A perspective view on the world of Books, Movies and TV
Well this is not exactly the Gal Gadot movie where Whipping golden lasso just brightens the screen. Still Leigh bardugo’s inception of iconic Wonder Woman is amazing. Catch my review of the first book in the DC icon Series
The Last chai is bold and unabashedly so but in while The Last Chai by Varun T. is an amazing thriller and resembles closely to home and its scenario with its name droppings. A fast paced thriller, The Last Chai is a good entertaining read.
The Soldier Prince by Aarti V. Raman couldn’t have come at a better time than this. The whole world is still under the hangover of The Royal wedding and this book can be the perfect cure for all those who still hasn’t got over the royal romance. Catch the review of the book with RWAT
Arc of a Scythe is a good series to invest as both the language and the narration technique keeps it engaging and interesting. If second book, Thunderhead is anything to go by, then i can’t wait for the third book in the series.
Let me admit that the reason why I picked Scythe by Neal Shusterman was the attraction towards its cover and thereon I went on to read the synopsis and it was enough for me to try the book. In general Scythe by Neal Shusterman turned out to be a rewarding experience.
Then The Doorbell Rang by Capri Jalota is an omnibus. You get more than one story with this book and the fact that it holds its own throughout the narration is the best thing about the book. Read on my take on the book
Though I had read his work before this is the first time that I am reading a poetry from his workhouse. Paradigm has a lot to offer and one needs to dedicate earnest time to enjoy the book. Catch our review of Paradigm by Abhijit Haldar
First of all a huge thanks to the author for providing me with the book, Saladin and Silver , The second book in the Saladin series….
The book is like collections of short stories and interestingly these are stories inside another stories which in turn is weaved into an even bigger story. Sounds confusing ? Not at all. In fact this becomes the best part of the book as even without you knowing there are multiple stories linking each other everything seems flowing in a sync
Maybe it was not my cup of tea because for me this was unimpressive, lengthy and boring too. A discovery of witches is twilight for adult audience. So if you want to experience twilight but feel that it may be too kiddish for you to read, then pick up Discovery of Witches because this is everything twilight except that the central characters are all oxford professors.
Your view of mermaid is going to change forever after reading this book which is a noir and in my opinion a creepy stint with mermaids. The book does drag a lot but you can never disagree that the fact that it offers one of the most chilliest reads. Especially if you are listening to its audiobook version like i did.
I guess out is one of such books that you can’t really explain but perhaps need to experience. You have to read the book to go through all the chills and thrills and the weird unforeseen twists that is waiting to blow your mind. It is a book that creeps you, enthral you and keeping you hooked to it till the end
The action between the two lead characters, this is the book where you would find it. The second book is where you will see the romance bloom and struggle.
An ember in the ashes is just not any ember but a flame that has been kept aflame by the creative writing of the author. The book definitely has the heat that makes it a worthy competitor for other paranormal books. It has all the ingredients to make it a perfect companion read.
Did you find the first book captivating? then this would definitely drown you with its intensity. What started with the first book, completely takes on fire by the second book. The Rose Society is completely on a different level than the first book almost to the point that it feels a different world than the first book, Young Elites
If you have loved the Legend series by Marie Lu then there is no way that you should skip the elite series because the series just gets better with each succeeding books. Its rich in plot and characters making it worth the trouble and effort.
Have you ever dealt with a book that you have no clue as to where it is headed? well for me The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue was that kind of book. When i started the book, i had no idea as to where it was headed and what was the whole point of the book until i met the mid of the book .
Four characters, Four background stories and a murder that is tying everything to its core. its perhaps is an example for things getting tightened as it proceeds. One of us is lying really needs your time and patience to sit through the developments. It won’t be a quick read to understand the events and journey leading to the revelation behind the murder that happens in the book

vampire. dystopian. survival struggles. it’s like the book has got the deadliest combination that pulls you in hard. The Immortal Rules Official Synopsis To survive…
For me the book was a disappointment as there was a lot of miss and match and in between trying to behave differently from other young adult paranormal romances but ended up in a bigger chaos for that matter
The series seems like the bottle of wine that just keeps getting better and better as it progresses. If the first book gave you the feeling that it night border into the usual YA books, then wait till you read this book.The series is amazing and a wide variety of reasons make this book a worthy book. It not without a reason that an entire generation and crowd is raving about this book.
