Sirens Spell Danger

From the book blurb

There are sirens and, then, there are sirens. Some warn you of danger and some lure you into danger. Lured by a sexy siren, Vicky is mistaken for a secret agent, kidnapped, tortured and slated for death. Will he survive and save Bangalore from going up in flames?

There is a serial killer loose in the city leaving mysterious messages around the bodies of the victims. Are the messages a challenge to the police or a siren call to lure another victim…

Jay is sent to Bellary to investigate a possible ISI plot. Was it merely a murky political plot or was there something more sinister in the offing? And why were two women suddenly singing siren songs of love?

Three tales of nerve-racking suspense and pulse-pounding action.

What I think

This is a brilliant set of novella. Each of the story is woven around the same theme. However, the flavors it carries is very different. The narrative is pacey and the editing is commendable.

Novella as a style is new in India and I enjoyed reading it. Each story can be completed in one sitting and demands less time. Yet it leaves an imprint in our minds like any other novel. Novellas a thumbs-up for all those who don’t prefer short-stories and who don’t have time for novels. The three authors have collectively understood this fact and have moved wisely.

I also appreciate the fact that the authors have released it as E-book. These days there are so many authors popping up at every nook and corner that getting a good publisher and marketing the same is becoming a challenge. E-books acts as a platform that brings the budding authors and addictive readers in one platform. It is cost effective and also provides ample opportunities to get noticed in the crowd!

One more thing. None of the three authors sounded like a new-comer. The flow is unbelievable and I have to mention Radha Sawan here. SShe has put across so much of efforts and research into her work.

Should you read it?

Please go for it. It is engaging, pacey, gripping and an assured page-scroller!
