Hi, I am Tia Bakshi. Nobody knows where I am. Hell, even I don’t know where I am. I don’t even know who my captor is, my blindfold doesn’t allow me to see anything. I don’t even know how this will end. Can anyone be more clueless about their lives?
Tied up in this jilted place I have little to do, but reminiscence my old life. I had it all; a loving family, a dependable friend, a compassionate fiancé, a dream job. I never had time to analyze my relationships then, but now in this god-forsaken place, amid fear and doubts, all I have is time and I can see the cracks I ignored for so long.
And I am forced to question; was my life really perfect? Or was it a perfect lie?
Twisted and dark, Beyond Lies, explores the complexities of the human mind, a mind that can lead to dangerous paths and sometimes, harm the one it seeks to protect.
Alka Dimri Saklani is a novelist and author of the much-loved Beyond Series(Beyond Secrets, Beyond Scars, and Beyond Lies). All three novels in the series are standalone. Her debut novel ’45 Days in a Cancer Hospital’ was longlisted for Crossword Books Award 2013.
Her readers define her writing as intense, though she dreams of writing a breezy read someday.

But believe me she isn’t crazy; she is just a writer.

Who threw whom from the bridge with which the first chapters start ? Was it a murder or accidental case ? Is it a serial killers work or a relatively close one ? Is it about wealth , love or a long hidden secret ? Or a story of revenge from jealousy love . Read the story of samar , tia, simran , Kiara . And let the final pages surprise you.

