My Thoughts
When life tries to define you with its hardship, you gotta push back, look it straight in the eye and say, 'No matter what life throws at me, I'm going to keep telling myself that I will overcome.' And every time you own that truth, you write your own life script. As author says through this book Those who do not own their life, end up getting owned by someone else.
This is my first book by Sonal Bawa Bakshi but I have a feeling that I will be going to get through her backlist as soon as possible. While the plot in the book was delightful; the suspense had me biting my nails at the twists and turns – but it was the actions of the characters that got on my nerves; AGAIN and AGAIN! I honestly wanted to scream (and I did; internally!) for them to NOT do the exact thing that was going to get them killed; yet they went ahead and did it anyways.
ONE, I could understand; TWO was stretching it; but gosh darn it – even knowing that the threat was real, the characters acted cocky, which exasperated me to no end! The plot though had me guessing and to be honest, not many thrillers are able to do so – and this is the exact reason why it got the rating it did!
This book was crazy tense! I was hooked from start to finish and left wanting more. Please be more!! All the characters were fantastic. I cannot rave about this book enough, I highly recommend this to everyone.
