The Devil's Pawn

by M.J. Macie

THE DEVIL'S PAWN A Novelist discovers that a stranger who has learned her secret is stalking her. A journalist plans to destroy a man's life to find his own in danger. A coed waits in a seedy motel room fearing for her life, while a language professor fights to keep her sanity. What do these four people have in common? Each is a pawn in an egotistical killer's game. Robin Wilder struggles to heal from a tragedy that traumatized her life and compelled her to flee her hometown. She settles in the quaint town of Heritage, South Carolina, and spends the next four years living the pretense of an ordinary life as a novelist and creative writing instructor. However, Robin's façade unravels when someone murders her fiancé then begins threatening her life. After a student's warning leads to the young woman's murder, Robin realizes she must confront her past and find the k8iller before she, or someone else she cares about, becomes the next victim.

I truly honestly loved this book.. In the beginning it was a little hard to follow. I had to learn about a lot of people. I wish I would have taken notes on who was who I probably would have followed the book a lot better. But after a while I got use to who was who and who did what then I started enjoying the book.. I still had a hard time putting this book down but I had to because I have 3 babies I have to take care of. M.J.Macie did a wonderful job writing this novel and it had the perfect ending. There was even a bit of romance to it. I think this would be a good book for anyone looking for something new to read. I felt like I was part of the book. I have only read two of M.J.Macie’s books and can’t wait to start her third one. I will start the Palmetto Connection tonight .

This was the first novel I'd written and I really enjoyed the entire writing process. I grew to love these characters and others have said the characters made an impact on their hearts as well.
