                ‘The Chimera Retribution’ by Abhinav Singh is a book that revolves around Vishakha Dutta. The book begins with a man coming in Daniel’s office and demanding something to which Daniel says that he doesn’t have what he is looking for.

Next we move on to Vishakha who is continuously told by her uncle to join Dr. Chandrakumar in this project but she is not so interested to join him.

What does the doctor mean by Vishakha’s life is more precious and she has to find the truth? What is this truth about? To know more read ‘The Chimera Retribution’.

My Thoughts:

The plot is well developed wherein the readers will find a plot twist on each page. The suspense is maintained nicely throughout the book and will keep the readers on edge throughout the book.

The characters are well developed especially Vishakha who is brave and even while stuck in a bigger problem she tries to help the doctor. There were too many characters and it can get confusing for some apart from that they are well developed and will surely keep the readers engaged throughout this adventurous journey of Vishakha in the quest of truth.  

Language is simple and lucid. The narration is excellent and the pace of the story is perfect it will keep the engaged and curious to know what is going to happen next.

The book cover is done amazingly with a mysterious creature. The title of the book is also apt to the plot.

Overall, I liked reading the book and I would definitely suggest this book to all those who love reading adventurous, mysterious books.

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. Karthi is a seven-year-old who is suffering from a skin condition that makes her skin dark compared to other dark people. People are constantly making fun of her calling her a ‘darkie’ and some even call her ‘ugly’. This has affected the poor girl to a very great extent to the point that instead of playing and having fun she is constantly thinking about how she can turn her skin fair.
