OK and that "malevolent entity" will get what "it" deserves. Congratulations on becoming BOTD!

The battle between good and evil has been there since the beginning of time and will continue until the world ceases to exist. It is good to see family members stand together. Action, intrigue and unexpected twists sound like a riveting novel thank you for the insightful review.

Congrats on BOTD!
An engaging tale of love, deceit, and a traditional conflict between good and evil, "Circle of Innocents" Along with Joanne and Samantha, a mother-daughter duo escaping evil powers, Wayne, haunted by a past love, is also featured. Vibrant characters abound in the story, such as Chris and Andy, the antagonist's protectors, and the evil puppeteer protagonist.

The sample I got from Amazon was too short, the story continue and Wayne is an absolute mistery that I want to solve. So good!

The review summarised every chapter of the book revealing to us the characters and the menace they faced, starting from samantha and her mother johanne and terry wayne with his grudge for his mother although the review never made mention of
Monique( the girl wayne loved but was his mother's lover) all-round it was a great review write up.

Although I understand that Wayne is deeply hurt by what he has gone through, I am not certain I would enjoy a book that shows him getting back at others. Thanks for the review though!
