Only the Good Die Young by Akash Verma is the sequel to You Never Know : Sometimes Love Can Drag You Through Hell, but can be read as a standalone.

Synopsis:
“Anuradha left Delhi when Dhruv chose his family over her. She thought that that chapter of her life was over and so she began building a new life in Mumbai. But strangely, the moment she leaves her past behind, her past begins to catch up with her. Dhruv suddenly comes back into her life and even as they begin to figure out their relationship, horrible things begin to happen to people around them.
Who is it that cannot see them together? Who is carrying out these shocking crimes? Are they really soulmates cursed to stay apart or is there a karmic debt that they must pay back together?”

It is a dark and twisted thriller. The story is told from multiple perspectives and is easy to follow. I haven’t read the first part, but I could piece the story together. A tad bit too aggressive for my taste, but a good story nonetheless. I found certain parts a little too far-fetched and hard to believe, but overall it was a good read.

Possible trigger warnings : mention of violence, death, depression, suicide, sexual harassment, strong language, murder.
