The Rogue Spy is an unputdownable and thrilling novel surrounding mystery, suspense, and crime all around. Adhira, a special agent who is smart, strong and is working to save the country from the upcoming suspected crimes. She, along with her team, is all set to fight with criminals! Would Adhira be successful in it, or something unexpected is waiting for her?

It was an amazingly created, thrilling novel. The best part of this novel is that the novel is somewhat women-centric, and we can see how a woman is not less than men. The writing is good, and the narrative was not rushed, it was smooth. Definitely recommended one!

This is a total edge on seat thriller with all the goosebumps moments involving national security and emergency, Pakistan's dangerous attacks and a very intelligent team of spies ready to stop them at any cost.

Adhira is a rogue spy. She has her own team called Patagon involving the world's best hacker, weapon maker, information handler, resource manager,etc.

I just loved Adhira and her passion towards her work and the nation. She can change her look in every way possible. She can also become a man, wow!

The story is narrated in a very interesting way. I was eager to know what is about to happen next. There is also a love angle which i liked equally. The language is lucid. If you like a total thriller with all twists and turns, just go for it.

Hey, Kritika when is the next part coming???

James Bond, the suave British intelligence agent who first debuted as a film character some 50 years ago is my favourite character when it comes to a book or a movie.

James Bond is a hero through and through and that includes not being afraid of danger. He's self-assured, confident, and unapologetic. He has his elegance. He has sexual confidence, depth of knowledge and sophistication. He is one who embraced the power of technology and made maximum use of it. Ultimately, Bond stands the test of time, because he has always been both of his time and above it. And now imagine all of these qualities in an Indian spy and that in a female spy. Adhira, the female lead of this book is just a James Bond.

The entire story is constructed on the planning and implementation of a terror attack in the Indian capital, Delhi. The author has done a laudable job in describing and developing the characters and events so astoundingly. The plot is attention-grabbing from the beginning to the last page.

The Rogue Spy has all a detective thriller should have - Love, Sex, Infidelity and Death. The Author has concealed virtually the whole enchilada in this 270 pages book and the climax is the way it should be and was predictable for me individually.

Who would you visualise as a spy? It's always a man isn't it? Why can't we imagine a lady spy? Our movie industry has also shaped out this image of a spy into our minds through characters like James Bond. Breaking all these stereotypes Kritika Sharma's 'The Rogue Spy' is a fine example of a fiction where the protagonist is a fierce female spy by the name of Adhira.

A fiction which gives us thrills from the outset itself, Adhira's splendid character framing takes the readers by surprise. From killing off assassins to being the leader of a multi-talented group of individuals, Adhira is simply a character to behold. The book follows the story of Adhira, the rogue spy and how she is forced to take up a mission with the representative of Indian Government, Rudhir, who incidentally was in a relationship with her previously. We see them working as a team through the novel to hunt down some threats to the nation. Though there is cool rivalry between the protagonists yet readers are made to see the chemistry between the two as well as they undergo some serious action sequences.

The book is fast paced with addition of suspense, thrill and action. A worthy read for anyone who prefers to binge read a book rather than watch a spy thriller on an OTT platform.

We have always heard about James Bond and Jackie Chan. Both excel in their field and are quite familiar, one for his acts of spying and the latter for his actions and fighting style. The lead female in this book is no less than a mixture of these two.

This book is about a gang of spies who are on a secret mission to save their country, India. The book keeps you on the edge of your seat until you finish it. The author built the plot from the beginning without letting readers have any other thoughts in mind.

The book felt like a high-octane action thriller film with a series of shocking revelations. The characters were described wonderfully, with all their capabilities highlighted and a proper description of how they landed up being spies.

I personally liked the character of Adhira, who is the lead lady of the book, as she has a very brave heart to fight anything that comes in her way to protect her country at any cost.

Overall, it's a good book which will not disappoint its readers.

The Rogue Spy
Written by Kritika Sharma
The story revolves around a terrorist attack in India and five spies who worked in the formation of its Rogue Spy band.The story is told in 270 pages. It covers all aspects of love, confidence, courage, fearlessness and suicide attitude.

The chief of the five spies was the hero. She was more of a self-confident nature. He maintained his determination, fearlessness and spirit of death.Her passion for the goal is overwhelming.The love affair with the R&AW agent spy and their complicated relationship were different. Terrorist Organizations Their Idea Hate India The violence and deaths caused by these organizations and their consequences are all beautifully presented by the author.

Some scary storylines make the reading amazing. The different attitudes of the characters and the thought activities all combined to make the reading enjoyable overall. Well written and good cover design. Simple language for easy way to read. I recommend you guys.

As you all knows from the title, the story is about a spy Adhira Shekhawat, a devious and a obsessive girl who can die for her country. She is given a task by the home minister and in which Rudhir, her ex boyfriend helped him. She and her team was very proactive and handled all the situations very brilliantly. I liked the way of working and the story kept me glued.

