Liitle bit something

So, currently I am reading, actually I am going to start reading Ashwin Sanghi's "The Rozabel Line." It is a theological thriller which has heavy Christian background. I have not started reading this because I don't know if it will be addictive.

Weird Excuse, huh!

With Christmas just a morning away, I am trying to spend maximum time with my family. So, getting hooked to the book will be problem. Since, I can't stop once I start.

Anyway I will be posting a review as soon as I finish it.



So, Adios for now. The book is in my #AmReading page

Super Sunday - Super Covers #4

It's Sunday, that means it's time to see which beautiful cover is going to be featured on the super cover section. The criterias are pretty simple, the cover must be Jaw- dropping, must indicate the theme of the book. Although sometimes the theme is pretty hard to find out. But most of all it must be the type of the cover that must prompt us to take a second glance. That must seduce us to buy the book . So, which cover did it for me this week.

It was the cover of bestselling Y.A dystopian romance "Shatter Me" by Tahereh Mafi.





Author : Tahereh Mafi
                  Genres :  Y.A Dystopian Thriller 
 Pages : 368              
      Publisher : HarperCollins
Buy from:  Amazon   
* The above one is an Amazon Affiliate Link

What is the book about : 
I have a curse.
I have a gift.
I'm a monster.
I'm more than human.
My touch is lethal.
My touch is power.
I am their weapon.
I will fight back.
No one knows why Juliette's touch is fatal, but The Reestablishment has plans for her. Plans to use her as a weapon. But Juliette has plans of her own. After a lifetime without freedom, she's finally discovering a strength to fight back for the very first time—and to find a future with the one boy she thought she'd lost forever.
In this electrifying debut, Tahereh Mafi presents a riveting dystopian world, a thrilling superhero story, and an unforgettable heroine.

(The Rest of the covers in the Trilogy are also Pretty amazing( Yeah I know I am always reviewing Trilogies. Although this is not a review.)



                 
That's it for this Sunday. Hope you have fun Monday.

Review of Five Point someone by Chetan Bhagat


 I loved three Idiots and I looved Rancho in it.It is among Amir Khan's best works.


I thought it was one of the best written, the most hilarious movies of all times. I was mentally applauding the scriptwriter for having such a brilliant brain( Maybe , even a little jealous). So, imagine my surprise when I heard that it was based on a book by an author named  Chetan Bhagat. And I was Like " who".



Then I had to read Five point Someone. I bought Five Point Someone and finished it in one sitting. It had a simple minimalistic style, no ornate language and a very beautiful heroine who just happened to be the Professor's daughter. But, the book was disapointing in a sense because I read it after seeing "3 Idiots". The film maybe took 10 % from the book, that's all.


Click to But this Bestseller


Set in IIT, in the early 90's, Five Point Someone portrays the lives of the protagonist Hari and his two friends Ryan and Alok. It explores the darker side of IIT, one in which students having worked for years to make it into the institute - struggle to maintain their grades, keep their friends and have some kind of life outside studies.


But that aside. The book is well written and well edited. I didn't like the cover but I loved the characters. They are very Three- dimensional and it is very easy to imagine them. The language is fluid and as he takes on the roller coaster ride through IIT. We experience each moment, each joy, each sorrow as if it's our friends being hurt and fictional characters of a book.

In a short it had all I wanted in a summer read. 

Also I loved the fact that the ending and the relationship between our lead pairs were realistic. I even sympathised with the poor professor, the dad of the heroine. And me being student, you should know it's really hard. 
There was another major factor which made Hari, the lead, so much more likeable. It was the fact that a chapter was allowed for Ryan and Alok to tell us about Hari, which gives us a glimpse into his past and tells us in few precise sentences. Why he is the way, he is.

On the whole I found it to be a very enjoyable read , a light one. Chetan Bhagat books aren't expensive so you should definitely give it a try.

