My Thoughts:

                The plot is excellently written. I really liked the writing style of the author and the fact that the author has kept the readers guessing what or who must committed this crime. There are times when the readers will actually be disturbed with some scenes. Through this story author has touched some very sensitive issues and how these affect a person adversely throughout his/her life.

                Characters are well developed and each of them has faced problems in their life and they are trying to cope up with it in their own way. I really liked Rimi’s character a lot she is really a strong girl and had to go through a situation which she overcomes at such a young age all by herself. It was really scary and I was somewhat creeped out after reading Nivas’s character. All the other characters were also well developed and all had a very important role to play in the story.

               Language is simple and lucid. The narration is done excellently and will make the readers more involved in the story. The book cover and the title of the book is apt to the plot.

                Overall, this book is a perfect blend of romance, mystery and thriller which will blow readers mind and I would surely recommend this book to all.

Rating: 5/5
