Blurb:

A 17-year-old South Mumbai girl, Pari, is missing from her house. Tanvi Yadav, a senior CID inspector, is investigating the case. While investigating, Tanvi Yadav and her team comprising of sub-inspector Sushant Singh, constables Ravi Rane and Soma Singh, and trainee constable Makrand Rajput learn that Pari has been kidnapped by a tantric. 

Pari’s kidnapping is followed by a number of brutal serial murders of young girls. The entire city is baffled and terrorised. Why are these girls being murdered? Who is behind all this? Will Tanvi Yadav and her forensic expert ex-boyfriend Dr Abram Sheriif solve the mystery.

Will they be able to get over their past and work together? Will Tanvi solve the case while fighting her own demons? Will she be able to nab the murderer and save more girls from being killed? What happens after she is convicted of a murder? The crisp and gripping narration of this suspense thriller begins in a South Mumbai bungalow and ends in an interesting court room drama.

My thoughts:

The cover is so scary for a min or so I had second thoughts about reading this book because simple, I’m not into a lot of spooky stuff I get scared.

There are only a few books which have such strong female characters here we have Tanvi Yadav who is a passionate and dedicated police officer which is a quality imbibed by few and cherished by many.

The story has a lot of black magic as the title suggests tantricks those scary set ups god it gives me goose bumps!!

I don’t want to reveal a lot about the story you need to find out what happens on your own.

The characters are very well developed. Every single character has a personality of its own.

Writing style:

The writing style is spooky and goose bumpy… The way the characters are shaped is what I like the most about this book!1
