Review:
The title defines the plot and the cover hints about the characters and the main theme. The plot is well written with a suspense thriller touch. Language is lucid and the narration is smooth. The story is fast paced and plot is engaging. Many mystery points kept me on edge to read the book. The descriptions of every character is done so well that every character is given apt significance. The imageries are penned realistically.
I really loved the way the concept is developed and how Aradhitha is portrayed. The change in a person’s mindset is shown perfectly. I really appreciate authors work, because this novel isn’t like the usual love story its something out of box.
Overall a unique book with touch of suspense fiction. Do give it a read to discover Aradhitha journey with super powers. Recommended to readers looking for different genre and fresh concept, also to thriller fiction lovers.
Happy Reading!!!!!!

If you are looking for a light drama mixed with psychological thriller and elements like spirits and mystery then what are you waiting for? Pick this book.
I recently finished reading this book and I wished that i could give it more than five stars as i literally had goosebumps when i finished this book. It was absolutely unpredictable and unputdownable. I wish i can make each and everyone read this book who is as crazy for psychological elements as I am.
It is a story of Aradhita who has the power to predict cricket matches as accurate as it can be and not just this but later on, she starts predicting other things as well. Her boyfriend Aarav who was her best friend for years, they soon decide to get engage. They plan a trip out in order to have some quality time together. Gradually as we progress with this book, we see that Aradhita starts getting some sort of vision which indicates that she will be murdered by her boyfriend. She used to get this vision every now and then. Will she trust intentions of her boyfriend or will she believe in her visions and escape? Do you think Aarav will kill Aradhita? I bet you that ending will shock you and shake each and every nerve of yours.
Writing style of this book is so moving and smooth as this book follows a perfect narration for a plot like this. I was hooked to this book since the starting till the very end of this book. This book invites all kind of readers who are interested in a plot like this of course but this book can be read by people who are beginners as well as by people who are looking for bookish language and intense novels.
I really liked how well author maintained suspense in this book and created other elements like friendship and love to keep her readers hooked. When I talked with author and asked her that is this a psychological thriller then she told me that it was not exactly intended to be but somehow it is and then I knew that I am going to be extremely interested in this genre more and more. I really feel so happy that I came across this book and read it.
Don't wait, order this book for yourself and enjoy reading it. Highly recommended.

Review
The ending of the book was awesome and have a fast-paced story with some thrilling experiences.
I liked the concept of the story it is beautifully narrated and the way the author has kept the suspense throughout the book was awesome, the book gave me a great time and revived my reading power which I feel was dead due to my mood swings.
After a long time, I read such a story which made me read fast.
If you are into psychological thrillers then this book is for you and I guarantee you, you will love it.
Happy reading and keep inspiring people to read.
Glimpse in a blink
Aradhita and Aarav both are like nerds who Always keep themselves busy in the study but accept the study they had a huge interest in cricket matches and in that whenever Aradhita predict something that comes true but she never give it thought as something important it was as a general conception about the match but later one day when she predicted the precise outcome and it comes true.
She now started to avoid watching matches because whenever she said something it came true but Aarav kept her calm but he knew there is something strange but he kept those thoughts inside.
They were very close to each other but they never talked about it when Aarav proposed to her she rested her head in his chest and remembered all their little things and said yes to the new beginning of their lives and melted in each other arms.
They announced their togetherness and their family accepted them and were very happy and enjoying themselves and soon it has come to an end when Araav collapsed in Aradhita arms and the thing is she had a vision of Aarav collapsing and it came true.
Does she have any powers or is it something else?

Loved how the book mixed thriller and spiritual mystery together. It was a quick read and didn’t drag out the ending too much. Finished it in one night because the story is so captivating
