Join Me In Death
It feels as if she was never anything but a figment of his imagination.
Aryan meets Rashmi on a trekking trip and is convinced that she is the one for him in just one evening. But once back in Delhi, Aryan discovers that Rashmi’s phone is switched off, and that she is not on social media; it’s as if she never existed. Unable to accept he has been ghosted, Aryan vows to find out the truth. And one day, he does.
Rashmi died on the same trek one year ago.
Now Aryan prowls the streets of Delhi, hoping to find answers. Obsessed with his quest, he sinks deeper into a quagmire of deception and murder. He becomes the judge, jury and executioner, swinging his axe at all who stand in his way. How far would you go for a love that never existed? Would you die for it? Would you kill?

Revenge is a dish best served cold, and this book takes us on an intricate journey of vengeance beyond the grasp of the human mind.
Aryan, our protagonist, experiences a chance encounter with a mysterious woman who leaves an indelible mark on him before vanishing into thin air. Months later, at a party, he uncovers bewildering truths about this enigmatic woman, launching him into a downward spiral of hysteria. The path Aryan follows leads to dire consequences, not just for him but also for those who are owed justice.
The story’s supernatural elements add a spine-tingling twist, blending seamlessly with the police’s behind-the-scenes maneuvers and a gripping criminal investigation. This combination makes for a thoroughly entertaining read.
The twist at the end is the true masterstroke. Throughout the book, I endeavored to peel back the layers, eager to decipher the clues and confident in my ability to predict the outcome. Yet, the book outsmarted me at every turn.
If you’re searching for a quick page-turner or need a boost to break out of a reading slump, this book is exactly what you need. It promises to ignite your enthusiasm and keep you hooked from start to finish.

I'm still reeling from the experience of reading this thriller! From the very first page, I was hooked by the expertly crafted plot, which twisted and turned in ways I never saw coming.
The author's masterful storytelling kept me on the edge of my seat, desperate to unravel the mystery. And when the truth finally emerged, I was blown away.
What impressed me most was the meticulous attention to detail – not a single loose end was left dangling. The result was a narrative that felt both satisfyingly complete and mind-blowingly shocking.

A very interesting read about revenge. It is the story of how a simpleton boy, Aryan Sinha is pulled into the web of crime committed against his love, Rashmi Agarwal and sets on the path to avenge the wrong doings. The author has done a great job in designing the charcters and you can actually feel your blood boiling as you go along with the narration. The author has kept the plots simple and interesting without delving much into the ghory details, thankfully. The story is well written and the climax is worth it.

Unbelievable twist at the end - you did not see it coming i bet -
What starts as a Horror/suspense thriller ends up in one of the best plot twist - yes the book leave somethings unexplained but i dont think it becomes a deal breaker.
A gripping what comes next thriller
