📖

My Views - We all more or less know about the "Island of the Dolls" in Mexico where decaying and disfigured dolls hang from trees. The Island is rumoured to be haunted. The story is basically based on this island. In the first few chapters ,the story is building, so the pace is slow and there are some new words and Spanish words. So, it can take a little time to get into the story but once the story takes pace, the storyline is very interesting and creepy as well. One will definitely get goosebumps reading the story. 

.

The narration is smooth and the eerie feeling is there throughout the book. 

.

Overall a very creepy yet enjoyable read. Definitely waiting for the second part.

📖
My Views - The storyline of the book is good.The language is simple and understandable if you know Hindi.The cover is very good and apt for the title.But the major drawback is the narration.The language that are used by the characters are cheap and abusive.There are some descriptions that are vulgar and not suitable for everyone.The author should have been more careful while writing this.
Overall plot was good but not suitable for everyone.

📖
📖
My views - This book is also consists of three short stories like volume 1 that are different from each other.I loved the first story It will definitely send shiver down your spine from the very first line. The author has beautifully written the story with twisted and unexpected ending.Hill station and horror stories are the best.The second story is more spiritual rather than paranormal.The ending was kind of expected.But I didn't like the third story.It was not unexpected or creepy.It was not upto the mark.
.
All in all a good one but could have been better.