Rating : 3.8 / 5

 He is an Indian author, columnist, screenwriter and speaker. Bhagat is the author of bestselling novels. Bhagat writes op-ed columns for popular English and Hindi newspapers, including The Times of India and Dainik Bhaskar focusing on youth, career  and issue based on national developement. In 2008,  The New York Time cited Bhagat as "the biggest selling English language novelist in India’s history

Review of Burn For Me (Hidden Legacy) by Ilona Andrews

I am big fan of  Ilona Andrews, her Kate Daniels and Edge series were phenomenal  and when I heard that she was releasing a new work. I just had to read it. “Burn for Me”  is the first in the series and it was one fabulous beginning. I maybe partial to her work, but I am  fan, What can I do. “Burn for Me” is an  urban fantasy and the Romance is  slow burning, toe curling and sizzling hot.

http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/0062289233/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=3626&creative=24790&creativeASIN=0062289233&linkCode=as2&tag=americanbooks-21&linkId=LRULUN74GMNSSDHV

#1 New York Times bestselling author Ilona Andrews launches a brand-new Hidden Legacy series, in which one woman must place her trust in a seductive, dangerous man who sets off an even more dangerous desire . . .
Nevada Baylor is faced with the most challenging case of her detective career—a suicide mission to bring in a suspect in a volatile situation. Nevada isn't sure she has the chops. Her quarry is a Prime, the highest rank of magic user, who can set anyone and anything on fire.

Then she's kidnapped by Connor "Mad" Rogan—a darkly tempting billionaire with equally devastating powers. Torn between wanting to run and wanting to surrender to their overwhelming attraction, Nevada must join forces with Rogan to stay alive.

Rogan's after the same target, so he needs Nevada. But she's getting under his skin, making him care about someone other than himself for a change. And, as Rogan has learned, love can be as perilous as death, especially in the magic world.


 First of all the fact that the one we usually peg as the villain was the hero was a surprise for me, a good one too. Nevada and Connor are on the two extremes of the spectrum. The chemistry between them is like burning embers, a small whisper of wind can produce everburning flames.

A major fact I admire in Ilona’s work is the fact that there is always a  story, which moves independent to the romance. So, even if you remove the romance and write it as a murder mystery , it can stand on it’s own.

One problem I had with the story were the description. But that is personal, since, I am not a fan of descriptions or much detail

The story progresses quite smoothly and I loved the twist at the end. That was unexpected. So how much would I rate this story.....

Rating : 4.5/5

I recommend  this book not because I am a fan but because it’s a pretty good one. Being a Fan means you will expect a higher standard of quality from the author’s work and this author delivers. I am eagerly waiting for it’s second part.

Review of Cursed by Jennifer.L.Armentrout

Jennifer is one among among my favourite authors.I loved her Obsidian series. When I heard she had written this standalone work 'Cursed' I don't think I even read the back cover before buying. I have trust in her abilities.
Click to Buy Cursed     

Dying sucks--and high school senior Ember McWilliams knows firsthand. After a fatal car accident, her gifted little sister brought her back. Now anything Ember touches dies. And that, well, really blows. Ember operates on a no-touch policy with all living things--including boys. When Hayden Cromwell shows up, quoting Oscar Wilde and claiming her curse is a gift, she thinks he's a crazed cutie. But when he tells her he can help control it, she's more than interested. There's just one catch: Ember has to trust Hayden's adopted father, a man she's sure has sinister reasons for collecting children whose abilities even weird her out. However, she's willing to do anything to hold her sister's hand again. And hell, she'd also like to be able to kiss Hayden. Who wouldn't? But when Ember learns the accident that turned her into a freak may not've been an accident at all, she's not sure who to trust. Someone wanted her dead, and the closer she gets to the truth, the closer she is to losing not only her heart, but her life. For real this time

Cursed was a good book. But I expected more from her,justified because of how amazing her Obsididan and Covenenant series were. This book just didn't do it for me. The story revolved around the not-so-unique concept of 'touch of death'. Though she did put some uniqueness into it.

