Driven by Desire by Shilpa Suraj
Reading Time: 2 minutes
The book was hilarious . well what do you expect from a book where the characters are falling from sky. Like literally. You open the book to its first chapter and first paragraph literally see the characters falling from sky or falling to the ground. If that is not an interesting opening to a book then i don’t know what is. I loved Driven by Desire. It was cute. it was fun and it was adorable
Crazy For Alice by Alex Dunn
Reading Time: 3 minutes
I got this book through my newly revived net galley account and this was the first book i had landed on. I am still not sure as to what attracted me to the book. Perhaps my reason behind picking the book, Crazy for Alice lies somewhere between the impact of the cover and the name or perhaps the synopsis. But what ever the reason was, i loved this book. Scratch that. I lived this book yes LIVED.. it was that alluring
Always and Forever Lara Jean (To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before #3) by Jenny Han
Reading Time: 3 minutes
Can you get overdosed on sugar? i guess you can. As you must be aware, Always and Forever Lara Jean is the third book in the series and i have been reading the whole series in one go so by the third book i guess i am kind of sugar overdosed and throwing rainbows and unicorns around. But Jokes apart the book is sweet and cute and perfect for a light summer romance read
Book Review : Wonder Woman: Warbringer (DC Icons #1) by Leigh Bardugo
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review : Then The Doorbell Rang by Capri Jalota
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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

Undelivered Letters by J. Alchem
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review : A Discovery of Witches (All Souls Trilogy #1) by Deborah Harkness
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review : Into the Drowning Deep by Mira Grant (Rolling in the Deep #1)
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review: Out by Natsuo Kirino, Stephen Snyder (Translator)
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review : A Torch Against the Night (Ember Quartet #2) by Sabaa Tahir
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review : An Ember in the Ashes (Ember Quartet #1) by Sabaa Tahir
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review : The Rose Society (The Young Elites #2) by Marie Lu
Reading Time: 2 minutes
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
Book Review : The Young Elites (The Young Elites #1) by Marie Lu
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review : The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue (Guide #1) by Mackenzi Lee
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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 .
Book Review : One of Us Is Lying by Karen M. McManus
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review: Let the Sky Fall (Sky Fall #1) by Shannon Messenger
Reading Time: 2 minutes
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

Book Review: The Vanishing Girl by Laura Thalassa (The Vanishing Girl #1)
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review: Jackaby by William Ritter (Jackaby #1)
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review: The Girl in the Picture by Alexandra Monir
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review: The Evolution of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (Mara Dyer #2)
Reading Time: 2 minutes
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.
Book Review: Shy by Noelle Marie (Once Bitten, Twice Shy #2)
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review : The Lovely Reckless by Kami Garcia
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review: Bitten by Noelle Marie (Once Bitten, Twice Shy #1)
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review :The Unbecoming of Mara Dyer by Michelle Hodkin (Mara Dyer #1)
Reading Time: 2 minutes
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.

Book Review : Thirteen Reasons Why by Jay Asher
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review: Trickery by Jaymin Eve (Curse of the Gods #1)
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review: The List by Siobhan Vivian
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review: Confess by Colleen Hoover
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review: Kill Alex Cross by James Patterson (Alex Cross #18)
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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.
Book Review: The Hidden Oracle by Rick Riordan (The Trials of Apollo #1)
Reading Time: 2 minutes
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
Book Review: Allegiant by Veronica Roth (Divergent #3)
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review: Of Beast and Beauty by Stacey Jay
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review: All the Ugly and Wonderful Things by Bryn Greenwood
Reading Time: 4 minutes
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
Book Review: The Fill In Boyfriend by Kasie West
Reading Time: 3 minutes
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
Book Review: Godsgrave by Jay Kristoff (The Nevernight Chronicle #2)
Reading Time: 4 minutes
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.