BEYOND LIES BY ALKA DIMRI SAKLANI FORMAT: KINDLE RATINGS:4/5
It is so difficult to keep psychological thriller lucid, the understandable timeline of past and present actions along with connective writing style, to feel it. And these things I found in "BEYOND LIES."
The opening of the story stroke goes well. Ever since Tia and Samar's story started brewing the birth of love between them with further binds like starting from meetings, scenes, and action time is well progressed in the plot. Tia Bakshi, a 24-year-old girl, born innocent, loving nature, talkative, attractive, beautiful and adorable living carefree life girdled with a loving family, best friend Kiara and fiance Samar until one day found herself locked up abruptly. The darkness enveloped Tia in an unwelcome way after her engagement to Samar. She kept blindfolded, tortured mentally and physically, fed her favorite dishes in less quantity by her captor. Every day she lived in terrific fear although she kept hope that one day her loved ones will find her anyway.
Samar held some past secret which he never thought that it could ruin his life completely. It's the love triangle that led to jealousy so deteriorating which led three lives in danger zone. No matter what, truth always comes out by just one ray of hope. Now, Tia is held captive in a dark room all alone, on the other hand, Samar is trying everything, out of her might to find her lost love.
This book is mysterious and keeps the reader engaged until the edge of the story. I read preface before starting the story and when I came back to the edge, then I predicted half of it. Initially, I felt the captor is freaky insane like hell but when she confessed the recording which Samar came to know then this freaky mad captor left me in contradiction.Well, the language is a pretty good and fast-paced train. The narration style is nice and comprehensive as well. The plot setting is well planned by diverging the past and present scenario with characters development.The cover page reveals the preface of the story and connected. The best part of the book is, a beginner can also enjoy this psychological thriller because of easy use of writing style. Yay!
Beyond Lies written by author Alka Dimri Saklani is a nice interesting mystery fiction.
This is my second book from the author (earlier had read Beyond Scars book) . I find one thing in common in both books, the author has empathy for the captor/sinner/stalker who's crazy in/for love.
Plot revolves around three characters mainly Samar, Tia and Kaira. So who is good, who is bad, what's their past/secrets, how they cross each others, impact they leave on the other etc. answers to before and more by reading the book. Plot is interesting and entertaining. Narration is too non linear which makes plot engaging. Characters, emotions and feelings penned are well developed and appear real. Came to know the dangers of being stalked and could feel/perceive the mind of person. Language used by author is simple.
A sweet chubby innocent girl, who lives life on her own rules, calls herself a "prank master" and trusts everybody blindly could never imagine that her innocence and trust could turn her exuberant life into a horrible nightmare. She had a prestigious job, a loving family, a faithful best friend, a caring fiance ; suddenly a stalker dig the nail of lust and suck out the soul from her body. The creepy ups and downs through out the pages make the book unputdownable. How suddenly an incident changes the whole meaning of life! How much can you love someone to keep (or preserve?) them to yourself from rest of the world? The narration is so good , that it makes you feel the pain. 80% of the story was relatable to real life incidents, but rest of it , specifically the climax seemed to be similar to Bollywood movie scripts. Yes, the writing style is good, but some questions are unanswered, which creates a few plotholes. Overall it was a light, fast paced and enjoyable.
A nail biting thriller that keeps you hooked till the very end.
I read such a thrilling book, which made me excitedly look forward to the time I could go back to reading it, after a really long time. The ‘What happens next?’ and ‘OMG, I did not expect that’ moments and elements in this one, make it a great read.
What I liked about the book: —> The story is told from the PoVs of all the main characters, which makes us doubt everyone. —> The end really really takes you by surprise (kudos to the author for this one as I’m usually able to correctly guess the culprit in most of the suspense and thriller books that I read) —> Tia’s character is so relatable, innocent and likeable that we are immediately drawn to her and feel hatred towards the culprit even without knowing their identity. —> Samar and Tia’s chemistry and the way their intimate scenes have been written and narrated. —> The little rhymes that the captor plays to Tia, which give us a sense of foreboding. —> The way it deals with the fact that childhood traumas can mar a person’s mental health for lifetime.
What I did not like about the story: —> Tia’s character is sometimes annoying because of the way she blindly trusts everyone, despite them having done wrong with her. —> I wish there was more to Simran’s and Kiara’s character.
Quotable quotes: —> Isn’t fear the first step towards precaution? —> If someone denies you something, make sure they return to you begging for the same thing someday. —> I don’t know anymore If I nurture my feelings or my feelings nurture me. I don’t know anymore If I destroy my feelings or my feelings destroy me. —> She is innocent. Naïve. And beautiful. Isn’t that a deadly combination to invite danger? —> Kindness is sexy. —> My lonely world wants only you, My heart and soul seek only you, You imprisoned me, How can I set you free? —> Trusting someone is not a sin, but you might be punished for it. —> In real life, who can recognize the monster? Why don’t they have big teeth? How the hell can one recognize the monster hidden beneath an average or even beautiful face? Why were those stories so far away from reality and why the hell were they so widespread? —> I am love, a little too strong, a little too mad, a little too hard. What do you call me? Beautiful or Dangerous? —> You think only people and places can turn to memories? Don’t you? You are wrong. The way you love, hope and hurt; it all can turn to a memory someday. —> It is when the hunger is pulled above the primal level that other feelings raise their head; fear, hatred, anger… —> Sometimes our core is tethered so strongly to the past that we can’t move ahead with it, if we have to move, we must leave those stubborn parts of us. Yes, that means splitting in two, a part that we carry with us and a part that is left behind. —> The mind is like a deep sea, most people just swim on the surface. Some try to touch the depths and swim back to the surface, but there are some like me who can’t swim back, who struggle and collapse in those depths. —> I can’t name that feeling, but I can compare it to a little seed that just pushed out from the dark shell of the earth and sees the sunlight for the first time. That first breath after a long suffocation, that is how I feel in this moment. —> Children who grow up unloved see the world through the lens of insecurity. They believe they aren’t destined to be loved, so when they are, they hold on too tight, too scared the world will snatch away what belongs to them. Their loneliness scares them more once they experience love because then they know what they have been missing out on, they know the vast difference between living a life and merely passing through it. —> Love is a beautiful feeling, hatred is ugly, but love and hatred towards the same person is daunting. —> Sometimes our broken pieces lie in the past. But we need to move on with whatever is left of us.

The prologue of the novel opens with a girl shouting “Loving you was a sin,” and soon she falls from the bridge into the cold water.
On the news channel, the missing report was being shown. The storyline shifts to Samar in Chapter2, while he was in Mumbai working at a multinational company. He staggers and escapes after he listens that he had to interview one ‘Simran’?
Tia Bakshi, a 24-year-old girl, with a loving family, appears later in front of him for an interview. She is charmed by his demeanour. Samar also falls in love with her.”But…when she looked into my eyes, Did she read something she wasn’t supposed to?”
The Dark Room plays a pivotal role in the novel to create mystery with Tia. “Time is vague. Tia isn’t sure how long she has spent here, weeks, months or years.”
“Hey little doll, I love you.” The shrill cold voice passed like a knife through Tia’s gut. Later we can see how past secrets mess up with Samar and Tia. Can they manage to rebuild their trust in each other?
Twisted and dark with sparkling thrills throughout the pages, Beyond Lies, examines various complexities of the human mind, a mind that can lead to dangerous paths and sometimes lead to the destruction of one it seeks to protect. I recommend this book to all who read thrillers.

And the intriguing thing is that the story starts off with a murder case. What is it? What puzzle lies beyond this bridge over the river? Who committed that murder? Besides a 24-year woman named Tia is captivated, kept in a dark room blindfolded for 20 days... Is there any relation between the two cases? Is there anyone in particular behind the two?
