SYNOPSIS

Zindagi Bose lived a normal life. She had the best parents , the best of friends and went to the best school in the town. Until one day , everything turns upside down and Zindy is left struggling for survival , having to live with a drug addict mother and a step father who doesn't seem to have any fatherly feelings for her. One fine morning , she packs her luggage and runs away for good , taking shelter at her best friend's place.

Three years later , she's informed about her mother being diagnosed with cancer. Does she care ? No sir. Not after what said mother did to her. Yet she dares to agree to a trip to the past and explore the ruins in search of closure. One thing leads to another and Zindy ends up losing her life.

But is this the end to her story. Uh-uh. Not yet.

Stepping on the other side of Death , Zindy finds herself in a new world. The world beyond death guarded by the celestial entities Karma and Kismet. She thinks she's done with it all.

Her mortal existence on the planet has been served = She's free to live her life as she pleases.

But the immortal keepers of afterlife have other plans for her. She's given an enormous responsibility. A responsibility on which the existence of mankind is dependent. A responsibility she never thought she'd be chosen to be bestowed on. Hop along as Zindy unravels the secrets of Cruciphonix and delves deeper into the mysteries in search of answers. Watch her maintain the balance of life on Earth as she and her friends save the day.

Please note that reviews are subjective and not law, that they're opinions and should be taken with a pinch of salt. If the following review in any way offends you, please note that that is not the goal and it is one person's view of your story. You are entitled to agree or disagree with the raised points. If you are hurt and need to leave hate comments to feel validated, please don't. The reviewer doesn't care.

Title and Cover:

The title works well with the story. It's of perfect length and relates to the most basic element of the story, the afterlife. It's not particularly original, as I've reviewed books with similar titles before, but still a good one.

I like the background picture of the cover. Its colours are eye-catching and work well with each other, and it is, in general, a good image. Font-wise, I always think sticking to one or two fonts only is always best, or it starts looking all over the place, and I think four have been used here. I like the fonts, but the author font is harder to read, particularly due to being one of the smaller texts. Speaking of the text display, I think it's perfect.

Blurb:

The blurb is 271 words long. Even just by looking at it, I knew it was too long and the lazier readers wouldn't want to read it. When writing a blurb, always aim for 120 words or so.
