DESCRIPTION

If I were wired to sense just one thing in this entire world, it would be the smell of you. Not flowers, not petrichor. Not liquid ink or pages of a new book. You. Just You. Filling all the spaces of my being.

For Miris, her keen sense of smell has always been a blessing and a bane. For years, she has wrapped herself in seclusion to escape the dark memories of her past. When the mysterious death of her best friend sends her world crashing down, she finds herself in a dangerous quagmire of nostalgia and temptation as terrifying secrets emerge.

Then one day… she’s suddenly engulfed by his essence.

Roy, who she’d promised to love forever.

Roy, who was never supposed to come back.

Plunged into cyclic nightmares, Miris will have to navigate the haunted realms of hallucination and reality as help and deception arrive in unexpected forms.

Will Sam and Saira, her friendly neighbors become twin rays of the sunshine she craves or will they be consumed by her darkness?

Is this insanity? Or a sinister presence?

What do you do when you cannot trust yourself?

‘Linger, When You’re Gone’, a unique psychological thriller packed with romance and suspense, will quicken your pulse and keep it racing!

Perfect for fans of gripping thrillers from the likes of Paula Hawkins, Gillian Flynn, Lisa Jewell, Ruth Ware and A.J. Finn. Enough of romantic suspense to keep readers of Nora Roberts hooked!

REVIEW

📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚📚

The book is the story Mirisha Sahai, a girl with weird olfactory settings, has too many tragic episodes in her life that lingers on just like various smells do to her. A broken home, dead parents and a few loved ones, a controlling boyfriend Roy, she had too much to battle with in her life. Then Roy is out from her life too, never to return but does he really leave Miris alone? You need to read the story to figure out the rest.

🌹🌹The book is simply an unputdownable one, owing to its strong plot and crisp narration. Although, the story was really slow and the time switches really irked me in the beginning but after the initial struggle to settle with the story it was indeed intriguing.

🌹🌹The characters were developed well. Author has created the character of Miris so well that you feel a palpable familiarity with it.

🌹🌹The dash of romance with mystery was another USP of the book.

🌹🌹And not to miss the mind blowing title and equally mystifying cover.

🌹🌹The language is rich and you will certainly get to learn the names of a few kind of psychotic disorders.

VERDICT

As a final verdict, I can say that this was simply the best one I read in 2021 so far. A perfect romantic-psychological- thriller.
