Episode Thirteen by Craig Dilouie


This book is my introduction to Paranormal fiction. I have read one other after this and I think it may be a bit of time before I get back to this genre.

The plot revolves around the crew of the reality series Fade to Black, who have much riding on its success. It's a motley crew who have their reasons to investigate paranormal happenings and visit the haunted places where such events take place.

The holy grail of their current research is the Paranormal Research Foundation, the mansion which holds its own share of secrets. The mission - proof of afterlife. As the house begins to reveal its secrets, the characters unravel. Their fear, their false pretences and their facades fall away; but can they remain sane. Can they accomplish what they set out to or will they become victims of their own curiosity.

I did take a long time to finish reading this book. I had to stop multiple times because I couldn't quite grasp the meaning of the research or the characters got annoying or the plot seemed just a bit strange. The story reads in the POV format, interspersed with emails, texts and video footages.

It's a decent read if you're interested in such genres and I acknowledge that maybe I didn't enjoy it particularly because I never read such books before. Nonetheless, I'm glad I read this book as it introduced me to an entire genre I may not have otherwise read.

I give it a 3/5

The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha Christie

Oh how I love Agatha Christie! She remains one of my favourite author of all time. This novel right here, I have read it at least eight times, at last count, and I continue to read it despite knowing the case inside out. The village of King’s Abbot is stunned when widow Ferrars dies from an overdose of Veronal. Not twenty-four hours later, Roger Ackroyd—the man she had planned to marry—is murdered. It is a confusing case that taxes Hercule Poirot’s 'little grey cells' before he reaches one of the most startling conclusions of his career. Hercule Poirot is my favourite fictional Detective. I have read heaps of Crime thrillers with memorable detectives, but Monsieur Poirot is unmatched. The way his little grey cells work, it puts most of us to shame because we barely use even 10% of what's given to us. This novel reads extremely well. There are clues scattered in the details, but only one of Poirot's calibre can see them and make sense of them. It's a clas

Harry Potter by J. K. Rowling

This has to be the first entry on my bookstagram page. I have never been able to fully explain to anyone what it is about Harry Potter and why I still read it, cherish it and love it even 20 years after having read it for the first time. Maybe it's the fact that I read the Philosophers Stone when I was being bullied in school and I had practically no friends and no support. Therefore, reading about the boy who lived under the stairs who had hope and was rescued and admired and found inseparable friends, sparked a fire in my heart. The entire series taught me so much about bravery, loyalty, friendship, family, choices and facing life. It still feels like a warm hug, like a friend speaking to me from far and telling me everything will be alright. I have gone on to read sooooooo many more books (hoarding many too) but I always, always read the Harry Potter series every quarter. No book is perfect and neither is this series but read it for an escape. To enter the world of m
