Most expectant mothers talk to their unborn baby. But what if the baby starts to respond.
Most expectant mothers talk to their unborn. But what if the unborn starts to respond? Mahika is hoping that a baby will breathe new life into her dead marriage. But all her pregnancies meet the same fate, because no baby is perfect for Shivam, her genius geneticist husband. Until there is one. Rudra, the world's first genetically altered foetus, is Shivam's perfect creation and Mahika's last hope. The six-week-pregnant Mahika has just walked into her fertility clinic when she discovers an anonymous note that discloses the ugly truth behind her pregnancy. Before Mahika can come to terms with the fact that her husband's quest for perfection has marked its territory in her womb, she finds herself locked in her own house. But then she discovers that her unborn son has extraordinary powers. As weeks pass by, Rudra calibrates and recalibrates his powers with one aim-Mahika's freedom. But Rudra needs more than his newly acquired powers to free his mother. He needs to betray his creator, his father. And he must do it before it's too late.

This was a fantastic read for me, and apart from a few plot holes, this was a perfect thriller for me.
This has a very strong theme of domestic abuse and motherhood, intertwined perfectly together, I loved it. Plus added the slight sci fi aspect with the genetics? It was fabulous.
I think the emotions of Mahi connecting with her baby was done so well, and i was attached to the characters too.
The pacing was also well done, and it kept me flipping page after page because I couldn't wait to find out what happened.
The plot twist wasn't my favourite, but it still did bring the story full circle, which gave me enough closure.
Overall, I loved the rollercoaster ride this put me on, and i thoroughly enjoyed every minute. Definitely gonna be reading more from this author.
