Book Review: Hope We Never Meet Again by Srinath Krishnamoorthy

 

Hope We Never Meet Again  by Srinath Krishnamoorthy

Psychological, Hate Thriller? Well it’s a notch different. I would say a Psychological Hate thriller with a Tint of Supernatural to it.
READ IT! You will not regret it.
Busy with writing last month I couldn’t read it. Now that I finally sat with the book I was hooked. During the first part somewhere I felt a little drag and doubted is it relevant to the start that had made me think ‘WHOA! What the heck happened?’ But soon it got me back into the inescapable current.

The narration is very different. Every reader who loves trying new Author should give it a try.  The story is hooking. For a first book it is a strong current which would suck you in, actually kind of whirlpool. Not all would like the style but nobody would feel it was a waste of time.
If you are into thrillers, mind plays …watch out for this author - ‘Srinath Krishnamoorthy’.

*Spoiler alert

Very nostalgic, Palakkad, ottaplam, though never been to Mannur I could relate to the paddy fields, the pond, the kaavu (temple), the festivities there. The very village atmosphere we can see even today when we go home. Yes still it is home though left home years before in the name of life, job and family.  Picturesque description; which has absorbed the very essence of a Kerala village life and equally brought into picture the busy metropolitan world of Bangalore.   
The complexities of the protagonist’s mind, the dark alleys it travelled is worth mentioning. Some where it reminded me of Sydney Sheldon’s ‘Tell Me your Dreams’.
It should be the writer or the feministic corner in me that I wanted a more round character of Ritu. I felt  Kamala’s and Meena’s character were more defined than Ritu’s. But I think the author did justice, the product of materialistic world; that is Ritu. Whereas Kamala and Meena who had to fend the life in more harsher and rougher ways were aptly presented.
Kamala / Pazani/ Vasu --- Vasu and Varun 
Varun / Vasu--- Christy
Meena – Selvan --  Unni kuttan
Then other peep characters , Priya, Kiran,  Neha …etc
All the characters mixed in to create this psychological ride.
Then, I did want to know what happened to Soorej Menen.

All in all it really left my mind questioning and wondering ‘ What exactly happened here?’  

Read it once and you won’t regret having tried a new author.

Book Review: Destined by Rubina Ramesh

Image
Why should a woman be made to choose? Why can’t she choose both, duty and Love? When the burden of pain and the fear of losing your love is bearing upon you, just the presence of someone next to you is too valuable. Esha’s struggle to be strong as she stood by her father in his battle with cancer, and the Deja vu she experiences is heart wrenching. And trust me, I was so engrossed in her pain that I was shocked at my desire to hit Ayush. Out of the blue came a marriage proposal, a contractual marriage for six months, meant to benefit her father’s treatment and to remove the complications in Rohan’s life. What they both didn’t see coming (to the delight of my two doppelgangers—the one in white with a halo on top of her head and the one in black with red horns) was the intense attraction between them. The brewing friendship, companionship, intimacy, and finally love was perfect. Not even a second of dullness. The book holds you to Esha and Rohan’s romance till the end.

Book Review - Her Secret Husband by Sundari Venkatraman **********THE BEACON… RED LIGHTS… ALARMS …  BIG BIG BIG Spoiler ALERT…. “What if I need you desperately?” “Do you love me or just lust after my body?” “Can’t I do both?" Phew….. I am already feeling hot. And I have just read page 24 which is just the excerpt before the novel begins in the book. (exasperated…) So what am I doing writing? Good question. Cause unlike normal book reviews (psssst I doubt my reviews usually are normal .. my eyes  rolling up lips turning at one side) here I thought, (wicked glint in my eyes) a running commentary for a change ;-) And guess it’s a surprise for all romance lovers especially Sundari Venkatraman’s avid readers. The book has been released just about an hour ago, I couldn’t help myself and I grabbed the kindle copy from amazon. (one of me in black and with two red horns shining on the head and a trident by my one shoulder and the other one of me in white with all feather wi
