Title : The Near Witch Author : V E Schwab Genre : Middle Grade Fantasy Being quite an active Bookstagrammer, V E Schwab was one of those authors that one can hardly missed. Her books were well received and I was shocked to see that she has been around for quite some time and has written a lot of books. Finally, I picked up her debut novel when the books came out pretty cheap and this is my take on it. The plot revolves around the town of Near where we see Lexi living along with her younger sister Wren and her mother. She despises her uncle Otto who tends to control every action of hers. Her father also known as the Protector of Near had died in mysterious circumstances. One day Lexi sees a stranger arrive in town and this follows up with the disappearances of kids around the town? Who is the stranger? Will Lexi be able to find the kids? What are the various mysteries revolving around the town brings up the rest of the story.

It leaves the readers wondering: Will the protagonist survive in the midst of the powerful lobbies who have scant regard for human life? Or will he be crushed like a beetle under a booted fo...

I have delayed this article for quite a long due to my reader's block but as a blogger it is my duty to review the books that I have been provided copies for. Last October, Bloomsbury had conducted a readathon for some of their award winning books to inspire more readers to read new books. I decided to pick up these books and here is my take on the same. The Graveyard Book by Neil Gaiman (🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟) The Graveyard Book is a book about a little boy named Nobody Owens. Bod, as his friends call him is an orphan who has the most interesting surrogate family. Having lost his entire family to a brutal murder, Bod wanders into a graveyard and here is where he finds the most amazing myth to be a reality that ghosts are real. Neil Gaiman is a wonderful storyteller and the same is portrayed in The Graveyard book. Although, a book primarily written for children, this book is surely to captivate childrens and adults alike. The characters have been portrayed pretty detailed and there ...
