Forced to revisit their pasts, Julia and Aaron must now fight to stay alive. As they are pushed blindly from pillar to post, running for their lives and coming face to face with their own fears and insecurities, they will need a miracle to get past Christmas.

Review-

Lets begin with the cover page.It is unique, very creative and successfully generates an air of suspense which attracts the readers. Infact, it is the cover page which actually intrigued me in the first place to go through the entire story. It is Author Arun's second work of fiction and he has done a pretty good job in narrating the story.

As far as the title of the novel is concerned, I think it would have been a bit more suspenseful.

The story opens in a cinematic way which is exactly what you can expect from an author who has a deep penchant for filmmaking. The writing style is simple but very engaging and it grabs its readers on the edges of their seats from the very beginning. Though I felt the suspense part was overshadowed by some other elements after the middle section of the story but it didn't affect my reading experience that much.

The scenes are interconnected, it follows a linear pattern with medium pace.The author has waved the story with a few characters and the character construction fits perfectly with the plot.

Overall, it was a fascinating experience.

Unfortunately I can't reveal much of the plot as it is a suspense-thriller, but one thing I can assure you of is that it is a good one time read. Grab the book today and enjoy.I give this book 4 stars.

Happy Reading
