Modern-Day Fairy Tale (Book Review)


Book: The Bodyguard (Kindle edition)

Author: Ruchi Singh

Sold by: Amazon Asia-Pacific Holdings Private Limited

The Bodyguard is a modern-day fairy tale which has a good blend of suspense and romance. The plot though not very unusual is that of a rich and handsome guy falling for a not-so-rich and strong girl. What adds to this simple plot is the suspense that starts building right from the beginning.



Former army personnel Esha Sinha is appointed as bodyguard to the millionaire Vikramaditya Seth Jr.  They are both young and attracted to each other so no brownies for guessing the sizzling chemistry between the two. Seth Jr. needs security to as there is/are assassin(s) putting their soul and heart to kill him. Why? That’s the suspense and you definitely need to swipe the pages on Kindle book to know that.

While the romance element, nothing unusual could be interesting to read, the suspense and thrill that ropes all the characters under scanner.      

The plot has been nicely carved by the author Ruchi Singh and she successfully builds up each character as much as the suspense.  

Overall, The Bodyguard is an interesting read as it captures your interest with a good mix of plot, characters and the flow of the story.

Last but not the least, the cover image of the e-book is quite interesting, it screams for attention, won’t you agree?

My Rating: 4 stars

A Soul Stirring Journey! (Book Review)

Image Source   Book: The Seeker Author: Karan Bajaj The climax of the book is just unexpected. Well that's not how you would expect me to begin a review, but it's simply not what I had anticipated. In fact with the twists and turns I actually had no idea how the book will end. Had completely given up all my presumptions. I'll be honest, first few pages were a little boring for me. Perhaps, because the beginning is slow or maybe because I thought this packing your stuff and going away is a 'very guy' thing. Alright, the fact is I was jealous of Max, that  he could just walk away from his corporate life towards a different life...... However, I continued to read; I was curious to know   how far does Max go in order to reach that state where he feels detached from the world yet one with every tiny bit of the universe. And boy what a journey that was! I enjoyed it :)

The Drowning: Dark and Distrubing

The Drowning , authored by Nidhi Upadhyay published by Penguin Random House , is a dark psychological thriller that subverts expectations.  What starts as a seemingly straightforward story soon spirals into something far more sinister—so dark that it may not be for the faint-hearted. The story follows Viji, a grieving mother who loses her twins under mysterious circumstances. As she desperately searches for answers, she finds herself accused of causing the death of her friend’s toddler.  Enter Inspector Kanika, the determined protagonist, who is not only investigating the case but also grappling with her own personal loss after losing her unborn.  As the investigation unfolds, what seemed like a tragic accident takes a chilling turn, leading to an unexpected and unsettling conclusion.

A Gripping Mystery That Doesn't Fool Around (Book Review)

Image Source Book : Fool Me Once Author :  Harlan Coben   Publisher : Random House If I have to sum up the story, I would say it in a phrase (from a Bollywood song), 'shikari khud yahan shikar ho gaya'. I had lost the number of count I encountered twists in this tale.  The story begins with the funeral of the protagonist Maya's husband, who was (or is) a rich businessman and one of the heirs to a wealthy and affluent family. His murder, witnessed by Maya alone, is supposedly an unthought-of act by random robbers; however we know that there has to be something more to this death (and the story). It’s all going fine, when one day Maya sees her dead husband in her house, with her daughter in the nanny cam. Now this gets her started (and me too) in search of the truth. In the process we come across plenty of elements that may not be connected to the murder mystery - family secrets, business secrets and Maya's past to name a few. Did I mention that abou...
