The battle we all face daily is between light and darkness. We've seen movies and read books about this war between light and darkness. The good thing is that no matter how intense the battle is, the good always wins I hope the good people won in this novel as well.

“Circle of Innocents” by Stephen D. Curtis is a story with two ongoing plots that include manipulation and evil. Wayne started the story by exposing himself to a woman and her 19-year-old daughter at a jogging trail. They scarred him away and he went home to change and then went to his mother’s home where he saw Monique the bi-sexual lover of his mother and the woman that took his virginity. The sample was very descriptive and it made me feel like I was there watching the action. The sample ended with Monique falling down the stairs after fending off Wayne’s attack. Unknown to Wayne he would be meeting the mother he exposed himself to since he was a photographer and Joanne needed a new photographer for her current project. I need to read the book to learn the outcome. Raped by a woman at age 15 and becoming an exposer should lead to a stunning ending. A well-written book with plenty of action.

The plot sounds like a science fiction novel, and Wayne having two loves? How did that happen? And what happened to his first love? I can't help but wonder but I'm not a fan of sci-fi novels and might have to pass on this one. Congratulations on BOTD!!

"Circle of Innocents" by Stephen D. Curtis seems to be a very interesting read. Including suspense, love and the well known battle between good and evil it makes the story very engaging for the readers as these are very delicate topic and very well known for everyone.
Great review very well written.

I'm a little confused. Is the good vs evil battle of a paranormal type, or is it just good people trying to fight off bad ones? Is the puppeteer a real person or an evil entity? I guess I'm going to have to read the book to find out.

Just from reading this books official review, I know the content is action-packed and a rollercoaster of emotions. Joanne and Samantha are why I wabt to get this book because I'm interested in why they are on the run. Congrats to the author for having the BOTD.

"Circle of Innocents" by Stephen D. Curtis is a tale of love, trauma, and battle between good and evil. Best wishes on the BOTD award. The characters are well-developed. The book is well-edited. The plot has twists and turns and the outcome is uncertain. This re-review is well written. A good book indeed!

Hi @Stephen Christopher 1, I also was a little confused but it seems like the puppeteer is a evil voice in Wayne's head that gets him to do evil things. I also want to read the book to learn what happens when Wayne, the photographer, sees Joanne, the woman he exposed himself to when he shows up for the photo shoot. I also want to learn what happens to Monique. @Mrlefty0706

Hi @Priyankan Nayak, quite a lot going on in this book including questionable love, revenge, a bi-sexual lover of Wayne's mom who also took Wayne's virginity, Wayne the exposer who will meet the woman he exposed himself to when he shows up to do a photo shoot. This book is bound to have a crazy ending. @Mrlefty0706

Hi @Damian Keyes, I was somewhat confused by the official review so I read the entire sample and the mystery deepens. Quite a bit of action between Wayne the exposer, Wayne the photographer, Wayne under the influence of his internal puppeteer having forced sex with the bi-sexual lover of his mother that also stole his virginity when he was 15. A lot is going on and I also want to read the book. @Mrlefty0706

The well-drawn characters in *Circle of Innocents* by Stephen D. Curtis show evidence of a strong familial bond against the malevolent forces conjured up in this story. There is also impeccable editing according to the wonderful and intriguing review. This looks like a great story that pits good vs evil with lots of plot twists that keep the reader interested.
