I ended up scratching my head, rereading pages and thinking what did I miss?! Crazy ones!! Read these guys. Happy reading 📖👻😆🍿📚🤯

Blind Fury is the second instalment in the Kutta K Blind Fury is the second instalment in the Kutta Kadam series, although it can be read easily stand alone, Book for those of you who like their thrillers with a serial killer, doing dark crimes around the city, and a brilliant cop and his team doing the investigation in the proper way, Blind fury is for you. So the book starts with a crime and I love it when there is a crime scene and the killer is at action, and after that, the book gets a bit complex because there are a lot of characters that are coming and going throughout Book, so it’s hard to keep up with their names and stuff, however, when you reach the middle of the book, the pace catches up and there are cliffhanger in each chapter, and the chapters are really short, so you will keep turning the pages very easily. And then there is the plot, so what is happening in Mumbai is quiet parts. There is actually a killer in loose. He is hunting his victims. Choosing them very carefully, and then is chasing them removing their eyes, and then killing them, all methodically leaving no evidence behind. Is this a ritualistic killing?! Or a drug dealing gone wrong? There are drug dealers, a mafia don and some really fishy ophthalmologists in play. Only time will say who’s doing this!! It is up to Kadam and his team to find the killer before he escalates too much and the time is running. Kadam has his own demons to fight. He has his family, and if you have read the previous Book, you’ll understand why this is important for Book. Overall, this was a quick read for me. I did get which slowed up in the middle of the Book and frankly the pool of suspects, were a bit hard to keep up, but the climax did it all for me. so if you are someone who loves their thrillers with fast paced chapters, police procedural and a killer in action, then this is for you. #kuttakadam #blindfury #ashwinsanghi #thrillerbooks #bookstagramindia

It’s been so long since I sat back, relaxed and It’s been so long since I sat back, relaxed and enjoyed every single page of a book without skimming through it. You know why!? It’s because of the women in the book, their voices which were relatable. It could easily be me or You! Because us women are special, each of us leading a life that ought to be celebrated. I’m so glad the author brought out the stories of each of the women into light in the most profound way possible. Not too brash, not silly, just the right way. If you’re someone who believe in female friendships, women’s voices matter, sisters who stick together and healing through hope and compassion, then you must give this book a read. #thewifeclub is for every woman out there, it’s a story of ones becoming.

#Rudra is what you call a popcorn thriller that ha #Rudra is what you call a popcorn thriller that has a mix of Indian mythological stories that we have heard growing up and glimpses from our sacred tales needled with the modern world setting. It only makes the reading experience interesting. Throw in some cunning villains plotting the deadly damages and a time traveller who wants to save the world. Also combine the damages the AI could do with its rapid alarming growth in every sector. The author is creative and delivers some really scary instances that I hope to God do not happen in realtime! I gobbled this book in a few hours during a transit journey. Rudra is now available everywhere!! Pick your copy now. @srishtipub 📚❤️🧐

The Tapes by @kerry.wilkinson is an amazing thrill The Tapes by @kerry.wilkinson is an amazing thriller with quick chapters full of cliffhangers that I gobbled within a few hours. Perfect if you like your thrillers with a mix of fun formats like podcasts, recorded transcripts, texts etc. This was my first read by the author but I’m definitely checking out his other books too. Have you read this author’s works yet?
She is not perfect. She is chaotic, loud and makes She is not perfect. She is chaotic, loud and makes mistakes. But then who doesn’t? Oh, she is also madly in love with her colleague who doesn’t love her back. Samar is a sweetheart really. That man could have been with anyone and yet he was ready to bear with the immature Tara, often drunk and yelling at him. I would have loved a few chapters from his POV. Friends who are more like a family to support the MCs support the storyline with their good nature. A good mix of banter, uplifting moments, and some spice. A very entertaining read. Definitely recommend. #takeachanceonme #romcom #romcombooks #indianromcom
#thefourthgirl by @arefa_tehsin ⭐️⭐️⭐️ #thefourthgirl by @arefa_tehsin ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Genre: Women’s Fiction | Mystery 📖A slow-burn, character-driven women’s fiction with a delicious tang of mystery. 📖 A character who lingers on every page, yet remains a mystery until the very final chapter. 📖The narrative moves between the girls’ teenage years and multiple layers of interconnected stories. 📖Each storyline unfolds gradually, weaving together secrets, relationships, and powerful themes. 📖The final ultimatum brings all the threads together in a deeply satisfying conclusion. #availablenow

