The View 2: Secrets, Lies, & Betrayal by the Untamed is a story about secrets, lies and betrayal. It is the second book in the View series.

Really appreciate author’s storytelling skills. The characters are well developed and the narration is clear and smooth. This is the first book that I have read from the author but I am definitely looking forward to read many more books written by her.

At the end of the book, one can enjoy poetry also. The story has mature content so this book is recommended for adults only. Writing style of the author is impressive.

Although this is a second part of the series but even if you read it as a standalone, you will be easily able to follow the story. Really excited to read The View 3: Reclamations.

Book: Becoming Buddha

Author: Corey Croft

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4/5

When I picked this book, I thought this is a self help book that will help us to transform ourselves through the Buddhist values. But there is much more for us in this book. This is the story narrated by an anonymous narrator (which might be the author) who is living a painfully average life. But his best friend Alex believes in his capabilities. Alex is cool, mysterious, attractive and an average personality person. He loves his best friend a lot and he knows that narrator has capability to do much more.

Alex’s friendship with the narrator is different. Author has explored the philosophy of life and brought it to the readers.

The narrative is slow but clear. The story is full of dark humor with characters trapped in a lie circle. The title of the story is nice but the cover page of the book looks really simple.

This is an insightful novel that I recommend it to literary fiction and self-help readers. This is the first novel that I have read from the author. Will read more work of the author.

Book: The Call of Eternity

Author: E A Carter

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

The Call of Eternity by the author E A Carter is Book 2 in Transcendence Series. It is the sequel of ‘The Lost Valor of Love’. Istara and Urhi-Teshub had tied their sacred bond at the Temple of Arinna. But Istara (Urhi-Teshub’s wife) is not in Tarhuntassa now, she was taken to Egypt.

All Urhi Teshub want is his throne and his wife back at his side. He went so close to get his wife back from Egyptian but after hearing about his father’s illness, he had to return to Tarhuntassa otherwise his uncle would claim the throne. The message that Urhi-Teshub received from his uncle about his father’s illness was actually from his father. If his father would have sent the message by his name then it surely wouldn’t have reached Urhi-Teshub.

Before his death, King of Hatti or father of Urhi-Teshub gave him ‘The Ring of King of Hatti’. No matter how worse Muwatallis was his entire life but before his death, he became softer, at least for his son. He want his son to be the King of Hatti. So, he outwitted his cruel brother and guided Urhi-Teshub. Read the story further to unveil the suspense yourself.

Here you will read not only about the Mortal Realm but also about Under Realm and the Immortal Realm.

In this part also, I am much impressed by the extensive research of the author. The writing I must say is complex across the entire series but the story is intense. The descriptions ran so strong in my mind that I felt like witnessing these events happening in front of me.

This book is not meant to be read as a standalone. Since the events and Characters of first book continued in this one, so you wouldn’t be easily able to follow up the story if you just pick the standalone. I recommend this book to be read as a series, all books in order.

Curious to read the third part ‘The Rise of the Goddess’.
