Hi Guys,
This is my second book review for Blogadda and
this time it was a difficult read for me as I was busy with a lot of household
works. Also, I was not a Vampire on a hunting mission. Coming directly on the
book, this one is published by Apeejay Stya Publishing, New Delhi and MRP at Rs. 195/- only. The
cover of the book is really beautiful and shows a girl with two blood stained
knives with in a full moon night and someone overlooking what she is doing
through clouds. Overall the covers really helps you pick this one weekend read.
This one will really suits you if you are so much into mystical vampire world.
This book is a great channel between reality, spirituality and twilight zones.
The central character Anu Aggarwal comes to Delhi
from New york
with previous memories that keep haunting her until she finds the purpose
greater than her own loss of beloved lover.
The story unravels itself chapter by chapter with
new characters introductions. She is faced with different challenges to
understand the culture we live in Delhi.
She also understoods the night culture followed by the Vampire world. Mysteries
are unfolded slowly and at the right pace. A strong emotional connections is
felt between the characters mainly Anu and her aunt in Delhi, Anu and Gaurav, Anu and Mr Sharma etc.
Anu falls in love with Gaurav and overcomes the lost Brian from New York. How brian dies
and what happened to him remains a mystery till the end of the novel.
Senaka seems to be a great villain and really
keeps everyone on their feets throughout his introductions and afterwards. He
is the constant source of mystery and drama for this novel. Anu learns dekhan
dekhi culture so closely followed by Indian Society and the preparation
associated with the same also. She does learn a lot from that event which takes
more than 2 chapters and covers the same vividly.
What I could learn from the novel is the
meditational practices to master something in life is repetition with pure
heart. She does learns the lost secret powers of astras so big for her only
through repetitions and chanting. We too can become big if we chant whomsoever
we feel like praying or loving. It can be money, health, wealth, studies etc.
There are connection of threads in this world shown which seems to be strong
and real. I really fell in love with the threads. The writer has beautifully
packaged a story inside a religious belief system and introduction of chanting
to those who doesn’t read these big religious books on meditations etc. He does
arouse my interest in the subject and I loved that I don’t need to read
anything else than this story of Anu finding her way in this spiritual world
with the help of a right mentor. In my case the mentor will be the book Tantra
and Adi. I would give 4 stars out of 5 for the novel. This is a kind of
spiritual book covered in a vampire world and will not be favourite for
everyone. I too struggled hard to complete this one but then I touched some
threads which helped me going till the end of the book. Thanks Adi.
