Sandra lost her husband, Sam, and was lonely in this not-so-alone world until she met Sam’s look-alike, Fran, from another world. Will Fran be able to provide all the happiness Sandra has been yearning since Sam’s physical body left?

The Doppelgänger is a metaphysical short story that will take you on a rollercoaster of emotions as the astral and physical bodies clash. 

My Review:

The Doppelganger is a short story with a unique combination of two genres: fantasy and paranormal. It is a little different genre but really worth a read.

Usually, life after losing a loved one is difficult especially, when the loved one leaves the world all of a sudden and at a very young age.

For Sandra, it was difficult to cope after losing her husband but when she, by chance meets Sam's doppelganger Fran everything changes.

I loved the unique theme of the story. It is a good, short read with a unique story plot which has never been explored before.

The Doppelganger is definitely a must read by everyone, if you wanna read something different yet interesting.

Review-Deep Downer's The Time is Now

The Time is Now 
by 
Deep Downer

BLURB

What possibly could an Ex-Major, an Ex-College Professor, a bookstore manager, and a college student have in common? Has fate brought them all together to rekindle some old flames or to start an entirely new one?

The Time Is Now is a short, sweet, unusual, un-cliched, and a mature love story. With just four main characters and one locale, the story is like a leisurely walk around the park on a pleasant summer evening that relaxes you and recharges you at the same time. It is sure to leave you with a mirthful feeling in the end and possibly moist eyes too.

My Review:

A short and mature love story in a unique writing style. As the author has mentioned beforehand that it is an experiment, I will say the experiment has been successful.

With just four characters, the author has successfully managed to weave such a touching romantic story, accolades for that.

Love the ending of the story. Nice book cover, clear and developed characters, simple yet full of suspense which is maintained till the climax of the story are some of the plus points of this book.

This is the first work of D R Downer which I read and I must say really loved reading it. The Time is Now is definitely a must read.

Book Review-Randeep Wadehra's The Curse

The Curse

by 

Randeep Wadehra

Blurb

Through peace, it’s justice we seek!

The hunter will meet the fate of the hunted

And the mighty will serve the meek!

Twenty years ago, a corrupt President, a greedy industrialist, and a sycophant policeman uprooted the tribal people from their own land and burned their houses. Twenty years later, the Republic of Bodh is in danger from a similar evil troika.

The curse uttered by a frail tribal woman during the carnage twenty years ago has inspired Jwaala, the only female leader in the Senate, to reform the Republic of Bodh.

But the same curse has turned Saaya, once an innocent victim of the massacre, into a relentless killing machine with a mission to prey on the predators.

Even when the Republic spirals into a storm of scandals, the greedy and corrupt President Chaupat is torn between his lust for a dancer and his unrequited passion for his wife Kaamini.

Will Saaya succeed in his mission or will Chaupat thwart his efforts?

Will Jwaala, orphaned in a violent attack, be able to turn the curse for the greedy into a blessing for the poor? Will she succeed to save the Republic from another ensuing bloodshed?

The Curse is a gritty political thriller about people who have lost much to greed but want to transform their nation.

My Review:

The Curse is a fast-paced, political thriller with a detailed outlook of politics, politicians and their life. 

This is the first time I have read author Randeep Wadehra's work and I must say, I loved reading his book. His detailed description, choice of names of characters which matches their personalities is definitely a highlight of this book.

The book has all the required mix of a political blockbuster and, in right proportions. Though the language used is a bit of heavy-duty, the flawless editing, the suspenseful storyline, all makes the book an interesting read.

The Curse is definitely a must read by one and all especially if you have an interest in politics.
