A delusional hero…
Iravan Rajpoot, an Ex-Black Cat Commando with a dark past is receiving letters with names and time limits. It’s no sooner that he learns these people will die within that time frame. He needs to do everything, risk everyone to save them.
An ambitious reporter…
Swati Kaushik, a widow and a woman who can do anything for success must team up with Iravan to stop the god of death and justice.
Will Iravan Rajpoot be able to find Yama while balancing out his personal life? Will Yama be able to fulfill in spreading his twisted message to everyone?

My Review
Yama is a
story of an every ordinary people who find themselves sick of our ruthless
system , who wants to punish the slur of the society but all their agitation
and wrath remained within themselves but
here in this story you would meet a man emerging as a light , a ray of hope and
tries to bring change . This is a journey of wailing cry of man which turned
himself into Yama the God of Justice , a commander Iravan Rajpoot who swirl
between his pasts and presents keeping pace in his life and a reporter Swati
Kaushik who struggled for her own existence and one day Yama knocks the door .
When I
picked the book I wasn’t sure I would turn out to be a book which will make you
dig inside your heart , trust me , your sins will flash once before your eye.
When I read the epilogue the level of curiosity doubled inside me and I wasn’t
able to take off my eyes from the book .
Someway or the other I felt the Author has really researched a lot , I
really appreciate this efforts for choosing a genre which we hardly mention in
our daily lives more than that his hard work reflects in this book . Hat’s off
sir .
From the
book , the two persons really had left positive impression on my mind . Iravan
Rajpoot and the Yama . Iravan Rajpoot , an
dedicated army commander , a caring husband , a good father and a man
with perspicuous mind who went on chasing the Yama and discovered himself. He
was most gripping character of the story .
The second one , Yama , the god of justice ; the man around which the
story revolve . Yama , is my favorite because I learned about different
mythologies , their nadir , the sins and the punishments and the best of all is
the character building of Yama by the author .
Overall the
story and presentation was out of the box , the book wasn’t guessing at all .
The book consist of threads which are connected to each other and at the end
all threads were tied together . But yes
, the book require three to four settings to be completed , the reader must
have patience before opening it but the book will keep you hooked .
The
incidents from the book was lively , I could observe the characters from the
real life but my favorite part was , the depiction of hell made my Yama , all
sins are categorized and each sin have it’s own way of punishment and Iravan
way of working with each clue that Yama had provided and the Yama himself . It
was really fascinating !!!
Apart from
all , the book could have been proved much better if the chapters were less and
the author could have summed up the few plots into one . The large sum of
chapter is a drawback which I found and unnecessarily stretched portions . I
hope Author would work on it in his next novel and won’t take negative punches
as a criticism.
Readers , if
you’re really fond of reading thriller I would definitely recommend you this
book . The book is actually a gripping one in spite of the portion I mentioned
above . The book is really a pack of hard work and research and a strong story
. A must read book though one time .
I rate this
book for perfect narration , characters and the story 3.5/5 . Dear Author I am looking forward to read more
thriller work of yours .
