Exploring Darkest Secrets

"Finished. 3:12. I really liked the background setting surrounding every character, and I am deeply drawn to all the metaphors you have used to set the atmosphere (Also I really like the book cover very much). As I read each page, I could feel the effort you have put into writing it. Each character's dark secrets gave each one an identity that they were desperately trying to escape from. As I delved deeper into it, it got more interesting and suspenseful. Truly a masterpiece! This is the fourth thriller and mystery book I have ever read, and it is my best one so far. (I even felt like I was the one who was trapped in that tower). I am really proud to say that I have a friend like you Sapto! Move on, and one day, I will see your book on the bestseller's chart. You have already nailed it buddy! "

Great story so far!

"I’m only a few chapters in, but so far it’s already so suspenseful and has me asking myself questions about each character, and how they’ll tie in to the tower. I’m on the edge of my seat, waiting to see what happens, and I don’t usually read many mysterious, suspenseful type books. Your writing is so good, and I can’t wait to see how this story continues to unfold!"

A Tower of Terror!

"Tanveer, an exhausted student from South Asia, dreams of nothing more than financial freedom. His nights are long and lonely, sustained only by quick meals and brief study breaks. But when the mysterious Summer Scholarship Program appears on his horizon, Tanveer dares to hope. Perhaps this will be his chance—to attend university, earn scholarships, and finally secure a future career. We’re also introduced to Sangeeta, Renji, and Samantha, three other students who, like Tanveer, receive invitations to the mysterious program. But what exactly is the SSP? A prestigious path toward success and stability? A clever recruitment scheme? Or, more ominously, a dangerous experiment where only the strongest and most cunning will survive? This is another sinister, twist-filled tale from author Sapto Mitra—and possibly her best work yet. Mitra shines in the way she develops her characters, giving readers time to know them as individuals before drawing them into the central plot. Each personality feels distinct, each background unique. So far, my favorite is Tanveer. He’s the character I relate to most, especially with his longing for economic independence. And I can only hope he manages to survive… Twelve Hours in a Tower!"

Suspensful thriller

"Interesting premise I read the first 10 chapters in one go. Bonus points for including one of my favourite songs (no, not Ed Sheeran)"

Interesting Idea

"I love how you tell the stories of different people—their struggles, their perspectives, and the ways their lives unfold. It keeps the reader engaged, almost like starting a new book with each character. It’s excellent how you weave all these separate aspects of their lives together inside the Tower—beautifully done. And I have to admit, I’ve completely fallen for Robert Anthony Braun. What a strong name—and he’s just the right mix of weird and cute. Definitely my type, hehe. Great work!"
