My Thoughts:

     The plot of the story is amazing. The plot would keep the readers to know what is happening in the coming pages. I would definitely say that this is a page turner. The story has everything for the readers thrill, humour and tasks which will give the readers a feel that a complete movie is playing in front of their eyes. The story is fast paced but justifies the whole scenario in the book.
     The characters are very much real. While reading the book the readers might encounter a few characters that they might relate to.
     Loved the writing style of the author. The story is written in a simple and lucid language. The writing style of the author is very engaging and will keep the readers on the edge throughout the book.
     Overall, I loved the book and would surely recommend it to all the readers. Looking forward to read more books from the author.

My Rating: 5/5

Dancers in the Dark Author: Ejaz Ahamed Pages: 298               After reading this book, the very first thing that came to my mind was, ‘Is there humanity?’ If yes what is humanity? This was a very emotional read for me. The story revolves around Kalki, her brother Karthi, and Shreyas whom we will meet later in the story.
