Blurb

Joseph and Justine Cross were sent on a simple, straightforward assignment that went horribly wrong. Joseph returned, never the same, and Justine was declared dead. But to Joseph Cross, the story didn’t end. Now, a year later, he is back on the trail, trying to find out the truth. As darkness, misery, treachery and pain rise, he must fight, both on the inside and outside, to figure out what went wrong a year ago.

My Opinion

Scorched by Shivang Duseja is a mystery thriller narrating the tale of Joseph and Justine Cross. Although, the book would not grab your attention right away. But after a few pages the plot picks up speed and the story becomes more and more interesting. The author, with his writing style has woven an engaging plot with simple vocabulary. The characters have been portrayed in a very mysterious way. With each page the mystery deepens and the plot takes a leap. A medium paced book for which you need to have patience for a few pages at least to enjoy the storyline thoroughly. The character development was something amazing which thickens the plot further. The book is going to keep you on edge and some interesting twists with every page.

Indeed, the book is worth a one time read for mystery lovers. Definitely, it deserves 4 stars and recommend everyone to read.
