“Death’s symphony played as the wind danced around, whispering secrets.”

Such is the brilliance of Rena. Rena has created yet another mind-blowing book with Xander in lead. Delightfully mysterious with twists for days, you’ll be lead into a world full of secrets and ,what seems to be death in every corner. I have fallen in love with every crime scene solely for the small details that every clue holds.

Rooted in culture, Rena’s books are an experience for everyone to enjoy and learn from, especially if you’re someone who loves the hidden secrets of the biggest families in small towns. Xander as a character is layered and intriguing, and you can’t help but be mesmerized by the man hiding beneath those layers and buried in secrets. – Anu Nair, Author
