Review: The Grownup

The Grownup The Grownup by Gillian Flynn
My rating: 3 of 5 stars



View all my reviews



The story follows a sharp-witted woman who does a handjob and some petty astrometry to meet her ends. One fine evening, she comes across a mysterious wealthy woman, named Susan Burke who claims there is something eerie in her Victorian home. Considering this offer as a source to earn a handful of bucks, our unnamed narrator visits Susan's house. This leads her to discover petrifying series of events related to the Carterhook's mansion.

The Grownup is a short story written by Gillian Flynn, which lurks the brain. The characters are intriguing enough completely entangling the reader with their thought process, with the provision of a vulnerable idea, "whom to believe". The plot unfolds in a very uncanny way and with uncertainties, forcing the readers to come up with an explanation,  for whatever happening!

Review: Queen of Air and Darkness

Queen of Air and Darkness by Cassandra Clare My rating: 5 of 5 stars The amount of pain this book has driven me through is immersive!!! Especially in the first part of the book. Where everything started falling apart, and later in the second part things started to get a little better, it started getting more and more worse. Out of 900 pages, only the last 100 pages were kind of relief and happy-happy moment, yet you are always scared because Cassie can do literally anything in the last 10 pages and be like "Oh I don't think it is such a big deal, ykr I can do worse?!" Also, the epilogue. WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?! I want an explanation of what is going to happen. This Jace from parallel dimension Thule, he's after Clary now. Gosh. My head is already breaking. There were many moments in this book, which made me sob like a maniac. The starting itself was so chaotic, with the death of Robert Lightwood, Livia Blackthorn. During the funera...

Review: The Nine-Chambered Heart

The Nine-Chambered Heart: Free Sampler by Janice Pariat My rating: 4 of 5 stars View all my reviews Beautifully written and absolutely acquisitive, The Nine Chambered Heart deals with exclusively vivid perspectives of 9 different characters who were in relation with the same women through her different phases of life. Our unnamed protagonist is mute throughout the story and you will never get to listen to her side of the same in this book, which makes you perceive that this could be your story or of someone you know! The entire pace of the book is completely lyrical which is Janice Pariat's style of writing and is remarkable. There are no cliffhangers and plot twists  BUT BUT  as mentioned earlier the writing will make you fall for this simple and lucid story. You will meet various perspectives in this story and not a single character is named and all their lucid memories about this young woman. The way each character describes...
