A review by kalikabali
Cult of Chaos (Anantya Tantrist Mystery) by Shweta Taneja

4.0

I was really looking forward to this book not the least because it starred a badass woman Tantric detective (or Tantrist) from Delhi. Cult, Magic (Black and White), Murders et al, this is a book that graphically depicts it all in a simple language and style. It took me some time to get into the rhythm and characters and all the stuff that was shooting out from all sides but once I did, I just couldn't put it down and stayed up until the wee hours of the morning to finish it. And even though the protagonist hates the f-word ("feminist"), this is totally a celebration of feminism. And no, the blood, gore and violence didn't bother me, so well did it sit in the story.
I can't wait to see what Anantya does next.
