My review-
This book is of thriller genre. Karan is an inspector and fails to track a terrorist group and a terrorist attack and loses his wife. Afreen who identified that the terrorist group was living in her house on rent and her boyfriend was one of them went to the police to report a potential terrorist attack but she was late and her family was killed and her house was burnt to remove any evidence. Even they tried to kill her but she escaped luckily. This is the story how she will survive from the trauma of losing her closed ones and how Karan will avenge for her dead wife. This is one of the finest Indian thrillers I have read so far. This follows the life of two survivors who lost their most loved ones and are in danger. However, Karan never gives up and tries to track down the terrorist group and stop them to create more havoc. Karan was my favorite character in the story. He portrayed bravery, intelligence and risked his life to save the nation. Afreen also was a survivor and she was a real-life warrior. Her survival story will also inspire many and was amazing to read. The writing style of the author was easy to go through and the characters were also well described. The different instances in the story were beautifully linked together and the thrill was throughout the story. The book also portrays friendship as well as strong emotions like love, betrayal and revenge The ending was mind blowing and I couldn’t predict the ending at all. The book also covered the sensitive topic of terrorism and how innocent people die because of some ignorant people who believe in their own harmful ideologies. This book was an amazing experience and this was an amazing thriller. I would recommend everyone to read this book and devour in an amazing experience.
Cover of the book-
The cover shows picture of a girl and her cheek has a scar. Both Hindu and Muslim religion are portrayed in the picture showing the transformation of the survivor Afreen and the background has some words that are important elements of the thriller. The cover is very relatable to the story.
