About the Author


Gabriel Valjan is the author of the Roma Series from Winter Goose Publishing as well as numerous short stories. He lives in Boston, Massachusetts, where he enjoys the local restaurants, and his two cats, Squeak and Squawk, keep him honest to the story on the screen.

'I have read the fifth book from the book-series 'Roma Series of Gabriels Valjan' . The cover of the book was not so appealing (Actually it is worst of all his five books) , the reason behind i did not sneak time initially to read the book; and the second reason i postponed reading this book was the length (Although my busy shedule and lots of review proposal are primary reason i can not give much time to review this book)
But when i finally dare to read the book; the discouraging lots of characters with complicated and confusing names (i wondered whether this is any hystery book or what?) i jumped to first chapter- dissapointed i gave another chance  and reached to Second chapter- took over my brain; all previous assumption vanished; i could not control and went on reading. 

The fluent writing, brainstroming discussion of mysterious murder case by bunch of characters and step by step revealation of mystery kept me connected with the book.
Nice Plot, narration, climax are plus points. The protagonist Bianca daring invesigator cathches heart. Other characters are not given enough footage, but it is ok because in suspense thriller plot is the character which requires attention and author has done. But i miss actual narration of scenes and investigations, rather than hearing it described by other character- it seems someone is giving you information and the protagnosit does nothing except sneaking that information while resting in her abode. I excpected some real action but dissapointed.
However book does not dissapoint in all aspect, it is good in other aspects- suspense.' 


Who should read?
Those who are fans of talkative holywood thriller and hates action.

Who should not read? 
here is no romance, no heart throbbing action.

My suggestion:
If you want to  relax and want to have sound sleep; take this book and start reading.

About the Book


A Dante-ish descent through a sinister world of decadent shadows and woeful souls…

Seven years ago, he shattered her life. The town eventually forgot the headlines and the

nightmares. But 23-year old music student Angelica hasn’t forgotten.

For the past seven years, she’s contemplated payback with as much intensity and unwavering

faith as she puts into her violin playing. Finally, all the pieces are in place. Over the course of

one night, disguised for a masquerade ball, Angelica orchestrates a journey of revenge.


The story revolves around the girl who wants to take revenge, and intermittent flashbacks of her life. The well woven and planned plot of the book, is the plus point of the book. The story progresses slowly, but as i am reading the second novel of the author; i think her stories are always with slow pace. Zoe  Kalo is used to write character' mind and reader gets involved in the novel; the same thing is repeated in this novel.
Length of the book somewhat short but it does not effect the book; and i will not like to say about the climax because it will spoil the reader' book.
so get the book from kindle and read it our this 2-3 hours reading novel...

The Secret of God's Son by Usha Narayanan

The Secret of God's Son 

by Usha Narayanan


"Mythological story depicting struggle of Pradhyumna"



Pradyumna son of God Krishna is worried of the Gandhari' Curse. He Seeks help from God Shiva and gets his Trishul to bring back Vikarna from Yamloka. But Gandhari can not revert her curse; dissapointed pradyumna does not lose hope and continues struggles to decrease the effect of Gandhari' curse. And there is one powerful weapon still-the secret surrounding his origin. Will he uncover it in time to fight off the cataclysm? In the answer lies the destiny of all humanity!
Usha Narayan is back with one more mythological story after successful Pradyumna. Usha Narayanan had a successful career in advertising, radio and corporate communications before becoming a full-time writer. She is the author of several books including The Madras Mangler, a suspense thriller and Love, Lies and Layoffs, a light-hearted office romance. The Secret of God’s Son is the sequel to her bestselling book Pradyumna: Son of Krishna which was published in 2015. When she’s not juggling writing, editing and interviews, Usha reads everything from thrillers to romances, provided her cat isn’t fast asleep on her Kindle.

The book includes many small stories from the Great Epic The Mahabharata. And it is impossible to reach the level of  Rhishi Ved Vyas, the original writer of  The Mahabharata. But author has tried to put the part of the great epic in simple and novel form to readers. Pradyumna and Gandhari's curse centred story neither lose flow nor leaves the subject.

The author has successfully pictured the protagonist -Pradyumna without affecting image of other characters. Maya the wife of Pradyumna emerges as an important character in the book. Story continues smoothly, with added interesting small stories of God Krishna and God Shiva. Average reader might will have difficulty to understand few words used by the author and that may affect the interest in reading of the book. Till yet the book does not let go away the reader because of the strong plot full of twists and magics.

Cover page is interesting and attractive.

The book could have at higher level if the author would have written better words at some places in book. The book is really good read, but it is not comparable to Mythical book available in verbal language. 

Who should read?
This is the breakfast for mythology lover and interested in twists and turns

Who should not read?
Only those who hate reading

Grab the copy and read...
