Twisted Tales and Turn book by Smita Das Jain was an anthology book. It is a collection of her previous work, she jots down her work in writing contests. This book is not based on one theme. There are a variety of themes that hook you to the end, and every story has an unexpected ending with twisted turns, things that I liked in this book has the author added some old songs in her some of the stories. My favorite story from the book is Top of the World, Till We Meet Again, and Purchased Love. Author Smita Das Jain simply writes this book for every reader who likes to read short stories and multiple genres at the same time. And I liked the cover and title of the book.