The book was good to read but lengthy also. I liked the chemistry of Adhira and Rudhir especially her changing of appearance was amazing. The story is unique and the book cover is very attractive. The thrill was maintained from the very first page till the end. The only thing that i didn't like about the book was the length of it and it could have easily be reduced if the angle between Rudhir and Adhira was skipped. It felt unnecessary.

This story takes us on a journey with an abundance of twists and turns that left me speechless at the end. I really did not expect that outcome and had to re-read it as I still can’t believe what just happened. I needed to lie down in a dark room to recover!
A must-read book that deserves more than 5 stars. Please believe the hype as this is going to be a massive hit. Clear your diary first, as you won’t want to write this down!
Here we have it...my favourite book of the year.
This was everything I wanted in a book wrapped up in a beautifully written crime action thriller. I have never read anything like this before. The character development is so good and complex. The story development is so well done, and yes, everything makes sense in a very twisted good way.
I am still shocked. The whole book has been crafted very wholesomely. This is one of the best reads of the decade.

My this year's resolution is to read more of Indian writers. Thus, picked The Rogue Spy as it is part of kindle Unlimited. As the genre is spy/espionage, I picked up the book without much thought.

It is fast paced alright. Apart from this element, nothing else is good about the book. Haphazardly put up the plot, no proper research done. A male character (foolish, I must say) who is the reason for various blowing off the cover/identity is still part of the plan

Lot of unbelievable plots. One such scenario is the protagonist has a bug embedded into the skin and she cuts off the entire part of the skin, continues her espionage for whole week and yet she survives with bare minimum bruises! I mean seriously!

I so wanted to like the book. But, Alas!

The Rogue Spy by author Kritika Sharma is a spine chilling thriller book. I personally loved the book because of the female protagonist Aadira. The constant twists that the book takes is what kept my attention firm and I finished the book within a couple of days.
Love also had part to play, which makes the book somewhat like a movie. I had constat imagination going on in my mind while reading the book. It was just like enjoying a movie. I would rate it a five star for all plot twists, for characters, for simple and firm language, for chemistry and of course for portraying the female protagonist with utmost heroism. A definite recommend for thriller lovers!

Inspirational thriller The Rogue spy is written by Kritika Sharma, she has published a lot of books in romance, thriller, novel.

The story revolves around the protogonist named Adhira Shekhawat, an impactful character that tries to solve a rough and tough mission assigned to her. she carries a great Mindset and strength to overcome every fear and do her work effortlessly. This made me think of a women as a great lead or as one-man army once again.

The cover is fierce and language is simple. Book seems a slow pace. Recommended to you all who took keen interest in thrilling stories.

Thriller but okayish

This book is a one time read. It starts with a great storyline and at a very high and intriguing note. But as the story progressed ut kind of felt forcefully stretched in between which got a bit boring.
Moreover the book introduces as a thiller and starts there as well. later it turns into more of a romance that a thriller. So there is a switch in the genre in between which felt boring.
Though the language was simple and easy to read so that's a good point. Beginners can give it a go.

An unbelievable plot featuring super female spy Adhira Shekhawat and her pentagon of crime specialists, an international rogue spy agency.
India is to be attacked by her enemies, Pakistanis, middle eastern terror groups and the sort.
The rogue spies race to protect the country, carrying with them the head of RAW whom they keep cursing and treat like a peon throughout the book. Absolutely ridiculous.
There are unimaginably easily fooled villains and Adhira has immense luck always.
Avoidable.

Good

There are innumerous books on India pak feud and this is one of them. Has intelligencers, action, politics, drama, twists ans turns. principally everything bollywood.
I liked Adhira and how she carries her larger than life personality.
My only complaint is the editing of book, for its further about what you cut further than what you let stay. There were numerous egregious gratuitous rulings which could have been fluently cut short or avoided. The way the characters spoke felt like they're having academic formal exchanges.
else a good story.

Interesting read

Plot is fascinating with sudden twists and turns. Theme is basically of a spy with near-death experiences with the highest "JOSH" one can ever have.

As far as story is contemplated, it is a promising read to spend your time with. It is in fast-paced can be read in one or two sittings. Story has some love angle and the back story of every character is a little dramatic but yes it is funny too.


Altogether, a good and interesting read.

The Rogue Spy is a gripping book full of mystery, intrigue, and criminality that is impossible to put down. Adhira Shekhawat. I love it when the main protagonist is a woman. Not just any woman, a highly professional spy , she is hired by the government to prevent a possible terrorist attack. The book is filled with twists and turns. It is highly fast paced and keeps you hooked till the end. I loved the plot. It is highly engaging and thrilling.

I don't understand why there are such excellent reviews for this book. I could never understand how Mr.R&AW became the chief in the first place. And highly unrealistic spy story ( not sure if we can call it a spy story).
