This is my seventh Rick Riordan's read, with books having the same intriguing style of writing, yet I am hooked. However, maybe Percy Jackson's point of view is my favourite, with all the sass and sarcasm. This book evoked so many feelings in me.  Percy is sent to the Roman Camp with barely any memories of his past after an eight-month nap. Initially, he is met with suspicion and distrust except from Hazel Levesque and Frank Zhang. Frank gets assigned by his father, Mars, the Roman figure of Ares, to go to a quest to free Death, Thanatos and take Percy Jackson and another person with him. He obviously chooses Hazel, the girl he has a crush on. Together they face a lot of troubles, open up to each other and become best friends. They succeed, of course, and get back to camp in time of a battle. They win and celebrate. Percy gets his memories back. The story ends when the warship from Camp Half-Blood is hovering over Camp Jupiter.  I loved Frank and all his usual clumsin

“This is our life. We get to decide the rules. We get to say what goes and what stays, what matters and what doesn’t.” 4.5 / 5 stars! This is the first book I read by an Indian author that is not fanfiction (YES, I read and love fanfiction). I really, really liked this book; it is unputdownable.  The writing style is so good. The characters are sweet and lovely. My favourite bit of romantic books is when the characters go out of their usual way for love and change and surprise themselves and make their own rules, just like in this story. Dimple is a coder. Her life mainly revolves around her dreams. She's smart, strong, and independent. The last thing she would agree to was an arranged marriage; it's something that has always seemed unfathomable to her. Enters Rishi, the family guy, who was not into coding, and cared about fulfilling the wishes of his family, including an arranged marriage to the daughter of family friends, that he abandoned his dreams till the e

4/5 stars! I decided to read this book because people who loved 'The Hating Game', which is about my favourite romance book, recommended it. And it turned out to be great! I am a sucker for love-hate relationships as long as things don't go dark. Which is why I like this book. “Simply put, Evelyn Abbey is my former almost-girlfriend-turned-archnemesis-turned-tentative-ally whom I would now very much like to permanently seduce.” Evie Abbey and Carter Aaron met at a mutual friends' party, went out for a date, instantly liked each other. Thankfully, the didn't make a big issue of the age difference or the commanding job they have. However, they had to work together after the merge of their companies, and also compete for the same position. At some point they fell for their boss' sick games. Then they turned into Allies as in Us Against Them before they realised that none of this deserved to risk a potentially beautiful relationship for. And love wins.
