I Hear You by Nidhi Upadhyay is a Psychological Thriller book based on the story of Mahika. Facing three miscarriages already, she was losing hope when she got Rudra, the world’s first genetically altered foetus, all thanks to her husband, Shivam, who wanted a perfect creation. But the happiness of having Rudra was soon overshadowed because of the anonymous notes she was getting, letting her question her relationship with Shivam and his perfection. But before she could comprehend what was happening, she was locked in her own home, soon to realise that her unborn son has extraordinary qualities, and he could hear her. But is it enough to free Mahika from Shivam’s cage? What will happen to them? To know the answer to these questions and what happens in the story, read the book.
As someone who reads thrillers once in a while, and that too a psychological thriller, I was so excited when I got it! Having heard a lot about the author because of her previous book, I wanted to see her writing and her work. So after receiving it, I started it as soon as possible. And from the first few pages itself, the author showed why she is so talked about.
From the very start to the end, the author has such a command over the plot, story, and suspense that you won’t see a loose thread anywhere. And even near the last few pages of the book, where you assume you got the story, there is a twist. Also, the blend of scientific details in the story never felt burdened.
Although a part of the end was something that I guessed, the major chunk of it surprised me and the author deserves appreciation for keeping the story so gripping, uptight, and edgy.
The book wasn’t a long read so I was expecting it to be finished in a day or two, but it took me around a week to finish it, for the sole reason that it made me immersed in it and I took it as slowly as I can! Although there were a few instances with which I am skeptical, I am hoping to know the reasons for them in the next book, if it happens!
Overall, this book was all that I expected in a thriller, fast-paced, suspense build-up and its maintenance, unseen end, and gripping and engaging writing. If you are looking forward to reading a thriller, especially a psychological thriller, go for it. I will give it 4.48/5 stars.
I was provided with an ARC of the book in exchange for an honest review.
You can buy the book from Amazon or any bookstore near you!
