Ok. I know AMBARISH RAY and I never expected this from him. This is a mother of an MIND F#$K. It raises an ethical question, does the author has the right to blatantly force a reader for a ride without an agreement or argument. Why did I buy this book? Is a different question after… Read More »
Ok, I am firmly going to blame Juggernaut books for trapping me to read this genre after many years.

The plot is full of characters drawn together to fit a jigsaw puzzle. Pity, the readers complete it with many pieces yet to be picked. It is… Read More »