Ember is a very strong heroine and I adore her little sister. Whose character was very realistic. The antagonist could be guessed and his backstory though very good,lacked punch.His story didn't justify what he was doing.The author did a bad job on that. I was sad because I knew she could do better than this.
I didn't fall in love with the hero. He was a little confusing at times. I get the whole brooding image of the hero. I guess it is a matter of preference. I don't like that much brooding heroes.

The romance between the leads which were steamy at times lost pace at many instances. So, at the end when they were together I didn't feel that exultant.

Rating : 3/5

Overall, the book is a good read. But since I am huge fan of her and have read many of her better works. This didn't do it for me. Though if it's the first you have heard of her. You could read this. You'll enjoy it. Then you could move on to covenant and then the Luxen series (personaly. I liked the Luxen series better).

Review of Life is What You Make of It by Preeti Shenoy

This book was gifted to me by my friend and I am forever grateful to her for that.  It was the first time I had heard of the author and since the cover was quite beautiful, I decided to give it a try( shallow , I know). I am so glad I did. It is a life story but more than that it shows us how beautiful life is despite the severe setbacks that often get's thrown our way.

The book is motivational but more than that it encloses a very beautiful story. I loved the book and after reading it My heart was poutpourri of emotions.

Ankitha's journey from the beginning to the very end is well narrated and paced. The twists and turns spectacular. The ending was very unexpected  (in a good way) and i liked the way the author tied up the loose ends.. It was almost like following the bread crumbs that lead to final destination.

So, if you ever have time, please please give this book a try. It is really cheap. I would pay so thrice it's original price to read this book.

I will rate it now.....

Review of Archangel's Shadow (Book 7 of Guild Hunter Series) by Nalini Singh

Hey, How are you.Had a happy day ? Since for me happy days consist of those where I can read a book uninterrupted. Mine was a particularly good one. I finished Jennifer.L.Armentrout's stand alone novel "Cursed". But that's not what I am going to review today.

As you guessed from the title I'm going to review the Book No.7 in the fantastic Guild Hunter Series by the even more fantastic author Nalini Singh.

Click to Buy

Return to New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s sensual and painfully beautiful Guild Hunter world in her new novel of sacrifice, loyalty, and the choices of love that can shatter the heart.

In the wake of a brutal war, the archangel Raphael and his hunter consort, Elena, are dealing with the treacherously shifting tides of archangelic politics and the people of a battered but not broken city. The last thing their city needs is more death, especially a death that bears the eerie signature of an insane enemy archangel who cannot—should not—be walking the streets.

This hunt must be undertaken with stealth and without alerting their people. It must be handled by those who can become shadows themselves…

Ash is a gifted tracker and a woman cursed with the ability to sense the secrets of anyone she touches. But there’s one man she knows all too well without a single instant of skin contact: Janvier, the dangerously sexy Cajun vampire who has fascinated and infuriated her for years. Now, as they track down a merciless killer, their cat-and-mouse game of flirtation and provocation has turned into a profound one of the heart. And this time, it is Ash’s secret, dark and terrible, that threatens to destroy them both. 


This time the story was the much awaited one of Ashwini and Janvier.Those two have been dancing round the edge of the blade for a few years now. I was eagerly waiting for them to get their own book especially after it was mentioned in the previous Elena-Raphael book Archangel's Legion it was I think , that the charming Cajun vampire Janvier was playing the sexy nurse to the injured Ashwini.

Now you know how much expectations I had from this book. But it was a let-down for me. I mean the story was great , the writing beautifull, only problem was that it sounded as if Janvier and Ashwini were the secondary characters whose lives were again in the sidelines . I was more interseted in Naasir, Elena and Raphael than the main leads. Also it was a big let down in terms of romance. I was expecting more emotions, more witty banter between them.Sigh.

This work would have been great if it was just a novel which gave us glimpses into the life of the main characters while we waited for the real seventh book from this series. Then I would have given this five stars. The book wasn't bad, it was good but it felt off. Since, I was more curious about Naasir than our main leads(are you really a tiger naasir?).

