5 stars for Center Stage: A Political Thriller by @WayneAvrashow #thriller #bookreview #newrelease



Title: Center Stage: A Political Thriller

Author: Wayne Avrashow

Genre: Political Thriller


Book Blurb:


If politics is a game, who better to play it than a master showman like a mega-rock star? America has adored rock star Tyler Sloan for decades, and when he decides to leave the Las Vegas stage to run for a seat on the United States Senate, it’s assumed that he’ll run an unconventional campaign. He exceeds expectations—and more. No stranger to politics, Sloan’s estranged father was a California governor who narrowly lost his presidential campaign. It’s this experience—and his performance skills—that render a show-stopping performance as an independent candidate for Senate. He expresses disdain for the two-party system and dismisses special interests and lobbyists. Sloan immediately finds himself caught in a political campaign fraught with scandal, corruption, and conflicting loyalties personally, politically, and romantically. Will Sloan be able to handle political turbulence and reckon with his own past while navigating the polls? As the countdown to election day begins, Tyler Sloan is focused on winning and taking center stage.


My Review:


Election junkies rejoice, Center Stage is a thrill ride of election drama from start to finish. Ever wonder what it is like deep inside a race for the US Senate? Center Stage will fill that void for you. A lot of this riveting book comes fresh out of the headlines. If you weren't certain this was about a fictional race for a Senate seat in Nevada, you might think this was about Georgia in 2020/2021.


Tyler Sloan is a powerful lead character and the portrayal does make one stop and wonder if personality and fame enough to overcome steadfast standing on issues? It appears real life has made this fiction very realistic. Anyone who questions whether being a US Senator isn't simply a question of cash should read this book.


Brilliantly using poll numbers to introduce almost every chapter of this book, keeps the reader hooked. Fast-paced, full of intricate conflict, Center Stage is a political thriller. Worthy of a read for anyone who was captivated by any part of the last election cycle. Center Stage will both take you in and keep you out of real life. A solid read that could be well received by any reader.


My Rating: 5 stars
