"The sense of this leisurely, soporific life in a small hill town, the abruptness with which this tranquility is broken and the build-up is reminiscent, at times, of Ruskin Bond’s ghost stories."

From back when I could still write romance, although I don't think I ever read it, not even Mills & Boon. If I had to write this now, Rhea would probably be a ghoul and Kamal, an axe murderer. But this one is a true blue romance to gladden your cynical heart.
