Book: Evoked

Pages: 228
Evoked: The Lavasa Incident by Mansi Babbar is a part of the Ravi Subramanian Presents series, which aims to provide ” short, plot-oriented, fast-paced novellas that are the book equivalent of caffeine for an exhausted mind” and I completely agree with it for this book.
This is the story of Sevita and Sama, twin sisters who are exact opposites, the former being completely extroverted and popular, and the latter being an introvert and loner. But what will happen when one of them dies a sudden death? Will the truth be ever uncovered regarding this mystery? Will Inspector Mohite be able to solve this case? To know more, read the book.
I am someone who reads thrillers and mysteries once in a while and when I do, I want something to be fast-paced, creating the environment of suspense and thrill, maintaining the mystery, and keeping the strings of it very tight, and this book delivers it.
From the prologue itself, the author has created a scenario that was so interesting to let you keep reading. Because of the sustained fast pace throughout the book, it didn’t occur for a second when the book started and when it was finished.
The plot was very well developed and even though the ending was predictable for me, it was surprising because of the way it was written. The plot is related to Mrs. Vyas was a little unrealistic and there could have been more about it and so does about the parenting.
It is my first read by the author, and I’m looking forward to reading more. It was a novella that could be easily finished in one sitting(just be aware of the trigger warnings mentioned below).
If you are someone who is looking forward to a short, crisp, fast-paced novella with a great build-up, check it out. I’ll give it 4.2/5 stars.
