Good purchase
The blurb was enough to attract and get the book. The cover also supports the vibes of the book. Good to see Indian authors like Nidhi Upadhyay writing such interesting thriller books. The book was delivered safely but the packaging can be improved.

A MUST READ
I Hear You by Nidhi Upadhyay is a psychological science thriller following Mahika, Shivam and their baby Rudra.I just have three words to express my feelings regarding this book, I LOVED IT.The plot opens up with an prologue from the baby's point of view, and the first time I read it, it literally sent chills through my body and I was hooked from that very point. The story is set in Singapore, Lucknow and New Jersey the plot follows the lives of a couple who got pregnant again after three miscarriages.The plot setting is very eerie at first and later on you get used to it. The author has masterfully crafted the whole thing. Each chapter starts with a beginning of a new week in Mahika's pregnancy with a description on what the baby is like at this point in the pregnancy and then in the chapter we observe how fast the baby is growing as compared to the normal growth rate of a fetus at that particular week.There are hints from the beginning of the story that maybe the mother is not happy and fine but the clear picture emerges giving way to the reader to confirm their suspicion that yes she is not fine as the story progresses. There is a game of hide and seek going on which points to the fact that there is more going on that meets the eyes and that kept me determined to just finish it in one go.What I really loved about the book is Mahika's character arc and a proper description of the war that is going on within her. How from feeling helpless and just angry she goes on to try and learn to stand on her own two feet. The book has shown how abuse can become an integral part of any relationship without the person even realizing it. Like the abuse starts when two people get comfortable just like any other humane part of the relationship would start. The way that has been portrayed is just phenomenal.In Shivam we see a man battling with an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, how that has affected his life and then how he became someone who would modify his own baby. It does make you feel sorry for him but not so much of that compassion is left once you realize how controlling he is and how he imposes his OCD upon his wife.Rudra is the baby growing in Mahika's womb and probably the only character who adds a bit of lightheartedness to the story with his subconscious jabbing at him. The relationship between the fetus and the mother is so nicely portrayed. I loved it.I would say that you should just go for it. It is a sensitive story written with a lot of compassion and gets all of it right.

A book that I thoroughly enjoyed!
I Hear You by Nidhi Upadhyay is a Psychological Thriller book based on the story of Mahika. Facing three miscarriages already, she was losing hope when she got Rudra, the world's first genetically altered foetus, all thanks to her husband, Shivam, who wanted a perfect creation. But the happiness of having Rudra was soon overshadowed because of the anonymous notes she was getting, letting her question her relationship with Shivam and his perfection. But before she could comprehend what was happening, she was locked in her own home, soon to realise that her unborn son has extraordinary qualities, and he could hear her. But is it enough to free Mahika from Shivam's cage? What will happen to them? To know the answer to these questions and what happens in the story, read the book.From the very start to the end, the author has such a command over the plot, story, and suspense that you won't see a loose thread anywhere. And even near the last few pages of the book, where you assume you got the story, there is a twist. Also, the blend of scientific details in the story never felt burdened.Although a part of the end was something that I guessed, the major chunk of it surprised me and the author deserves appreciation for keeping the story so gripping, uptight, and edgy. And there were a few instances with which I am skeptical, I am hoping to know the reasons for them in the next book, if it happens!Overall, this book was all that I expected in a thriller, fast-paced, suspense build-up and its maintenance, unseen end, and gripping and engaging writing. If you are looking forward to reading a thriller, especially a psychological thriller, go for it.

Genius
Have you heard of DNA mutation? Do you think it's possible to fix the DNA of a new born baby and make it to perfection? Imagine if you were pregnant and somehow your baby can hear everything you say and even react to it, like it got some super power, how terrifying would that be?"I Hear You" by Nidhi Upadhyay is a book on a whole new level, I am completely astounded at how the author comes up with such an amazing plot. The entire story is based around a mother living with an abusive husband and the thing about an abusive husband is that somehow the wife can never escape, they keep finding ways to make an excuse for the way they are and keep forgiving them but what will happen when she finds out the baby she carries is nothing but a project for his husband? What happens when she realizes the baby she carries is made to be perfection and is a genius of some kind? What happens when she realises her husband might never love the baby when it's born or that her husband might use her baby only for his personal gain? Or was her husband being manipulated by someone else completely? Will she finally be able to get herself out of this marriage for the sake of his son?The entire plot was mind blowing, and there was a twist after twist which is awesome. The book is a mixture of dark thriller and a criminal genius at best, even till the end when her husband's truth comes to life, completely genius I tell you, keeps us wondering, guessing and hooked till the last page. It is a much read if you love an intense read, I've been wanting to read this for a long time and it was totally worth it.
