Mihir, a 25-year-old, accepts a gift which he shouldn’t have. Unknown to him, the sender was no Benevolent Secret Santa. Mihir slowly gets the feeling of something being amiss. Something ungodly. And his doubt turns true.

On the other side, things take turn for the worse, when few children who spend a night in the ‘Shava villa’, an infamous haunted house, start dying one by one.

The Demon has begun his game with a tiny set of gifts. He must be stopped before he could realize the full extent of his powers. Or an unprecedented massacre lies ahead.

Will he ever be stopped? And if yes, then how? And most importantly, by whom?

My Opinion

The Devil's Gift by Prasad Dedhe is a spine chilling horror thriller that can definitely give you goosebumps. It's worth a one time read. The book creates a haunting atmosphere while reading. The characters were wonderful with their storylines. The best thing about this book is how efficiently all the characters have been synchronized to take the story ahead. Each and every one of them has a story to tell with full participation. But, as the plot advances its more of a thriller than horror. The first half of the plot will definitely attract your attention. After that it becomes so interesting that it becomes really unputdownable.

The story somewhat toggles between past and present also. But, it was not at all confusing rather it creates more sensation. If you are looking for a book that thrills you and gives you chills, then go ahead and read it. Thanks to the author for providing me with an opportunity to read and review the book.
