Blurb: I’m
Rivanah Bannerjee, 23/F/Mumbai. Some of you might already know how my life is
on a razor edge. Those of you who don’t, just know this: I may be killed soon .
. . by the Stranger. I don’t know who or what he is: a ghost, a person or a
figment of my imagination? All I know is he isn’t just one thing: he is sexy
and scary, terrific and terrifying. What I don’t understand is why a young,
harmless girl like me, who works in a big city, stays away from her parents and
has a screwed-up love life, would be of any interest to him. Unless there is
something about my own story that I do not know. . .
In the hotly anticipated final installment
of the Stranger trilogy, Rivanah will learn the answers to her many questions—what
is it that binds her to the dead Hiya? Who is the Stranger? Why has he been
following her all this while?—leading to an intense, breath-taking climax. (Via Amazon)
Verdict: As the blurb clearly states, the story
revolves around Rivanah who has been stalked by a stranger ever since she has
set her foot in Mumbai city. The one who makes her do many things against her
wishes and never leaves her with any choice whatsoever. The mystery of him is
so fearful and at the same time arousing for her that she tends to ponder and
be sad if and when the stranger doesn’t contacts Rivanah for few days. She
finds him sexy and terrifying at the same time. But this time she is sure that
he is definitely back of her life and wishes her harm...or more worse wants her
dead.
Will she be able to gather the facts and secrets of her own life? Will she
finally get a chance to unearth the truth of this stranger? Will she get to
meet him? Will she find out the truth behind Hiya’s death and her connection
with her? Let’s find out……
Positives:
1) Brilliantly sketched story line.
2) Nice cover but could have been better.
3) The characters have been described to perfection.
4) The twists and turns described in the story are
bound to stay with you for days.
To sum up with the review it’s perfectly awesome story line and a sequence
to Marry Me, Stranger and All Yours, Stranger which in itself are well written
novels. The author has grown immensely in the way he projects his story and has
an expertise to turn a series of mysteries without leaving the story overburdened
or letting it lose its charm. This series is sure to be one of his finest works
ever.
All in all it’s a mind-boggling and mind blowing story which will make you
love, hate and at times envy Rivanah’s character. A must read!!!!!!
PS – I am still high and lost in the twists and turn of the story and seems
like it will take me some days to get normal and even consider picking up my
next book.
Ratings: 5 OUT OF 5.
