Book Information 

Five stories – Five Lives
Have you ever felt confused or at a loss for words in front of a spouse, colleague or parent, to the extent that you have felt inadequate or, worse, a failure? Do you ever wonder why someone close to you seems to endure humiliation without resistance?

Manipulators are everywhere. At first these devious and calculating people can be hard to spot, because that is their way. They are often masters of disguise: witty, disarming, even charming in public – tricks to snare their prey – but then they revert to their true self of being controlling and angry in private. Their main aim: to dominate and use others to satisfy their needs, with a complete lack of compassion and empathy for their victim. 

In this collection of short novellas, you meet people like you and me, intent on living happy lives, yet each of them, in one way or another, is caught up and damaged by a manipulative individual. First you meet Tess, whose past is haunted by a wrong decision, then young, successful and well balanced Sophie, who is drawn into the life of a little boy and his troubled father. Next, there is teenage Holly, who is intent on making a better life for herself, followed by a manipulator himself, trying to make sense of his irreversible incarceration. Lastly, there is Lisa, who has to face a parent’s biggest regret. All stories highlight to what extent abusive manipulation can distort lives and threaten our very feeling of self-worth.

My Review

4☆ Fabulous Collection of Novellas

 Manipulated Lives is a collection of five short stories. All very different but have one thing on common Manipulation and how it effects us.

The five Stories are
- Tess and Tatoos
-The Spell
-Runaway Girl
- The Narcissist
-The Perfect Child

Each story is so cleverly written and really delves into how far people will go to manipulate others and how much it changes people.

Manipulation is a form of abuse no matter how vulnerable or strong you are anyone is open to be Manipulated.

The stories are somewhat dark, gritty, gripping and unsettleling as you don't realise how sinister people can be.

I thoroughly enjoyed all of the short stories Leuschel has created five fabulous stories which you can tell alot of research and thought has been put into them.

I applaud Leuschel for tackling Manipulation and abuse, it's not an easy topic but it's one that needs to have the public knowledge.

If you enjoy short well written stories that pack a punch and get you thinking. You enjoy reading psychology books. Then you will really enjoy this collection of novellas.
