🖤 HAPPY PUB DAY ‼️

Experts say that crimes being committed while sleeping is a real phenomenon yet rare. Anna O is a suspenseful and captivating psychological thriller that revolves around Anna who was found asleep in a cabin with a kitchen knife beside 2 bodies of her best friends in 2019. Despite numerous attempts to rouse the suspect, Anna remained asleep and unresponsive.

After 4 years, the authority gave a temporary release to her into secure custody for a new treatment plan. Dr. Benedict Prince, a forensic psychologist claimed to have developed a new diagnostic method to wake her up from resignation syndrome theoretically. The only way to help Anna is by discovering more about her past.


Perhaps it really intricate murder case but to claim a perfect murder is a too strong statement. Anna's obsession with a true crime likely has led a secret events leading up to murders. This book was a slow burn that turned into an inferno. 4.3 ⭐️

The Year of the Locust by Terry Hayes

I was being punked by reading this book. It's more than just a spy thriller. My thoughts about this brilliantly written was the finest depictions of an epic journey. The book is narrated by a Denied Access Area spy under the codename Kane. He made numerous attempts to find the most dangerous terrorist, Roman Kazinsky. He was a military commander of a terrorist group called the Army of the Pure. He tracked him from Afghanistan to Russia until he ended up at Baikonur Cosmodrome. The mission was a bust and disaster. Kazinsky gone.

As a decent reader, this part gives one real-life insight into the world of espionage with all its twist. Ironically, after 500 pages miracle happened!

Cosmodrome had led the way into space and started to mine asteroids. Obviously the spore came from off-earth. All had collapsed and burnt out. Earth is in the middle of a war zone. In the same period, Kane had survived in a sunken submarine. To work in hybrid genres is an outrageous plan. But TH has made it. Yes, I love the outcome! 4.5 ⭐️

Fearless by M. W. Craven

I was sceptical when he claimed that he had a rare recessive genetic disorder called Urbach-Wiethe disease. On rare occasions, the opposite happens making him immune to fear. Ben Koenig was a marshal. He was with the Special Operations Group of the government who hunted the bad guys. He'd survived an international contract for six years. His character is the perfect leading male. Pragmatic, dangerous and good at hand-to-hand combat.

But someone's gone to a great deal of trouble to find him. On doing a favour for a friend tracking down his missing daughter, he must stay low or the $5mil bounty on his head is still ongoing.

I've enjoyed this book so much. With Ben's witty humour, well-drawn characters, and suspenseful scenes, I think no one has ever done it quite like Fearless. The abduction is somehow linked to an illegal operation which completely cinematic thrill and no correct moral positions are needed. 4.5 ⭐️
