Later Garima fell in love with Manav. Does Manav have feelings for her or he is playing with her feelings? Undoubtedly her life turned into a nightmare as ofcourse he was not at all serious in a relationship.

The private video which must be stay only between them was leaked by him. It’s really sad to see that she was going through a lot already and soon society started to blame her for everything. Trust which she did on him has been broken down so easily.

While reading the book one can definitely feel the pain of her, hats off to the author for talking about such situation which is very common now-a-days! The narration is indeed strong and the chapters name is unique in it’s own way!

Read out this book to find out what Garima did later on, what step or decision she took and how she able to tackle the problem? Overall I must say this book will definitely inspire many ladies or girls to be strong and motivate them to take a positive step.

Rating: 4.5/5

I love reading Short Stories. Stranger Things Have Happened is a collection of Short Stories written by the author Thomas Gaffney.

My favourite is Fraxinus. It’s a story about a tree. It was an ash tree, ancient by all standards of measuring time. It is the second day of true Autumn when a leaf changed its color and fell on the ground. The group of women along with the village Queen gathered in front of the weird tree. Queen’s advisor Margaret has a daughter named Amy Curtis. When she fell, the tree roots wrapped themselves around her. Isn’t it scary? Grab a copy of this book to know the story further.

Author has done amazing job in his debut novel. World building is amazing. I am much impressed with the writing style of the author. The stories are intense and you couldn’t move until you finish them.

This is an amazing short story book and I am looking forward to read more books by the author in future. It was a short and quick read so I was able to finish it in a single sitting.

Stranger Things Have Happened

Book: Heirs Apparent

Author: Thomas J. Thorson

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

The plot of the Heirs Apparent made me to pick this book. A Malcom Winters Story is intriguing and attention grabbing.

Book Summary:
Starting with only a cryptic message about an event from a century ago, written in the blood of the woman he loved, Malcom Winters races around Chicago piecing together increasingly baffling parts of the puzzle in an effort to solve the crime and gain his vengeance. Together with the help of a brilliant and beautiful science professor, a gruff chef who claims to be in witness protection for trying to assassinate Fidel Castro, and a cross-dressing businessman, he uncovers a bizarre murder spree and draws the attention of the killer to himself and those few people he holds dear.

My Review:

1) Cover page of the book is simple.
2) Plot is interesting and has the power to hold you till the last page.
3) Murder mysteries are my favorite so I can put my brain to think what must have happened, who must be behind this. It’s great mystery book.
4) I found the language a bit complex. I have to re-read some parts. But once I got the grip, story went smooth.
5) Characters are well developed.

Strongly recommended to others especially the regular readers who love thriller, mystery, suspense novels. A good book to add to your TBR list.

Book: Pokhran

Author: Uday Singh

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

I have picked up the book “Pokhran” by author Uday Singh. The story talks about the nuclear test, Smiling Buddha that happened in Pokhran in Year 1974.

And because of the fallout of the nuclear test, a lot of people suffered. But no one wants to talk about it and prefer to stay quiet. The media does not want to talk about the issue, the politics come into play too. The voice of common people is unheard.

The character of Chaitanya who had physical disabilities is very well developed in the story. Without a doubt he is inspiration for all and is courageous. The author have talked about various topics like racism, religion, democracy etc.

In this book you will read about the other social issues faced by India. This book is Priceless as it gives you a lot more knowledge, I just hooked into it and cannot keep the book down. The author have done a commendable job in writing it down.

This book is full of information, facts and knowledge. Go for it and thank me later 😉
