Engrossing tale of rebirths and past lives

In the times of sequels and series, ‘The Sorcery of Senses’ authored by ‘Tanima Das’ offers 3 stories in one book. On a serious note, I am certain there will be a sequel to this book (and I am quite excited about it).

While the author narrates three completely different stories, they are connected by one link. Thumbs up for the idea and concept!

Tanima has picked the theme of re-birth for her debut book. The plot is about the protagonist Dhruv who revisits his past lives with the help of three senses (vision, touch and smell). After that, he realizes his life's purpose.

The story is well thought out and well narrated. The writing is quite detailed and engrossing. In the stories of Dhruv's past lives, he lives in different eras and regions. Tanima’s style of selecting the names of those characters, their backstories, emotions and reasonings are very human and relatable. Other characters are also well-defined. Kolkatta's description in the story is vivid. The language is easy to understand.

Overall, it is a fascinating read. Unputtdownable!

Of Romance And Suspense (Book Review)

Image Credit Book: The Royal Roommate (Kindle edition) Author: PG Van Life is unpredictable. We plan many things but not everything happens as planned. Infact, most of the times life has surprises in store for us. The key is to play along and play it well. This is what you will find the protagonist -Amy doing in this book. Accepting the twists and turns life throws at her and running along with the stride. This the first book of PG Van that I have had a chance to read, and hence I didn’t have any set expectations. Good! The story is about Amy, a young intern with a law firm (oh that just doesn’t matter).

There begins a love and hate – push and pull kind of chemistry between the two. Needless to mention, lust and love (in that order) blooms in the room. Interestingly, Sid is a spy and Amy is his suspect. However, from suspe...
