Supply Company all about?I did not receive any type of compensation for reading & reviewing this book. While I receive free books from publishers & authors, I am under no obligation to write a positive review. Only an honest one.A very awesome book cover, great font & writing style. A very well written thriller book. It was very easy for me to read/follow from start/finish & never a dull moment. There were no grammar/typo errors, nor any repetitive or out of line sequence sentences. Lots of exciting scenarios, with several twists/turns & a great set of unique characters to keep track of. This could also make another great movie, or better yet a mini TV series. A very easy rating of 5 stars.Thank you for the free author; Amazon Digital Services LLC; bookTony Parsons MSW (Washburn)

A nice Greek family
Theodora and Nicole are close sisters in a Greek family who experience love, betrayal, deceit and are uplifted by their family. Their parents marriage is an example of to what the sisters aspire. The road is paved with a cheating husband, as well as a married lover and sexism.Circle Dance by Liv Constantine (two sisters of Greek extraction) in many ways, mirrored my family dynamic. I enjoyed the references to the food, the family members, as well as the smattering of Greek words and expression.

Where's an editor when you need one?
Hoping for a Kazantzakis-quality read about Greek life in America, what I got instead was a Joan Collins-type book about confused, and confusing, young, affluent Greek women about their romantic problems. Mundane problems, at that. While not the gravest problem with this story, I was offended by two instances of terribly mistaken word selection. Not once, but twice, the sister-authors (with the commission of their allegedly qualified editors) wrote the exclamation "Here, here!" when the correct version is "Hear, hear" (as in "Hear him, hear him!" - as English members of Parliament would exclaim). Such a fundamental error is like fingernails on a chalkboard and serves to undermine a reader's attention to story when it then begins to scan for similar accidents. Such errors ought to be worth two star deductions, but I only gave it a one-star deduction out of a sense of charity - and hope that the sisters will look for better editors in the future.There are also plot problems in that both otherwise intelligent young women become absolutely moronic in their attraction to vain, shallow, egotistic men. Are there such women? Tragically, all too commonly. But I found their weakness in this vein maddeningly frustrating, particularly since the sister characters came from a family with strong traditions of respectful marital relationships. The ending was also cheaply wrought, with the easy death of the offensive husband of the married sister in an idiotic drunken driving scene - indicating that the sister-writers were running out of gas and needed to get off the highway.Hmmm...the more I think about this book, the more I think I should have assigned it two stars.

A Page Turner from the Beginning to the End
When I was awarded the title, “The Deception” Circle Dance Character Prequel, for my narrative audition I looked at the project as a task to complete. However, upon completion I had become quite interested in knowing more about what happened with the characters!I started to read Circle Dance shortly before bedtime, but stayed up long past my normal time. The next morning I couldn’t resist taking the morning off to read the rest of the book. I just couldn’t wait to find out what happened. Of course, I was pleased with the ending. You will simply have to read it for yourself to figure out why this book pulls you in so strongly and won’t let you go until you have seen the characters through to the end!Definitely read these books in this order: The Betrayal, The Deception, (both short story character prequels) and then read Circle Dance and you will be enthralled from the very beginning. Now I am wondering what will develop in the future with these characters and upcoming books?

Circle Dance ~ a new favorite that I'm recommending to everyone
This fantastic book drew me in immediately and submerged me in a loud, loving, fun-loving and hard working Greek family. I found that I couldn't put the book down because something was always happening that caused me to want to read one more chapter.The family and indeed, all the people in this book are written very well. The authors are skilled at populating the book with characters I wanted to like and learn more about, except the ones I didn't like and wanted to see get their comeuppance. Even those were fully fleshed out and "real" seeming.This book is able to drive life's lessons home without preaching and while making the reader fall in love with the characters. Please give it a chance and I think you too, like me, will come back to see if these authors have written anything else.

Good story and fast read
Family values play a major role. Two Greek/American sisters and their choices for partners reflected as a background for the values of a solid Greek family is the focus. The characters were a bit two dimensional and the story a little too trite. However, there was a tension in the plot and it was basically enjoyable.

Circle Of A Top Read
This book was such a surprise, I did not expect to be in the position of not being able to put it down until I finished the last page. Never heard of this new author, I purchased the book with the view it may be a interesting week of reading but you guessed I finished it well into the night. I would love to read more of this family with another book to tell us how Caroline,Michael and Theo's little lad, what was their lives like after the death of his father. A great book.
