Unsolved London Murders: The 1920s & 1930s by Jonathan Oates
4.0
The book is good. There are a lot of facts present in the book which means there was a lot of research done while getting the book together. I am a fan of true crime and I enjoyed the book but it falls bland at a few places. Despite being a true crime, it could have been more interesting. It would be a perfect five then but for now it is a 4 on 5 for me.
The Vine Eater by Carol Beth Anderson
5.0
I really love how Carol has written the sequel to her amazing book. The plot and writing kept me intrigued throughout.
There are one or two chapters which seemed a little bit dull compared to the others, but, they cannot keep the book from getting five on five.
There's friendship and magic. Beautiful writing and amazing characters. I'm excited for book three!

Privilege (WP Trilogy, #1) by Bharat Krishnan
5.0
Well! I do not have words for this one. This was kind of a new read for me. Most of the times I'm hovering around Fantasy and Crime/Mystery stuff but I decided to give the book a try as the blurb intrigued me.
The moment I started reading the words, I was hooked. The characters are absolutely strong. The emotions of each character are super strong and can be felt through Krishnan's way of words. The story is written from different points of view which makes it an excellent read.
Rakshan has a dream to achieve something (something which has got out of his hands) and due to that he wishes to reach the top. He also wishes to own the powerful drug WP which can help him have everything he wants. But, there is someone who is stopping him from doing so. Who is the one stopping him? What does Rakshan want? To find out grab a copy of this amazing book.
Bharat's way of narrating the point of view of each character seems very different to me and yet very intriguing and subtle. The flow of scenes and the upcoming events set up finely, even when the chapters are divided between the characters. Well, you need to read each line carefully. Miss a line and you might not understand what will come soon.
This is perfect example of thriller. And while I am not someone who likes political thrillers, I definitely recommend this to anyone who is atleast sixteen years old! I hope you all enjoy this book as much as I did!

Black Veil by Greg Jolley
2.0
I thought I'd love this a lot. Beautiful description and beautiful cover. But, never judge a book by its cover implies here. I finished this book because I didn't wish to put in on the DNF'd shelf.
While the plot line is fine, the characters somehow don't add up. The linking between different scenes of the book does not add up.
Thank you Netgalley for the copy!

The Chalice and the Crown by Kassandra Flamouri
3.0
It felt like watching parts of twelve dancing princesses. But, everything just didn't add up. Somehow, i was very much intrigued in the first part. The world twitching between the dark world(nightmares) and real life doesn't seem to adjust into the picture very well.
Yet, I enjoyed it enough to finish it!

A Stranger's Guide by Charlotte Platt
3.0
A good book but the plot line gets predictable here and there. The character development is quite good! I like characters who feel very much normal-like.
While i had fun reading this book, it was not so intriguing that i would give it a five!
