Hi @MKJWMcB, I received a notification that your just commented on the official review. I found the official review somewhat confusing so I read the entire sample and it gave me more insight into Wayne the exposer, Wayne the photographer who will meet the woman he exposed himself to at a photo shoot, Monique the bi-sexual lover of Wayne's mom who also took Wayne's virginity at age 15. The puppeteer in Wayne's head gets him to do evil things. This book must have a wild ending. @Mrlefty0706

Hi @DL Gardene, the sample really filled in the blanks about the characters especially Wayne the exposer, Wayne the photographer that will meet the woman he exposed himself to at a photo shoot, the puppeteer in Wayne's head that gets him to do evil things and Monique the bi-sexual lover of Wayne's mom and taker of Wayne's virginity at age 15. Several twists and turns in multiple plots that makes me want to read the book. @Mrlefty0706

Love, trauma, and the battle between good and evil make a good read. I will give this book a chance even though it's a genre I'm not familiar with. Thank you for the review.

A very interesting book that has an interesting cover. Definitely suits the title too. I'd like to read about Wayne who is scarred by love because I think that's so relatable. And I'd like to know what exactly the sinister forces that the mother-daughter duo are running from.

"Circle of Innocents" by Stephen D. Curtis is a captivating tale of love, trauma, and the battle between good and evil. The well-drawn characters, led by Wayne and Joanne, navigate a world of manipulation and malevolence. Thank you for your amazing review.

There's promise of an intriguing tale about Wayne who mourns his first love, and Joanne and Samantha who are running from evil forces. My mind wonders at how the author would weave their tale together.

A fictional book about dealing with traumas and the determination of the characters in battling the good versus evil. The paternal protection of mother and daughter is intriguing which enables the readers feel the love. Those who loves literature that explores emotional depth will appreciate this type of read.

The cover shows a fetus in the womb. Does the book feature abortion? I may ruffle a few feathers here, but I believe the unborn have a right to be born. They are God's precious and holy gifts to the parents.

Hi @Black Indigo, I just received a notice that you reviewed the official review. I read the sample and was hooked on a very strange book. Wayne the exposer, Wayne the photographer who will soon meet the woman he exposed himself to at a photo shoot, the puppeteer that lives in Wayne's head and gets him to do evil things and Monique the bi-sexual lover of Wayne's mom and the taker of Wayne's virginity when he was 15 years old is a lot to digest. I will read the book. @Mrlefty0706

Hi @Manang Muyang, I too was confused by the cover but the book does not seem to have anything to do with abortion. I agree with your beliefs unless the pregnancy was the result of incest or rape. I suggest you read the entire sample and you will amazed at what goes on in this multiplot story. Wayne the exposer, Wayne the photographer that is going to meet the woman he exposed himself to at a photo shoot, the puppeteer that lives in Wayne's head and Monique the bi-sexual that loves Wayne's mom and took Wayne's virginity at age 15. Is this enough to motivate you to read the book? I plan to read it to learn what happens to the well-developed characters. @Mrlefty0706
