This book was a lot more than I thought it would be and I
loved it! It’s a book with so many levels, that it kept me hooked until the
very last page with the storyline and characters growing and building to be more
of an epic adventure than a love story. In short this book is definitely being
added to my favourites and I do hope this is going to be a series since I have
very much fallen in love with the characters; I will also be looking into more
books by this author.
This book is a one that changes perspective so there are a
lot of main characters, this list of main characters consist of Genie, Reid,
Jinn Kuru (sorry I can’t get the accent above first ‘U’), Mark and Brad Sanchez.
Genie is a genie, she has been locked inside her bottle for a while and when
let out by Reid is more than willing to help his odd predicament and fall in
love with him. Reid opens his friend Mark’s bottle and discovers Genie, a sexy
woman who will wait on his every command and help him out of his alcohol soaked
ways; he can’t help but fall in love with her. Jinn Kuru is by far my favourite
character, I mean who wouldn’t fall for this big bad; Genie, Jinn is scorned by
Genie’s rejection and has made it a mission to have her. Mark is the best
friend of Reid and honestly this is the character that I had the most problems
connecting to, until he falls for Genie’s sister that is. Brad Sanchez is a
member of the FBI he is a problem for Genie and Reid for the majority of the
book but swaps sides at the last minute. The main characters are a great mix
and they all offer new things for the book and the storyline.
The secondary characters I felt most noteworthy are Cassie
and Selena; the lack of female main characters means that the majority of the
secondary characters are female to balance the story out and offer love
interests. Cassie has links throughout the book with numerous characters;
firstly she traps Jinn and blocks his powers, then it turns out she is Reid’s
brother, she is absolutely crazy and hell bent on revenge but she is aa great
character that I feel added a lot to the story. Selena is Genie’s sister who
Mark falls for; she is a genie and a great addition to the book.
The storyline and pacing are superb as the storyline evolves
the pacing is expertly done to allow time for character development and new
information to come to light surrounding the storyline and the characters
involved. I thought the storyline was brilliant and completely unexpected to me
to be so in depth and gripping that I found it very difficult to put it down.
I really loved this book and look forward to
reading more by this author.