💔 #moms by @shivani_sibal is a deeply emotional 💔 #moms by @shivani_sibal is a deeply emotional read that hits differently for every mom. ✨ Original, powerful, and achingly relatable. 🥹 The kind of book that stays with you long after the final page. ❤️‍🩹 Took me far too long to recover from this one. Highly recommend it if you’re a mom, who think you’re alone in this journey. This is a compelling read, layered and poignant, shows the glam and reality of the modern world. Absolutely love it!! #bookreview #bookrecommendations
What happens when a family’s carefully preserved What happens when a family’s carefully preserved myths begin to unravel? Can the truth survive generations of silence, loyalty and denial? #inthemoonlitkingdom #aishwaryajha I woke up to this beautiful package! 📦🥹❤️ ‘The black spots closing in the town could have told her more stories….’ 🫣😳 🥹 absolutely loving the cover!! just me, flaunting the book. Oh, look at the shine ✨
As a huge fan of @lorethannewhite , I’ve read al As a huge fan of @lorethannewhite , I’ve read almost every book of hers, so I had huge expectations for her newest release. 📚✨ And the moment I read the blurb, I knew I was going to be invested! If you love closed-room mysteries packed with suspects, secrets, and twists, this book is an absolute treat! 🔍🕵️‍♀️ And if you’re a fan of the Titanic and the mysteries surrounding its sinking, this one is definitely for you! 🚢🌊 One thing I absolutely love about this author is how she takes inspiration from real-life crimes and criminals 🩸📰 and then weaves her own imaginative tales around them. It makes her stories feel all the more intriguing, especially when you know there are real events hidden beneath the fiction. 🧩✨ The Black Orchid is a majestic vessel filled with glamorous guests, setting sail on what should be a beautiful maiden voyage. 🛳️🥂 But every guest has secrets lurking beneath the surface… 🤫 As they cross paths and their stories begin to intertwine, the fate of the ship—and everyone on board—changes forever. ⚓🌊 The story moves between different characters and a podcast that gradually brings us closer to the ship’s journey. 🎙️📖 And when everything finally comes together, it genuinely felt like I had been on that voyage myself. I could almost feel the sea breeze on my face while discovering the rich Greek history and culture woven into the story. 🇬🇷🌊 What a crazy, atmospheric journey! 🤯🚢✨ Absolutely amazing. Read it, guys! ❤️📚 💭 QOTD: If you were invited on the maiden voyage of a luxurious ship, but knew there was a mystery waiting to unfold onboard… would you still set sail? 🚢🔍 #outnow #blackorchid #advancedreader #thrillerbook
You know your weekend is sorted when the book you’ve been waiting for all through the month, finally comes home!! 🥹📚 Thank you @harpercollinsin @shivani_sibal for the signed copy. It looks amazing!! Now for you to fall in love with the intriguing premise, just like I did, here goes the blurb: A glamorous address, an immaculate home, a seemingly perfect family - Radhika Khanna appears to glide through Delhi society. Yet before dawn she is already on edge, coaxing her hair into place, weighing herself with dread, rehearsing the smile that keeps awkward questions at bay. When a confrontation at her daughter’s elite school turns Radhika from admired committee head to whispered cautionary tale, fissures spread through her meticulously managed world: fragile neighbourhood-mom alliances, an uneasy bond with her yoga teacher-friend and the carefully curated social media posts that mask an unbearable loneliness. As gala weekends and themed dinners hurtle towards a spectacular destination party in Rajasthan, Radhika is forced to pay the true price of her perfection. 🟰🟰🟰🟰🟰🟰 As a mom whose everyday life involves navigating the dynamics of school, fellow moms, and all the little social circles that come with it, this story already feels incredibly relatable. 🫣 I can already see myself getting drawn into the drama, secrets, and twists—and I absolutely cannot wait to dig in! 📖✨ 📚 Qotd - what are you reading this weekend?
September hopefuls 📚🖤 🌲 The Whisper — C September hopefuls 📚🖤 🌲 The Whisper — Chelsea Iversen Four friends. One deadly secret. 15 years later, the woods start whispering again… 🩸 Her Silence — T.
