Another day, another book review. As they say, never judge a book by its cover but when the cover turns out to be so cliched, one cannot help but judge the book. I was however promised a story that is different from the novels that are being churned out these days and I decided to take my risk on the same. Read further onto find out how the book fares. Blurb (From Amazon): Major Virat Singh Rajput was once a fearless Black Cat commando who had saved Mumbai from its venomous perpetrators. His life took a beautiful turn when he got engaged to Pratishtha Sachdev, the girl he had selflessly loved for the last fourteen years. Everything was blissful, until one day Pratishtha mysteriously went missing. Virat, who was hailed as India’s hero, has now become a villain and is facing a certain death penalty.

A good amount of rave reviews online made me pick up this book which otherwise would have gone unnoticed by me if it hadn't been the posts on my various social media handles.

Reeling from this revelation and not knowing who to trust, Simonsen follows a trail that even...

He had shared the manuscripts as well as sent me the final copy of the book. Though I had finished the book quite a long time back, I kept procrastinating the review but I had finally decided to do it. Did the author stick on his promise of a book that won't disappoint? Read it further to know. Blurb : Trying to protect his pregnant wife, scientist Ashwin Rathore gets killed – unexpectedly and unwantedly. A deadly force lurks in the murk that wants her too, but why? Is it because she works for and with the military and Intelligence teams in the country, or is it because she knows something that no one else does? My Take on the Book : Being disappointed with a lot of Indian author books these days, this book comes as a breathe of fresh air. The author takes on a pretty simple pl...
