My review What a fabulous, exciting, eerie, shivery horror story which is an absolute thriller too. I loved every word of this book. The prose written simply weaves an air of macabre gruesomeness around the characters. A cold chill winds its way, following doggedly like a never ending shadow. And look at the cover... My … Continue reading Eternal Victim by Dexter Morgenstern

Forget her Name by Jane Holland
My review This is one book where I felt I was Sherlock Holmes, or rather the female, diluted version, of less brilliant and less intelligent one, minus the cheekbones of Benedict Cumberbatch too. I looked at all the characters with doubt and suspicion, holding a magnifying glass to minutely check their words... And I doubted … Continue reading Forget her Name by Jane Holland
Stay with me by Susan Lewis
My review Having read Susan Lewis for a few years now, I expected this book too, to follow the same premise. Emotions and suspense. This book too has them but at a slightly lower flame. There are no intense moments of emotions or suspense. This book surfs gently on all the waves. Leanne comes to … Continue reading Stay with me by Susan Lewis

The Brand Strategist’s Note by Sophia S Ahn
My review Brand - a tiny unubiquitous word, which has 5 only letters in it, but yet when joined together becomes a power, all on its own. We all love the word 'brand' and probably use it practically everyday. But do we ever think about what goes in the background of choosing a name and … Continue reading The Brand Strategist’s Note by Sophia S Ahn

Saturday at Sweeney’s by Ashley Farley
My review This is the fifth book in the installment of Sweeney Sisters. But since I have not read the first four, I have to admit, I read this book as a casual novel without bonding with any of the sisters. Ashley Farley is explanative in her prose, so I could keep up with the … Continue reading Saturday at Sweeney’s by Ashley Farley
Liars by Frances Vick
My review I honestly do not know what I read here. There is a part of me which likes a good story which says - what in this wide world was this? Who are all these twisted characters?

My review Can nightmares playing in one man's head become a reality? Apparently so..... And this is running the theme of this book.

Bring Me Flowers by D. K. Hood
My review I wanted a fast whodunit which was not too serial killery with macabre descriptions. I have been hearing good things about this author D. K. Hood on the social media. So armed with foreboding apprehension about reading a book which does have a serial killer concept, I was pleasantly surprised that it was … Continue reading Bring Me Flowers by D. K. Hood
Chip’s World: Complex #31 and the Caretaker by Thomas Hill
My review There is something so wonderfully exciting to read about one man fighting against the villains. There is something so valiant about the entire concept.

Thoughts
(Pic credit: pixabay) Since I am told I am of a certain age (pretty sure it means elderly) and of a certain status (pretty sure it was derogatory), I decided to make fun of these words. I decided to add … Continue reading Thoughts
Soulflower Lavender Soap
My review Winter being the harshest on the skin, I was searching for a soap which would be gentle and leave my face feeling moisturised. Face having the most sensitive skin, I felt any soap which makes my face feel pampered, would automatically be good for the entire body. Soulflower, being the company which has … Continue reading Soulflower Lavender Soap

Questions
I was asked today, shouldn't my age and my marital status generate respect? Shouldn't a human younger to me call me Ms. Shalini or madam? By calling me ma'am or Shalini ji, does that generate respect? Does that indicate respect? Would calling me Shalini at my behest without a prefix or postfix show that I … Continue reading Questions
