I got excited when I knew that the Marriage Mistake Series' next installment is out. “The silent child” by “Loretta Lost” is a riveting read, if you are curious about what it is like to raise a child who willingly wants not to talk.
Veronica is a single mother who is digging the past to know the reason why her only daughter Kayla stop talking. On this journey, many layers opened, and many old relationships rejuvenate. I will not talk more about the story as it will be a spoiler.
The plot is so intriguing, there is a tension, unease, and romance while reading a plot that keeps me on the absolute edge of my seat as I explored the depths of depravity that can occur when the weakest minds of human society are placed in the care of those who have dark hearts. I got surprised by reading what wrongdoings can people do in the name of religion. I admire how tactfully Loretta blends the present Covid situation with the story.
Overall, this is an enthralling read and recommended to all.

‘Life is a form of memories, emotions, imaginations and then, a death of all. It’s moving, multiplying, exploring, and creating its own creations. It is to be more than a soul—with a shape and purpose.’
“Creation’s Creator: Nature’s Reincarnation- The oath of Revenge” by “Piyush” is a work of fiction with a mystery subgenre.
The book starts 3500 years ago from the present with an emotional conversation between Krishna and Balram. Then moving forward, the story sets in the 1980’s Madhavpura. Malay and Bindu living in this small village with their children, one day they asked by “Debda” to leave the place and shifted to Gujarat to fulfill a task. “Debda” with magical powers is a friend and a guide for this couple. Who is “Debda”? What is a task for which Malay and Bindu have to leave their place overnight?
Coming to the book the plot has its distinctive style that sets mystery with a philosophical angle from “Bhagwat Gita” One of the strongest features for me is the development of a wide range of interesting characters and their interplay in one another’s lives. There is a lot in this book, which makes the story in some points ambiguous and stretchy.
Apart from this, this is truly a read which will reflect many life lessons and will be liked by the readers who love Indian mythologies.
