My Ratings - ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5
"I believe that the writer should tell a story. I believe in plot. I believe in creating characters and suspense". This story is a great example of the above quote.. The writer put all his efforts to make the story more suspenseful and meaningful at the same time.
The story begins with Chaarvi and Rishi who are searching for a rental apartment for their shifting with Amod while Amod, who's the son of the owner accidentally fell from the balcony and died on the spot. Apart from these three characters there were more supporting characters in this story. The further story interpreted the Charcter of Chaarvi very well as she suffered from a serious mental ailment which makes her unconscious.
From the beginning the book maintained a mysterious atmosphere, letting secrets out one by one and making us doubt everyone there in the story. Hooked till the last page.
The story moves along as if it has a huge paranormal background which makes the story more engaging feels like a real story through its undeniable elements and described each character very well. The entire story keeps us engaging from the first page to the last.
Suspense arises naturally from good writing - it's not a spice to be added separately. The author did great work in his debut novel.
Overall, it's a wonderful read.
