Review:

First few pages gave me the feel of a simple story. Gradually the action started building up, suspense and thrill started creeping and then it was hell of a ride.

Some characters at first seemed unnecessary but later their significance dawned in. Each character has been deftly dealt with but again every character had their own secrets which are only revealed at the end.

Reeva and Kunaal’s chemistry was sizzling, gave me goosebumps whenever they shared screen space. I want to know more about what happened next with them, that’s a cliffhanger that’s killing me, please write a novella on them, Ms. Datta.

The atmosphere buildup, the contemporary political scenario, is bang-on. The dirty games played to gain power, how honesty has to constantly fight an unfair war to survive in a corrupt world has been very aptly depicted.

There were so many twists and turns, no scope of predicting what is going to happen but there was a hint of sinister side of Kunaal evident throughout the story though the climax revelation was unprecedented.

This book, as a debut, is A-mazing!

Rating: 4/5
