REVIEW OF BOOK INFLUENCER: SPEED MUST HAVE A LIMIT

‘Influencer: Speed Must Have a Limit’ by Abhaidev is a story of a man’s journey of facing the indignation and pique of an organization that is not only powerful but also something which is mighty potent in itself as well. 

The blurb is as follows:

What if we have been wrong about this world this whole time? What if only a few gifted individuals decide the fate of it? What if impossible is quite possible?

One of the prime minister’s many assistants, Aditya is no ordinary man. He is instead what some people call an Influencer. Yes! Literally! He is one of the few fortunate men who with the power of their minds can make other people agreeable and servile.

To the outside world, Aditya is just another employee on the government’s payroll. But secretly, he is part of a shadow organization called WIS. With his special abilities, Aditya helps the most powerful man in his country, the PM, to have the better end of the deal.

Life for Aditya had been smooth until one careless mistake precipitates into his wife knowing his big secret. WIS can tolerate anything but not a defector. It takes WIS some time but eventually they find out Aditya’s big goof up. It, therefore, declares war on the renegade. Aditya’s death is what they want.

What will Aditya do? How will he fight this decree of the behemoth that once nurtured him?

The Influencer is a story of a man who has never taken no for an answer. It’s a thrilling account of a single man who is facing the wrath of a powerful but dubious organization with highly-skilled, super assassins at its disposal.

Will Aditya succeed in dodging WIS? Or will the evil organization get what it wants? How far will this fugitive go to protect everything he cherishes? 

My Review:

In this millennial era where every other person that we come across deems himself or herself to be a celebrity by being a social media influencer, we are introduced to our protagonist Aditya, who is a part of a secret society called WIS (World Influencers Society). He is an actual influencer, whose job is to influence people and make them servile.

Of course, being part of a secret society means that Aditya actually needs to keep this strictly confidential, however an unintended miscue on his part results in something lethal and ghastly that will leave uneding repercussions in its wake. 

The big question remains regarding who will triumph in this war of wills, a man who never gives up on anything or the organization that is supposedly unbeatable in its own right.

I quite liked the writing style of the author and the way with which the story flowed, making the readers engaged throughout. 

My Rating:

There is a HFN ending in the book, however that absolutely major cliffhanger in the epilogue had me biting my nails with anticipation on what will be coming next. Hence, I am going to give this book FIVE SPEED STARS ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
