DARK PLACES BY GILLIAN FLYNN

-
I highly recommend every person to read this terrific novel by Gillian Flynn.

“I was not a lovable child, and I'd grown into a deeply unlovable adult. Draw a picture of my soul, and it'd be a scribble with fangs.”

Okay I have a habit of making assumptions about what will happen at the end and usually note it down somewhere, so that I don’t forget the points. Usually I can easily predict the ending. But with Gillian Flynn, I am always defeated and left off guard. I even tried to predict Sharp Objects' ending and I was bolted from the blue. I mean seriously! What goes on in her head? She writes about horrible people doing horrible things. From the starting of the story she kept me hooked till the very end. I really loved the characterization and her writing style. It has a unique touch to it, which every author aspires for.




The story starts with a girl named Libby who survived a horrendous massacre when she was only seven and her mother Patty and two sisters Michelle and Debby were killed. Libby’s older brother Ben was allegedly held guilty for the murders. There were rumors that he was a Satan worshiper. After 24 years, when Libby turned 32 she was left with no money which she usually got from her well wishers and now she needs to find some other source of income. She managed to find a ‘KC’ club who is willing to offer her money only if she meets the suspects from the night and report her findings to the club. So, what does KC stand for? Kansas City? Noo!! KC stands for Kill Club, which is the weirdest club name I've ever heard. Or  does it just sound weird to me??



Kill Club is formed by the people who have a deep interest in the big crimes that happen in Kansas City. The people in there have their own theories about the murders that had happened. Libby meets some people there, who believed in Ben’s innocence and tried to convince her to re-investigate the murders. When she meets some people out there, she starts believing her brother isn't the killer after all. All that is left to find out now is who killed the Day family, and after all these years truth is going to be even harder to find.

ME BEFORE YOU BY JOJO MOYES

Blurb:   Lou Clark knows lots of things. She knows how many footsteps there are between the bus stop and home. She knows she likes working in The Buttered Bun tea shop and she knows she might not love her boyfriend Patrick. What Lou doesn't know is she's about to lose her job or that knowing what's coming is what keeps her sane. Will Traynor knows his motorcycle accident took away his desire to live. He knows everything feels very small and rather joyless now and he knows exactly how he's going to put a stop to that. What Will doesn't know is that Lou is about to burst into his world in a riot of colour. And neither of them knows they're going to change the other for all time. I hesitated first to read this book because romance genre is not my cup of tea.  Romance genre seem to be always average for me.  I tried to read some books to change my perception but only disappointment comes in. So, I convinced myself to read this book and I was...

PERCY JACKSON & THE LIGHTNING THEIF

Arrrghhhh... PERCY JACKSON!!! Okay. I've had this book since a really long time, but never read it because? I seriously can't remember the reason anymore. I cannot believe I've waited this looooong to get to this book, because this book is everything! So to start, the best thing I like about this series is that it's set in the 21st century, so it's relatable (well not in a demigod-ish camp-halfblood way). The character development is amazing, and so is the friendship development. Also the way this story just molds with Greek Mythology and has so much greek elements to it is just so fascinating. All those Greek Gods and stuff! This book is about a boy named Percy Jackson who has special needs. He is dyslexic and has ADHD (but there's a reason for that). His father is Poseidon –YEAH THAT'S RIGHT!! THE FRIGGING GOD OF THE  SEA (how cool is that?).  So he's dyslexic because his brain is 'hard-wired' to read ancient Greek and ADHD is jus...