A deadly assassin and that too girl. that’s where I sign up so this was a no questions asked pick for me. It has got a good amount of layers to it and I think that’s what makes this book so worth investing.
You can’t fail to notice that the book is yet another scripted teen drama with the popular them “falling for the bad guy” or the YA favourite “Bully turned Lover” Exception only in the fact that this is taking place amidst Faeries and in a Fairie high school.
With all respect to the fans of this series, I don’t think this book was my cup of tea because it was a bit tough for me to cope with the reading of this book.I could only take back bits and parts from the book and that was more than enough for me to decide perhaps this wasn’t the book for me
Are you reading this series ? No ? Then why not?. If Yes, you are reading it then thank god and perhaps you might echo my emotion that this series is amazing. Things take a turn when you least except it. you can never see the things that is being thrown at you. At major points the book, Unravel Me just blows your mind because it brings something to the scene that completely changes the flow and track of the book from where you were anticipating it to go
The book might have the most cooked up ending to it but otherwise it’s a medium level romance without being much mushy and cheesy. In fact even for those who are not much of a romance fan, this can be a try-once book.
The best part of the book, This Is Our Story is till its middle. Till the author squeezes in the cheesy romance angle and dropping the focus and track of the book in an instant. This is is not to say that the book was a complete miss but that it left a feel of incompletness
The book might have been on a completely different level had it incorporated a bit more layer to it. it definitely had a story that was worth investing but i felt half way it lost its charm because of haphhazard flow of the book.
Initially when I was going for the book,Black Bird of the Gallows, I thought it had something new in paranormal to offer. Something different from…
This is my third book from Kasie West and I am starting to see a trend here. Almost all of her books are romance novels but ironically her portrayal of romance is minimal in the sense that she does not hover over “love” and making it all mushy and cheesy.
Swear on This Life definitely goes through a lot of ups and downs and the intensity is pretty high too. I guess in a way the book was able to paint a very natural or captivating story of two people coming together and being in a relationship
As I finished Dont Look Back by Jennifer L. Armentrout, the first thing that came to my mind was that it was definitely a true thriller. The book kept pushing itself into more and more suspense that after a point it was impossible to put down the book.
If you are craving for a good old cinderella fairy tale then look no further as Geekerella by Ashley Poston is a beautiful and the cutest cinderella retellings i have read so far
The book started with all the glitz and glamour that would attract you in an instant.The book was even going smooth till a certain extent but after the initial charm the book just went to drop pretty fast as a wannabe Nancy drew mystery.
The story is so unique and intriguing that it soaks you in and the language and the flow of the book adds to the magic. It is amazing and worth the fun. if you loved six of crows series then you will definitely love this as well
Only when I had read the book, did I see why the book was getting so many rave reviews and why it was getting itself placed firmly on the bookshelves of every avid reader. 10 mins into listening to the book and I was literally in tears. The book is powerful.
The Fragile Thread of Hope by Pankaj Giri – Find out everything about the book and the author that is earning praises upon its release
Only one word comes to my mind when talking about this book. Childish. It was a bit weird as to how the book right away jumped to the action.No easing or introducing to the paranormal factor or the general scenarios of the plot. Simply getting over with the story as quickly as possible
Well i will have to completely agree and appreciate the tagline Sherlock meets Dr.who. It indeed was a meeting of the two and a good one at that. The center character jackaby truly exuded the mannerisms of an young sherlock in a lot of ways and all those supernatural elements simply makes it more exciting and crisp
The plot is definitely cliche but somehow the ending make it worth it because the core mystery was kept so intact and secretively that it alone makes up for whatever negative you may feel about the book. All i say is that it is a quick read.
