** OFFICAL WRITER"S LEAGUE**

The circle series put out by OWL will set the bar for series to come in urban fiction. For the authors to come together to execute this series and consistently provide the reader with intense action and drama through all five (the intro included) of the books is amazing. The first four books were written by literally vets; this author, Ty Marshall, is a "newbie" to most of us but he came in and was sure to make a name for himself. I am so please with this book. I could literally see the events taking place. The references from the preceding books helped to tie it all together, down to the exact dialogue attached to a new pov.

I am eagerly anticipating The Circle: the Reunion and can not wait to see who will pen it.

Great job OWL!

AmazingI just finished reading The Circle: Dayvid's Story by Ty Marshall. This book is a amazing and interesting read. I like the concept and vibe in this book. It's well written and composed.

I wouldn't say too much in this book cause I don't want to spoiled to other readers. This book is about Dayvid.

Ty Marshall did a good job. He takes his time to writing this book. I give five stars to this book and author. I'm looking forward to read another book from this author. I'm looking forward to read the Circle: The Reunion.

Good job!

This book was the ish. It was drama from the beginning. I love how Dayvid had that never give up attitude. These Porters never believe in giving up on family they do what they gave to do to see them through. I really like this book. Ty Marshall you did your damn thing. I can't wait to see what happens later on because it can't end like this. 5 star banger for real. You will not be disappointed at all.

This is edge of your seat urban lit

My goodness, my nerves are so bad after reading this book. Definitely full of drama and suspense. This is my second read by this author and assuredly not my last. Hope to get more of the King. Loved the scriptural references as it was applicable per chapter. If you want action, this is it....nail-biting action.

The ending left me speechless!! I can't believe he had to leave Nova. So many twists in this story it's so entertaining!! I can wait for the reunion to come out. I have a feeling the Porte family will come out on top!!

Dayvid was by far the best book out of all books of the circle. I know another book should follow to finish up this story. I hope dayvid can save Nova from the Fed's. Ty you did an excellent job.

Great story but too many errors. The ups & downs Dayvid went through would have killed anybody. But he held on.

Listen… from the first sentence Ty grabs a hold of you and refuses to let go until the very end. This was a love story, and I’m standing ten toes down on that. The way he and Nova loved each other made my heart smile. Everything he had to go through with and without her was a ride you had to hold on tight for.

Saint tried it 🙄.

Droop should have known that Tajhi… well, never mind. Just read the book 😂.

Pharaoh… I bet you believe in ghost now, huh? 🤷🏾‍♀️

That ending 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

Man listen, who gonna write the next one because I need to know what happened!

This was a gripping story that made your adrenaline rush. Dayvid Porter was the man! And Nova made the perfect queen.

A must read for sure.

How Excellent....

Nice to meet you, Mr. Marshall, in your body of work.
This story really did justice to all of the characters within "The Circle. " I really enjoyed the Bible quotes at the beginning of each chapter as they gave a dual meaning to the prophetic words in relation to the story. Two sides of the same coin is what's coming up for me. I TRULY enjoyed READING every word as I am normally an avid Audible listener, but to my surprise, reading it for myself invoked the same feelings of anticipation as ALL of the articulate narrators within the Buck 50 franchise. I can't wait to hear more stories from this author.

I had to talk the library in my city to purchase this book, the actual printed copy of King Dayvid and I gotta say: I liked this book more than I did the first four because I wanted Dayvid to overcome what he was facing and get to his siblings in the worst way.
I'm so glad that the library bought this book at my request and I was able to get into it but wished that it was on audible though!
I'm starting to get into other Ty Marshall work too.

This series was awesome! Each book kept me on the edge of my seat waiting to see how it all worked out. I found it interesting that I loved the bad guys.

I am disappointed though that this is the last book in the series. Seriously, how can you end a series this way??? Someone please tell me I am missing something. I need another book!

This will keep you on edge

You must read the The Circle series first or you will be lost. The Porters are ruthless. But the cliff hanger of King Dayvid the circle will keep you wanting more. I truly hope there is another book after this. Ty Marshall good job!

A Long Time Coming

I have been waiting on this book. I enjoyed the small recaps from the other books. Can't wait until the next one. I'm hoping there's another one with the way this ended. This could have gotten five stars, but there were a few grammatical errors.
