So anyone who visits here regularly will know that The Joker is my own book, and I’m sure you’re wondering why I would review my own book – the answer is of course that I wouldn’t. I have added some reviews from a couple of other bloggers so you can get a feel for what the book is like.
What the book is about:
When Kayleigh and her friends do a Ouija board one drunken night, they have no idea the horror they are inviting into their lives. When two of her best friends die in mysterious circumstances, and her boyfriend becomes possessed by a seductive demon, Kayleigh starts seeking answers.
What she learns fills her with dread, and after finding little help from a local priest, she takes matters into her own hands.
Kayleigh must choose between love and morality or power and her deepest desires in this twisted tale that shows that sometimes, the unknown is best left unknown…
Michelle from Rockin’ Random Mom said the following:
There is so much more to the story though than just a demon possessing people. This is what I love about Debbie’s writing. You think you know what’s going to happen, then bam! A new twist is just right around the corner. The overall theme isn’t about the demon but about the darkness the main character is forced to face within herself. How does that play out? Well, you will have to read it to find out.

Wendy from Naptime Natters said the following:
The Joker is written from Kayleigh’s perspective and Debbie has cleverly created a character here who is perhaps not as sweet and perfect as she may seem. As Scurra forces himself more and more into Kayleigh’s life, the reader is taken on a crazy journey through fear, determination, desperation and sexual desire. I must admit, I was very shocked by the sex scenes in this book. There were times where I was convinced this book was better suited for the young adult genre but then – BAM – I found myself reading a sex scene so explicit even E L James would be blushing. I quickly changed my opinion and realised this is very much a book for the grown ups. These chapters are not there just for the fun of it though, they play a very important part to the story as a whole.
