The Pawn by Skye Warren My rating: 4 of 5 stars This was supposed to have gone into my DNF titles long ago, when I could not read beyond a point - because I do not enjoy erotica. However, some part of the thriller in the book, forced me to pull it out again after more than a month. I finished the remaining part of 'The Pawn' in one sitting. Filled with Chess moves, Greek Mythology, Lust, Deceit and caution, this book keeps the reader wanting for more once it is done - it makes one want to read the second part without much ado! The insecurities of the protagonist are elegantly portrayed, and the mind-games of her enemy/ lover (not sure) are admirable. The only reason I deprived the book of a star, was because, I don't enjoy sex. If I had loved erotica, may be it would have been 5 stars. Bingo!! View all my reviews

The i’Mpossible Project: Changing Minds, Breaking Stigma, Achieving the Impossible by Joshua Rivedal My rating: 5 of 5 stars   "Telling someone with anxiety to just calm down is like telling someone with epilepsy to just stop having a seizure" The book is a very encouraging read for anyone who wants to cope through mental issues. Well, lets not restrain ourselves to just that - it book is for absolutely anyone who wants to gain self-confidence, its for anyone who feels shunned by the society, its for absolutely everyone! I wish to thank the author for giving me a copy of his work in exchange for a review. View all my reviews

Library of the Dead by Glenn Cooper My rating: 1 of 5 stars Triggering point of Thriller : Random deaths Link : All the deceased receive post-cards with coffin image Extent of thrill : 3 stars Ingeniousness of mystery involved: 4 star Character of the protagonist: 0 star (a complete womanizer deserves a negative rating) Credibility of Historical Information : 0 star Literary Specifics: 0 star (Too many swear words to count) Anything admirable: 0 star (Nothing Specific) The cause of deaths becomes quite obvious towards the middle of the book, and hence, the ending doesn't quite surprise you. I specifically disgusted the way women were treated in the book, especially the ones in Vectis. View all my reviews

Anywhere But Here: A Short Horror Story by Jordon Greene My rating: 3 of 5 stars I would like to thank the author for sharing his short story "Anywhere But Here" in exchange for an honest review. The first half of the book was a little slow paced. I wasn't able to connect much with the hallucinations of Taren Evans. But, when there is a murder in his neighborhood I get interested. Finally, I am getting the thrill I expect. The hallucinations get real over the second half, and I am able to feel the blood racing. I am excited and expecting more, when suddenly the book comes to an end. There are a couple of unanswered questions, which makes the book feel incomplete. For a moment I thought may be Taren is the murderer who does it through sleep walking. But however, in one of the passages, Dr. Gillespie states that his body was immobile during the sleep study. So Evans being the murderer is ruled out. Neither are the murderers revealed nor is Taren's hallucination cure...

Lie of the Tiger by John    Martin My rating: 5 of 5 stars I would like to thank the author- John Martin, for offering me a free ARC, in exchange for an honest review. I really loved the book. The plot was very interesting, thrilling and undoubtedly hilarious. Paddy, a Professor, has landed a job of taking care of the Windy Mountain Tasmanian Tiger Museum in exchange for "no salary". The museum is desperately in need of a show-stealer to get the it running, while there are few who will stop at nothing to see the it shutdown for good. But why? What do they gain by closing it? To make things worse, the entry fees to the museum is increased to nineteen dollars. Definitely no one would pay that much to visit it. Oodles and Wish-wash go out of the way to ensure its sustenance. Paddy is not whom he claims to be. Billy is not as dead as he is supposed to be. The savings scheme for the last man standing needs a special mention. That was an interesting idea. As the story revolves ...

The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman My rating: 5 of 5 stars That was a truly creepy read! Excellent imagination by the author! Bravo, I loved it. Thanks to the fact that the author has mentioned that the wallpaper thing is a fragment of her own 'writer's imagination', and not something she had personally undergone. So far so good.. The narrator, is kept inside a room, to recuperate from illness. Every thing is completely prescribed by her husband who is himself a alienist (an old-fashioned name for psychiatrist). The greater the time the narrator spends opposite the yellow wallpaper in her room, the more she starts 'seeing' things.. a lady in the wallpaper, she comes out of the wallpaper and roams around the room, the road, in daylight and moonlight, at times there are many women coming out.. The narrator resolves to tear down the wallpaper, she wants to bring down the lady, when finally she realizes that the lady in the wallpaper is herself! An ama...
