Slick and Clever. A must read.
                              10 Years Ago 
Zoe was very happy like a normal girl who should be happy as it was her wedding day. She's going to marry a so called "kind and handsome" man named Toby. 
But then she fainted or as she thought that she was. And then she remembered nothing of that wedding. When she woke up, she and Toby are wife and husband. 
                                   Now 
Her life is going perfect. Its been ten years with Toby and they proved to be an adorable couple by all the people in their lives. But things are not what they seemed. Suddenly Toby started lying to her about his whereabouts. Everyone was behaving so abnormally and someone out there don't want this anniversary to be celebrated. 

Well, Shalini is known for her claustrophobic reads and here's no exception. She has created an intriguing plot. Although I didn't understand why she showed ten years after marriage Zoe would know the truth? Why not only five years or eleven years but anyway that's not the matter to discuss in detail.
I loved the characters of Toby, Cassie ( this character is playing a pivotal role), Madeline and Nick. Although Celia and Zoe and the antagonist were good in their jobs. 
Narration of the story is intense as it should be in a pure psychological thriller. 
I hope that all the people who are fans of psychological thrillers and Shalini will love this psychological thriller. 
I'll post a public review on 9th September. And will share it among my fellow Authors Bloggers Followers Friends and Family. 
Thanks to NetGalley and Bookouture for giving me an advance copy of this awesome psychological thriller.

I have mixed feelings about this book. On one hand, the tension leading up to the conclusion was off-the-wall. There were so many questionable things happening, I knew there was an amazing ending in store. Unfortunately, it didn't take me by surprise. I had a pretty good idea of some aspects of the twist. Even more disappointing, one of the plotlines was built up in a way that felt so promising, and its resolution feels half-hearted to me. However, there was a lot to love about this thriller, and hopefully it'll click more for someone else.

Oh my!!! Wow!!! Let's all hail Queen Shalini because this is another absolutely FANTASTIC book. I have no idea how any review will do this book justice. 
I love Shalini's books, they grip me and keep me guessing. This has been no different, I came up with a number of scenarios for where this book was going- all wrong. 
This is quite possibly my new favourite, this book has gripped me and made it utterly impossible to put down until I'd finished. I wish I could experience reading this book again for the first time. 
I have loved Zoe, she is just one of those characters that you love from the start. Shalini's character development really makes you feel as though you know the characters. 
The plot of this is entirely unique to anything I've read previously. It is one that will grip you and take you on a rollercoaster of events. You'll definitely still want more. 
Shalini is an absolute genius, every time I've thought I was close to predicting the plot, something has happened and I've been kept guessing. I adore that you can't predict them. 
This is a truly brilliant masterpiece and quite possibly my new favourite. This is definitely a five star read and Shalini is a fantastic author. 
I absolutely recommend this as a must read.
