From the day I started taking interest in books, thrillers have always topped my chart. From the first line to the last, selected thrillers ensure to not just keep you engaged but also crave for what’s going to happen next. If you have been in a committed relationship with thrillers, then you would also agree that thrillers give you some serious adrenaline rush as well as give you some astonishing scream moments. I am yet to categorize this amazing book into a single genre for it has a mixture of everything. You have the perfect combo of romance, thriller, political whirlwinds and a lot more. Here is a little brusque of the story.

Rising corporate star Reeva Rai is offered a prestigious position in a top-notch PR agency. It is the opportunity of a lifetime. But working with Enigmatic Billionaire Kunaal Kabi was not going to be easy. Even as she develops feelings for him, she is determined to prove herself.

But when an activist friend turns to her for help with a real-estate scam, Reeva has to make a high-stakes choice. Can she retain the credibility of her prominent clients while helping hundreds save their homes? As she digs deeper to find solutions, a nefarious scheme unravels with unexpected connections. A no-holds-barred race ensues, blood is drawn and Reeva is trapped in the eye of a political thunderstorm. If she succeeds, powerful people will have much to answer.

Characters and plot setting are the prominent elements for a successful thriller. In this book, the author has refrained from entangling the story line and has given each character precise attention. The story built up is apt as you go on a thrilling roller coaster ride with Reeva and her story. The book aptly highlights varied human emotions like love, hate, animosity, vengeance, friendship and so on. This book got more and more intriguing with the turn of each page. To avoid unwanted spoilers all I would say is that the story has multitudinous angles all compelling you to question in the end say, “What’s next?”

It shows how the life of the female protagonist turn upside down for once when she decides to change her tracks. Some characters have a serious dark side adding up to the spice quotient. They rightly say that the lust for power is unending. With Reeva on the chase finding answers while imaginatively being a part of the story is what Trust me Not all about. Christmas is just a few days away so be your own Secret Santa and let this book give you some thrilling company.
