AGGGTM HOLLY JACKSON "A Good Girl's Guide To Murder" by Holly Jackson has so far been one of the best crime-investigation novels that I laid my hands on, especially since it's about a female student detective who just loves to go over with a fine tooth comb. And oh boy! I do really admire Pip and I became an ardent devotee of hers, to be frank. The series is a trilogy , the first one being "A Good Girl's Guide To Murder" itself. It follows around how Pip(Pippa Fitz-Amobi) overturns every stone to get to the roots of the Andie Bell murder case, who was "allegedly" murdered by her boyfriend ,Sal Sing. Pip is accompanied by Sal's brother , Ravi, throughout the investigation, who has his own share of nicknames for her including the most famous 'sarge' .Pip believes with all her heart that Sal is innocent. And the truth? No spoilers! Find it out yourself folks! And don't get me started on the chemistry between Pip and Ravi....
Aalahayude Penmakkal Sarah Joseph Just for a change , today I will be reviewing a Malayalam novel. "Aalahayude Penmakkal" is a Malayalam novel written by Sarah Joseph. It's the first in the trilogy which includes "Mattathi" and "Othappu" , all revolving around fierce women protagonists in out of the ordinary backgrounds.

However we see how the services of these 'undesirables' are 'desirable' for the city dwellers , a situation where the development of some of few constricts the development of some others. We see conflicts between various social sects, p...
DIVINE RIVALS REBECCA ROSS I came across Divine Rivals while casually scrolling through 'booktube', apparently a really good 'enemies to lovers book' and well...I decided to buy it. And now, here I am writing another review. a literal war between gods and then emotional damage is the main course. The story follows Iris Winnow, who is basically holding her life together with determination and mild chaos, and Roman Kitt, her annoyingly perfect rival at the newspaper. Naturally, they hate each other. 'naturally' , that doesn’t last. Because what’s better than rivals? Rivals who unknowingly write heartfelt letters to each other through a magical typewriter. The story takes a twist when Iris decides to become a war correspondent and Roman following her in the same path as he misses his rival. And then its all bickering, friendship and much more. Speaking of the war aspect ,it’s not just background decoration. It actua...
