Into the Cold by Ishita Banik

 Into the Cold by Ishita Banik

"Into the Cold" is an intense, mind-boggling psychological thriller that made me check my pulse now and then. Swinging across two timelines, the narrative made me wonder what exactly this character is and how her emotions are changing.

In the initial pages, I felt the bond between Reya and her husband was the ideal one. But what appeared to be perfect was actually a mirage of many fragmented memories. Even the bond between Reya and her sister, Mila, felt so real and grounded.

I was able to feel the trepidations of fragmented and haunting memories. Each and every eerie detail was laid bare, and there was a strange sense of discomfort that grew along with it. I felt accompanying her with her memories and fear of blurring the past and present. I was shocked by the mystery of the woman in the red sari.

The author has well penned the confusion and fear amongst the characters. It does create the psychological tension even stronger. And in between all the unease, the bond between sisters adds a soft, emotional layer that balances the story beautifully.

Overall, it's a lonely, suspense-filled story that lingers deep inside your skin.
