Book: Parker Strip

Author: Jeff Osterhage

Available On: Amazon

Language: English

Rating: 4️⃣/5️⃣

Parker Strip by Jeff Osterhage is a suspense thriller. It took me some time to understand the base of the story and I have to re-read few parts for better understanding. But once I understand the base then the story went smooth.

The story starts with Jay Fallbrook dying after an arrow hit hard in his chest. La Paz County Sheriff Jimmy took this case. After looking at murder weapon, he though that Sonoran Mafia is back on the warpath. The rest of the story involves investigation and FBI’s actions.

The pace of the story is slow in the beginning but it picks up pace after few chapters. Parker Strip is a story that is inspired by true events and is thought provoking. There are so many characters in the story to keep track of. The length of the book is little stretched and certain descriptions could have been shorter. Please be advised that the book contains mature content and is suitable for adult audience. Overall it was a nice read that I like to recommend to my fellow readers.

Crown of Crowns is a story that is a blend of multiple genres: Romance, YA, Fantasy, etc. The protagonists of the story are a noblewoman Kaelyn and a commoner Roki. Kaelyn, a noblewoman was too much under the shields of her parents. She has never seen the outer world. When she insisted again and again to Roki, one day he took her to the market.

Kaelyn was so much fascinated to see everything. She hasn’t even seen people selling fruits or fish in the market yet. She was attracted to Roki because of his vast knowledge and his Intelligence. As they both fell in love, Kaelyn’s parents found out about their meetings and forced Kaelyn to stay away from him. Will they be able to meet again or fate has something else planned for them?

The story is written well and right from the first page it intrigued me. I have read some stories based on the love between a princess and a common man but this one is different and I liked it.

Really excited to read the second book Godly Sins in the Crown of Crowns Series.

Book: Me Ki Gai: A Young Man’s Journey discovering his Ikigai, Love, Happiness and Riches

Author: Atul Khekade

Language: English

Rating: 4.5/5

I am absolutely glad that I have picked up the book ‘Me Ki Gai: A Young Man’s Journey discovering his Ikigai, Love, Happiness and Riches’ by Atul Khekade and without a doubt it is definitely worth reading! Have to say author have done commendable job in writing it down so beautifully.

The story revolves around Parth who is not at all satisfied with the job he was doing and moreover was not getting the attention of the crush. As a result he decided to take a harsh step of committing a suicide but Prabhudas in a form of savior helped him and showed him the right path to be a successful person.

The confidence he got from him which was really needed at that time is just remarkable, he helped him to find and realise his purpose of living. The book is all about to make you feel that everyone have different talent, capabilities and one should follow the passion. Work smart and hard to make people pay happily for your work or services.

While reading I can totally relate to the Parth character. It’s really important to do something you love and good at. Thank you for giving such a brilliant message through the story. Well done, thoroughly enjoyed..

Life Crude

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.
