oracle_of_madness 's review for:

The Night of the Storm by Nishita Parekh
3.5

This was a great read but, unfortunately,  did not hit hard as a thriller.   

Jia is a single mom of 12 yr old Ishaan.  Her divorced status makes her almost a pariah due to her Indian culture.  When Hurricane Harvey hits Houston,  TX, Jia must take her son to her sisters home and into an unknown danger.   

What I loved about this book was the intricate details on Indian culture and the different families/siblings' lives and relationships.  I loved how in-depth the author went with each character's background.  The main issue I have with this book was how the thriller aspect of the story just didn't have my full attention.   However,  as a family drama, this was excellent. 

Out January 16, 2023! 

Thank you, Netgalley and Publisher, for this Arc!