I am not a fan of this book but I am not giving up on this series because I know Nalini can deliver better than this.

So,I guess I will give my rating now

Super Sunday - Super Sunday #2

Hey guys, time for another super sunday cover.Since last time I had taken a Trilogy last time and this time also it's another trilogy.  It's the Shiva Trilogy especially the first book "Immortals Of Meluha". This book is a very imaginative reinterpretation of Indian Myth, of the legendary Immortal God Shiva whose exploits are evergreen.


http://www.amazon.in/gp/product/9380658745/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=3626&creative=24790&creativeASIN=9380658745&linkCode=as2&tag=supersunday-21&linkId=453AYJYO32KIC4OL

The Immortals of Meluha (Shiva Trilogy) is the first chapter of the Shiva Trilogy that showcases the making of Lord Shiva through a fictional medium. The narrative unfolds in the immemorial land of Meluha, where reigns the Suryavanshi clan, a highly civilized society of rules, regulations and guidelines. Abiding by their just means of lifestyle, there is persistent fear of terrorist attacks from the Chandravanshis, a clan-less civilization allied with the heinous Nagas. Together, they conspire to steal the secret formula of the Suryavanshi holy drink, Somrasa. With this paranoia, there are whispers of a prophecy pertaining to a blue-throated man from the lands of Sapt-Sindhu who would rescue the Suryavanshis from their turmoil. Enter Shiva, a tribal patriarch from the mountains of Kailasa, who travels from his home territory to Meluha in search of safety and shelter. The mystery of his throat turning blue after consuming Somrasa, begs the Meluhan people to ask a question of cosmic proportions, Is he the prophesied one? The story redefines the nomenclatures of iniquity and integrity precedented by legendary characters, folktales and Puranas mingling cohesively into an integrated pattern. The story written by critically acclaimed author, Amish Tripathi truly captures the spirit of these archaic ages in their true color.


The other books in this trilogy are

The fabled Neelkanth, Shiva, is faced with his greatest challenge. He is forced onto a path of vengeance where nothing is as it seems, in The Secret of The Nagas (Shiva Trilogy). The hunt is on for a mysterious naga assailant who has taken the life of one of Shiva's close associates and now preys on his wife. This thirst for revenge will bring him face to face with the truth behind the mysterious nagas.
The nagas are a deformed race of warriors with exceptional fighting skills, whose motives are hidden. They play a central role in a conspiracy that has brought a once mighty kingdom to its knees. And if Shiva is to break the deadlock, he must travel deep into hostile territory, where he will face a deadly adversary.
At Kashi, Shiva's wife, Sati, who has recently given birth to their child, stays behind to help the King with an entirely different kind of battle. As Shiva's journey takes him away from her, she will uncover a secret that will change both their lives forever. Will Shiva and Sati's marriage survive, when the line between friend and foe becomes blurred?
With a plot that picks up right where the previous book left off, The Secret of The Nagas (Shiva Trilogy) takes you on an exciting roller coaster ride through this epic re-imagination of Indian mythology.

ONLY A GOD CAN STOP IT.

India convulses under the onslaught of a series of brutal battles. It's a war for the very soul of the nation. Many will die. But Shiva must not fail, no matter what the cost. In his desperation, he reaches out to the ones who have never offered any help to him: the Vayuputras.
Will he succeed? And what will be the real cost of battling Evil? To India? And to Shiva's soul?

They all try to make it through their shifts–and maintain their sanity–under the eagle eye of a boss whose ego rivals his incompetence. But tonight is no ordinary night. Tonight is Thanksgiving in America: Appliances are going haywire, and the phones are ringing off their hooks. Then one call, from one very special caller, changes everything.

Chetan Bhagat’s delicious romantic comedy takes us inside the world of the international call center, where cultural cross-wires come together with perfect pathos, hilarity, and spice.
