"13 Minutes Before Midnight" by Abhaidev is another magnificent work that keeps one engaged and develops curiosity in one's being. Abhaidev is the pen name of Mayank Chandna. Abhaidev very skillfully blends many elements, such as crime, science fiction, murder, mystry, time travel, suspense, romance, and thriller. The colors mixtures used for the cover page is very relating with its elements and also catchy. The story revolves around the protagonist, Rehan, who is enjoying his coffee when suddenly, an unexpectedly horrific incident involving the corpse of a woman out of nowhere lands in his flat, which terrifies him and makes him want to be freed from this incident. This is just an example of how many such shocking, unexpected, and unnatural series of events occur throughout the novel, which keeps alive the spirit of inquiry in the reader.Personally, I liked the style of writing and setting of events by the author, which tied me up. Henceforth, I suggest all book lovers turn pages, dive into the book, and explore its beauty.
