YESTERDAY'S GHOST BY NIKHIL PRADHAN

 There is this group of four people, part of the army team called the Black Team who took part in a secret mission in Sri Lanka thirty years back. They were then forced to retreat from the armed forces and each move in a sepertae path to lead their lives. One day, they receive a code message related only to the event that shook their life thirty years back and their nightmares come true.

If you are a sucker for Paranormal reads, this one is your plate of pie. In fact, I was sort of scared to sleep the night I read this book. It will definitely give you that vibe because of the setting, the mysterious character called Black Knight and the chain of events that would relate to creepy & ghostly stuffs.

Now, moving apart from the gothic feeling, I felt that the book was confusing at some points like...I could not follow the writing very clearly and I also feel some questions are unanswered though I could not tell what the questions were. It was kind of cloudy is what I am trying to say if you get me.

The style of narration is a mix up of prose and dialects and so a big tick mark for that because you would not feel bored in between. The best thing for me about this book is the entire concept. The idea of bringing in horror into action zone and connecting it with mental health, guilt and lots of other stuffs was wonderful. On the whole, it was a good read.

My January TBR pile

  Hey all! Its another year and I am super excited to read diverse genres and titles. Also, there are so many interesting books coming out this year and I have a list of releases that I can't wait for (which I will let you all know in the next week probably). Besides that, my tbr pile is ever growing and I have decided to jump into ten of them in the month of January. I am usually the one who picks up random books to read then and there but this year I've decided to set a dedicated to-read list each month. So let me give you a glance of my January reading plan. Hippie by Paulo Coelho   The first book that I've already started reading this month is Hippie by Paulo Coelho. I've heard mixed reviews abut this book considering the other works of the author and to be noted is that this book is my first experience with Coelho.  Hippie is an auto-bigraphical novel which talks about the journey that Paulo takes up from Brazil to Amsterdam which destined him to meet Karla.

BOOK SERIES REVIEW

THE CURSEBREAKERS SERIES BY BRIGID KEMMERER Reading has always been an inevitable hobby since my childhood and being that way, fairy tales are always special. Who doesn't love escaping what we know as reality and living in a magical land with mysterious and interesting creatures, witches, characters that we dream about, superpowers and what not? The Cursebreakers series has one such fictional world called Emberfall with totally lovable characters.
