The Secrets of the Dark by Arka Chakrabarti


The title of the book is not selected intelligently. There is a popular game by this title as well and search engines will not give fruitful results for this book if the name of the Author or the Publisher is not added to the search text.

Story line of the game is - Your friend is a journalist who is staying in a seemingly quiet desert town. After getting involved with a story involving the dark forces, he is kidnapped by three dark priests! Now they are getting ready to sacrifice him to provide the Demon of Darkness with limitless power, and it’s up to you to stop them! Save your friend in Secrets of the Dark: Temple of Night, a challenging Hidden Object Puzzle Adventure game! 

I will not be surprised if the readers will try to find a relation of story with the game. “Game of Thorns” hooks close to the story line. It puts a question mark on the originality of the story line.

The cover page of the novel did not grip my attention as it did not compliment the story completely. It doesn't give a reason of a reader who is surfing for books in a book store, looking for an interesting read.

The page and print quality is class and the publisher deserves an appreciation for that.

The story starts very grippingly and the author was successful in leaving an impression. The book is an interesting read and keeps the reader hooked till the end; however end is yet to come! A lot of mystic turns and twists kept me entertained. I would be waiting to read the next book.

Editing is a concern with this book and there was a lot ignored.

This book is recommended as a good read for fantasy lovers and I am glad to see Indian Authors writing something else over love stories.
