书评：
This is indeed a paranormal mystery suspense novel, a fiction that is so educative, interesting to read and keeps one in suspense as each chapter unfolds. The use of traditional words, phrases and idioms made it more fun and explanatory for readers. It reveals the emotions, thought and feelings of the characters. It explains vividly the trauma faced in life when it comes to relationship and adventure. The writer did a perfect work by going further to reveal the effect of immoral act (Lies) and its consequence. The conscious and subconscious mind of humans was revealed and positive outcome of letting go the past and to live a new life. There is no doubt that kudos should be given to the author for displaying professionalism and having an adept knowledge in drawing the story to a reconcilable and joyful end.
