Echoes by AakritPathak

My book review of Echoes Thank you for asking me to review your book AkritPathak, I really enjoyed reading it! 

Cover: I have to say I really like the fuzzy picture of a house I'm assuming at the bottom of the cover, and I think it has a connection to the plot as to me it kinda looks as if it's just an illusion and it's just my imagination playing tricks on me which is what your story about, I also love the quote as well, it really compels the reader to want to find out more.

Description: I gotta say that was a really good description every line you kept on building up the dramatic tension and this blurb even though it's short and simple it still contains so much information, the blurb highlights the important parts of a story and you've done a great job on it, this was very well thought out.

Storyline: This is such an interesting concept, I've never read a book like this before, anyways the story is about a woman named Anais Bailey who was abducted and was auctioned of to the man in charge of the business named Alyan Mazen, and after he brought her, unfortunately for Anais her life didn't improve in fact it was just as bad, and she's barely just holding on to her sanity. A thing I wonder is whether Alyan is imaginary or if he is actually real. I appreciate how you didn't make Anais actually fall in love with him, so thank you. This is just my suggestion but I would really like to see Alyan's POV, to see his side of things, this was a really good storyline.


Characters: I think Anais suffers from Stockholm syndrome which is not surprising seeing how broken down she was by her abductors, also I can't imagine how painful it is to have your tongue cut out and not being able to talk anymore, I really hope she finds a way to escape. Alyan is the one who's in charge of the whole human trafficking business that Anais was auctioned in, he's a very complex person, he has so many different personalities so it makes me believe that he's bipolar, Anais really needs to run away from this psycho.

Grammar/Spelling: You've used so many different techniques that it's just amazing, I like how you included a little poetry in your story, you wrote in the second point of view which I am really impressed by as it's tricky to do but you've pulled it out of the bag and also love your descriptions you make me feel as though I'm in a way reading some personal like a diary.

Engagement of the reader: Reading further into the story, it just got more and more sadder. I was so emotional while reading this book, I really wanted to somehow find a way to help Anais. I've been on such a rollercoaster of emotions. Honestly, all I want is for her to be happy again.
