This week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the dramatic Audible Original, Evil Eye by Madhuri Shekar. This work was released in 2019. It is 1 hour & 38 minutes in length and performed by the following people: Nick Choksi, Harsh Nayyar, Annapurna Sriram Bernard White, Rita Wolf. The following overview is provided from Audible: Usha is convinced that the Evil Eye, a curse that brings continuous misfortune, was cast upon her daughter, Pallavi, in the womb. What else could have possibly left her driven, career-oriented daughter edging closer and closer to 30 without a prospective husband? Determined to set Pallavi on the right path, Usha arranges date after date with potential suitors—but after yet another setup fails, it seems her efforts are proving fruitless. But in an unexpected turn of events, Pallavi becomes her own matchmaker when she meets—and quickly falls for—Sandeep, a young Indian-American entrepreneur. And though she expects her mother will be elated with her finally finding a man, Pallavi is distraught and confused to find her mother growing increasingly suspicious of Sandeep’s motives…and his true identity. Please note this audiobook contains strong language, distressing situations, and descriptions of abuse and violence that some listeners may find upsetting. Discretion is advised.
I loved this audiobook. The suspense that builds as the story is told makes my heart skip a beat. The format in which the story is told adds to that suspense. I do not think it could have been done in a better way. The voice cast was amazing, the performances were believable. I thought I knew what was going on and I had everything figured out. Then bam, I get hit with a curveball I did not see coming. It may be a question about everything I had just heard and needed to do an immediate relisten. This audiobook was fantastic and I highly recommend it to everyone.
I give this Audible Original 4.5 out of 5 stars.
