Racy Thriller, ToThe Point (Book Review)

Book: The Stalker

Author: Sandeep Sharma

Publication: Redgrab Books & Anybook

Thriller and suspense are fun-reads, isn’t it? It makes you think and keeps you guessing who the culprit is. It compels you to analyse the hints and find out the culprit even before the author breaks it to you in the book. Well, I had a similar experience with The Stalker authored by Sandeep Sharma.

The plot revolves around Randhir Kamat, a well-known name in the entertainment industry. He is being stalked by a woman named Deepali on social media that puts him and his company in the limelight. He decides to use this event to his benefit, which worked well, almost.

He assumes events are in control but suddenly he is dragged into bigger pit that puts lives of his and his girlfriend’s at risk. Turns out it is not (just) Deepali, but more people involved who have sworn to pull him down.

Does Randhir manages to come out clean or there’s more secrets that surface from his past, you will have to read the story to find out.

The story fast-paced, short and doesn’t really drags at any point. Characters are well-defined and story is to the point.

My ratings: 3 out of 5.

I received a review copy of the book in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.

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...