The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin definitely takes a sharp turn from where the first book ends and in a way i say it perhaps did it for the best because now the series has gone on to become more interesting and exciting.
The book doesn’t open smoothly and takes a while for everything to settle and things to get clear. Luckily you don’t have to wait much. Once the book grabs you, it just keeps the grip on you tighter and tighter. I personally feel that this is one of the best series that you can have in your collection
Remember how i told that i was completely in love with the first book, Guess what. I hate the second book. The second book nearly took me to a delirious stage because i was that angry and red in face. There is no doubt that this series is yet another ambitious twilight project except that instead of vampires this one has werewolves. But let us be honest. Damsel in Distress and Alpha male is passé and not cute anymore
The Lovely Reckless by Kami Garcia is plain old Young Adult Romance formula served in a different plate. The book follows everything that is typical to Young Adult Romances. It is not to say that there is anything bad about the book. Its just that the book can be repetitive if you are an ardent YA romance fan.
Bitten could very well be the twilight for werewolves. The book is about how a girl gets bitten by werewolf and how that drastically changes her life . Of course there is a hottie in middle of that.
Everything about the book is great but i wished that the author had given us more information on the paranormal factor of the book right from the beginning so that we could connect with the book more easily rather than waiting for everything to settle.
All I would say is that the theme and things said and portrayed in the book is fantastic and everyone should give it a try and what you take out of it should be an independent decision.
You have got to love the girl because she has got a mouth and man oh man don’t she know how to use it.I am going to be frank and say that I hadn’t heard about the book before and probably wouldn’t even have tried it. The book was a recommendation from my book god , Crimson and if she recommends I simply go for the book without any questions asked or even reading synopsis. Period.
The List has an extremely powerful message in it if one has the patience to stick around. The pace is not helpful while reading the book because after a certain point it just starts drooping a bit. At times the characters stops making a solid point and each of them just comes on to the screen read their lines and then blurs out. No one and nothing stands out
I initially wanted to tag it as another cotton candy romance, all fluffy, pink and sweet. To my surprise inspite of being all that the book actually had a deeper story to it which totally changed the game for me. Confess by Colleen Hoover has a good flow and a smooth storytelling technique that makes the reading of this book quite enjoyable.
The book is a quick, fun ride and you don’t even have to worry about the books the books that precedes or succeeds this book in the series because it is good as an standalone and doesn’t leave you with major cliffhangers.
Why do you pick a Rick Riordian book? Simple. The humour. Oh yes and to learn about greek gods too. Admit it. The guy just tickles your laughter bone like crazy. The series itself is amazing and a good way for you to get accustomed to all the greek gods and the lores attached with them. Mixed with the author’s humour the book is a crazy riot
I dont think any author would have been so bold and gutzy to attempt such an ending to her most cherished and popular series. For this alone i would absolutely give the author a standing ovation because that was simply brave of her to write such an ending
A retelling of the classic beauty and the beast tale, although nothing like the original classic. But i guess that is the point of these retellings, to be not like the original.The book takes a while to settle down and you need to wait till then to ease yourself to the story. In a way i would still say that the plots lay unhinged and raw at certain areas
This is the most creepiest and uncomfortable book that i have ever read in my life. Well of course i have read stories that have been uncomfortable and harsh but then those don’t make you rub yourself with fire because somewhere beneath you see a good spark in all those creepy or hard hitting plot. For this book , it was dirt beneath dirt and making it even more worse
The book is a good breather book. Which is my definition of light and easy reads that don’t need you to think hard, analyze or de-analyze the plots. It is a harmless, cute romance best for a brunch read or if you adore romance at its most innocent form
An extraordinary heroine makes this book absolutely worth reading. The language and narration technique is a bit different and definitely requires a bit of effort to get used to. Once in, then you are for a treat. Although the footnotes can be a bit sneaky devil, distracting you from the main book.
