My thoughts:

 The story is short and really engaging. I liked how the plot is to the point and each page has a plot twist.

The characters are well developed and I really liked how  Rhea after getting herself into this mysterious situation wants to know what exactly has happened in the past and get to the core of the main events.

The langauge is simple and lucid. The narration was well done and I must say that people who want to dive into horror genre  can surely start from this book.

The book cover is interesting and gives us the horror/haunted feeling right away. The title of the book is also apt to the plot.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book and would surely recommend it to all.

Rating: 4/5

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’.

However, one guilt is still constantly peeking its head out from time to time for Karthi. Karthi was once le...
