🔖Book Cover

It looks like a girl is running for her life. Running away from all the problems that are after her. Before it starts engulfing her, she try to save herself from it.

🔖Plot

The thief is unstoppable. It seems to me that he’s invisible! How can he keep robbing in broad daylight, and still not leave a clue? No wonder the police are going around in circles and not getting anywhere. The worst part is, I’ve become the target now! Off late, I’ve been getting into “accidents” that I can’t explain. I know my life is in on the line but who will believe me? I have no evidence to prove it! Thank God, my best friends, Jai and Nirvaan, are by my side. We have to find a way to get out of this trouble. I just hope we’re not too late!

The blurb itself is eerily disturbing and frightening. Its the first book i'm reading of her and I literally got the feeling that I'm reading some Agatha Christie or Nancy Drew book. In other news, I haven't read the prequel part yet. But, it doesn't make a difference. I really love reading the book. Richa has done a fabulous work in writing this!

🔖Review

The story is about a girl named Ayesha. A robbery takes place in her neighborhood and engulfs her into a life threatening chase. This incident changes the story completely and excites the climax and her friends Jai and Nirvaan and sub characters represents the story in really good manner.

1. Plot line is unique with realistic thriller and mystery. It was indeed an exciting feeling to read chasing scenes, how they plan the things, specially Ayesha's character, it was mind numbing. Her feelings, thoughts can be felt in real while reading the story, her scene of witnessing a crime scene was fabulously written. 

 2. Every character got its own importance and none were given a backseat. That team work made them achieve the goal. 

3. Smooth and engrossing narration. Lucid language with sufficient vocabulary. Racy thriller fiction.

Book Title - 4/5
Book Cover - 4/5
Plot - 3/5
Characters - 4/5
Narration - 3.5/5
Language and Grammar - 4/5
Final Rating - 4/5

Monsoon Cravings ~ Rain Special Blog #BirthdayBlogTrain

Monsoon is one such season which is loved by everyone. Fresh air, breezy days, cloudy skies and muddy aroma. And as the dark clouds roll in, we got some enormous cravings as well. So, lets relish some delicious delicacies from kitchens across the country which are loved by everyone... Kachori-Jalebi Deep-fried, carbs...the kachori and jalebi are guilty on all counts. The kachori filling varies - onion, green peas, a spicy lentil or potato mix are some favourites in North India. And the jalebi - a fried syrupy snack - hot and crispy from kadhai, is a perfect ending to kachori indulgence. Bhutta   Monsoons are incomplete without getting caught in the rain and relishing some charcoal roasted bhutta with a drizzle of salt and lime. The crunch of that will make the perfect and comfortable setting on windy and rainy days. Garam adrak chai Nothing is more typically monsoon than rain soaked hair and kadak chai w
