 And here goes the review by me for all the book lovers

Book Title: The Ray of Asha

Author: Jisha Rajesh

Format: Kindle Edition

Book Cover: The cover of the book in blue and white forms a vicious circle with a handcuffed Doctor holding stethoscope. The cover gave me a feeling that it is about crime in medical line but it is completely different with mishaps, and hopes holding you to survive. ***1/2*

The Title: The Ray of Asha... completely goes with the plot and the characters of the story ****

Plot:

The book starts from a journalist and a spiritual healer then it takes you to medical line and then jail, and each and every scene would flash in front of you and flow with the story. The ray of Asha is not actually a love story but a story with lots of tremors that the protagonist Jai has to undergo, and deprived himself from everyone. But he couldn't forget his ladylove, even after following the path of spiritualism. It is a very emotional plot with motivation to handle the traumas in life with strength and belief in love. The author has explained each and every incident from the point of views of both the protagonist.. I recommend this to all the fiction lovers and give 4****.
