The Invincible Assassin: He Chose 5 Lives but Vowed to Spare 1
He was an intelligent and notorious devil who emerged directly from the depths of nightmares, both intriguing and frightening. Gifted with the ability to escape capture for decades, if not for a particular day, he would have never been chronicled into the crime records. he dreadful challenge to the crime squad department was that his targets were exposed to the world before he began his hunt; a deadly and dangerous game. Their duty was to protect them from his clutches. To their misery, the death of a famed Godman shocks the nation.
The horrors inside his mind spilled out into the world and into the ordinary lives of those 5 random individuals, without any recognisable pattern or logic, until his motives were exposed by a crime squad officer by tracing and decrypting every piece of puzzle at microscopic close.
He kills, not for passion, fun or revenge, but for a definite mysterious goal. After each assassination, a dark secret surfaces creating shockwaves from the clues of his letters. He justifies his assassinations by claiming they are destined to happen, with links to many incidents, starting from the very inception of the world, Vedic writings, Ramayana and Mahabharata, to the present-day Yuga.
Were these deaths linked to Godman? Was he a serial Killer or Psychopath or Avatar? Was the crime force successful in hunting that Invincible Assassin finally?

A invincible thriller
The invincible Assassin is the story of a psychopath who is a killer and the police force including Mr Vyas and journalist Nevidha. This whole story is about getting revenge as well as wealth, power and respect. The psychopath plays the usual game with the police of giving the opportunities to catch him which the police force as usual fail and results in death of the victim. This story has reference of puranas including Mahabharata. Author has tried to create a small scene from mahabharatha relating the death of the 4 victims. The antagonist has a belief that if he kills 4 people he will become powerful like a human sacrifice to attain something big. The concept of the story is good, in between some parts like discussing the possibilities could have been avoided because it does not justify of the possible are true or not and can confuse the reader. There were many instances where it was little hard to find who is talking with whom. For example, at times nivedha and Vyas are talking to the group and suddenly they are alone and a romantic scene is created which is little confusing. Due to the possibility discussion between the Police team the revelation becomes little confusing. This book can be made as a Bollywood movie which would be better than book as there will also be a visual help which will decode things that were little confusing in the book. Overall I would say a ok Goodread ... 😊

Worth reading!!! Title fits well to its story. I am wonderstruck at the storyline and the way the Suspense was taken to its heights. Great Climax! Background of the story had a indian puranic touch that spices up the whole plot.

I got this book from the publisher, free of cost, in exchange of an honest review from my side.
Firstly I would like to thank the author and the publisher for giving me this opportunity of reading and reviewing this book.
I loved this story!!! It's awesome. The characters are developed and mature and the dialogues are to the point and crisp. I loved the mystery and suspense, it kept me hooked to the story till the end. I could not guess the villain till the big reveal. This is one of the few books I have read by an Indian Author and I loved it.
The writing style of the author is remarkable and the detail descriptions that he delivered here through his enriched words really won over my heart and made me a part of the world that the author created so beautifully and most importantly the execution is brilliant which really made me believe in the plot and the characters.
The story is totally unpredictable with unknown twists and turns that are sure to shock you. The background information is good and I didn't feel lost while going in to the details referring to the Hindu Epics as I haven't read them. Over all a great read that I would definitely recommend to all the fabulous readers out there. I'm sure you guys will enjoy this fresh and unique story as much as I did.

Most of the plots begin with very promising thrills and gets build in a very complex manner but, loses grip as it progresses and falls flat in the end. This plot is unique because of its suspense that was maintained until the end. The mind of the readers wander thinking who the killer and the motive that get's revealed only in the last few chapters in a very logical manner. The author appears to be heavily inspired by crime plots investigation skills and applied his deep thoughts to bring into a thrilling product.

Invincible Assassin story involving mind games, deception, dreadful crimes mocking Crime department to saves the lives of victims who are planned targets for the assassin known by Crime team and victims. Time is running short for each life as the Crime team is trying to solve the dark secret behind the killings.
Just when the mystery seems to unfold, author traverses the reader with multiple twists leading to the five lives at stake. As the clues left by assassin are tied with long forgotten mythological facts to be unraveled. Reader is left wondering did a "Perfect crime get committed" or " the Law caught up up with Assassin?
Unexpected surprised twists keeps reader guessing all along until mystery is resolved. (Read the entire book in few hours straight. A little slow start for few chapters and then the authors ability to bind the reader to know the answer for "Did Law catch up with Assassin!!! ensured it was a plot to remember for!!!

A great calculation and background work done by the assassin to have the victims meet their destiny. Escaping from watchful eyes, diverting the followers, he succeeded in his duty.
A cop and the reporter were a great combination for their love story. Though the suspense regarding crime was Irrelevant to the love story, Surprisingly as the suspense grew, For their hearts bloomed out only to realise their desperation for each other. The romance between them was sweet.
Bit lenghty of some chapters yet, required since it has analysis.
Few Known incidents from our mythology dragged little, author could have written targetting the new readers who don't have much knowledge on our legendary mythological episodes

Although I am not an avid reader, a Friend suggested me to read the book. I have purchased the Amazon Kindle version.
Until now I have almost done with 30% reading this book and my opinion about the book
One of the first things is the cover page. Vinod has mentioned about Mahabharata, Shiva, and Ramayana gives an additional help to me as a reader to know about the epic, as I have not read them in the past
Chapter-by-Chapter has been interesting and suspense and thriller is getting more interesting with every read...
Ill post more comments as I complete reading this book...
For those readers, who love reading unlike me, I definitely can recommend buying this book.

Surely this book deserves a 5S (Super) star rating and you will understand only after reading this book why it deserves. The number 5 and the letter S have lot of importance in this story. The story revolves around number 5. Many situations in the story linked to our Puranas which clearly shows the authors profound knowledge. The story is nicely written and it included every bit of details that can happen during a conversation and that helps us to visualise every situation in the story. I think first time in my life I waited for even a minute free time to read this book in a curiosity to know what will happen next. I wish the author all the best and look forward to next one.
P.S: coincidence: I ordered this book on 27-03-2018 (2+7+3+2+1+8=5) and started reading it on 05-04-2018 (date 5th😊)
