My views:
First of all, let’s talk about the title – SIN IS THE NEW LOVE. The title is quite appealing and focuses or diverts your mind towards a love story but again ‘Appearances can be deceptive.’ Same is the case with this book.
The cover of this book is with a backdrop of busy city with a lone silhouette of a girl standing amidst all the chaos of the city. This is an attractive one as it promises mystery in the story.
The plot of the story is quite a plot in itself. It is full of twists and turns. There is a story within a story, a script within a story. The script acts as the mystery element of the story. The introductory chapters are filled with enough information and stuffs that it fills up with a strange dread and curiosity to know more about the further actions. The starting is there to promise a lot of actions and a great amount of thrill in the upcoming pages.
The writing style is mystical and once the script starts, the words reach another level. The quality of writing is so much contrasting that one cannot believe it is by the same person and that makes this book a helluva lot realistic. Such terrific explanation of emotions and events, such intensity in the words that one may feel the pain and fear and horror in the words. It is enough to give goose bumps to anyone reading it.
Talking about the characters, the main focus was obviously on Ahi, our protagonist, but each and every character in the story has its own importance. I hadn’t read this type of thrilling book in a long time and the twists were unbelievable. The storyline had space for each and every character.
Although a few characters have been dropped mid-way the story by the author, maybe they will be a part of another book, if author decides to publish a sequel. Shamim is one such character whom I would have loved to be explored more. The end of the book is satisfactory and with a sudden twist which gives one feel that the story is yet to be wrapped about.
It seems there is more into the story than it seems. The story is unbelievable with so many twists and surprises. Secrets are spilled, the relations are questioned and there is still a script lurking out there in the story, yet to be published.
I cannot get over the two different writing style of the author. I just can’t stop marvelling over it, one such a jolly tone and one so much painful and realistic. The second one leaves profound impact upon the readers and arouses empathy for the character.
One thing that is the constant factor throughout the story is the sudden changes introduced by the author at the unexpected turns. You cannot predict the end of this book, ever. The end too promises and demands a second book. You cannot simply get over the book like this in just matter of minutes. The proper mixture of events, surprises, shocks, and characters will leave you astounded. The secret of Ahi will leave you amazed although it might be guessed by some readers.
The last page is what makes the need of the sequel a necessity for the closure of the story, so I’ll suggest you all to not to jump to last page and spoil the thrill and shock of the end.
P.S. This was a review copy sent to me by the author and @da_bookish_guy. All thoughts are honest and my own.
