Forget everything you thought you knew about genies! Azra has just turned sixteen, and overnight her body lengthens, her olive skin deepens, and her eyes glisten gold thanks to the brand-new silver bangle that locks around her wrist. As she always knew it would, her Jinn ancestry brings not just magical powers but the reality of a life of servitude, as her wish granting is controlled by a remote ruling class of Jinn known as the Afrit. To the humans she lives among, she’s just the girl working at the snack bar at the beach, navigating the fryer and her first crush. But behind closed doors, she’s learning how to harness her powers and fulfill the obligations of her destiny. Mentored by her mother and her Zar “sisters”, Azra discovers she may not be quite like the rest of her circle of female Jinn . . . and that her powers could endanger them all. As Azra uncovers the darker world of becoming Jinn, she realizes when genies and wishes are involved, there’s always a trick.
I was truly taken by the first sentence of the blurb. Can’t recall the last time or even if I’ve read about genies so I really think that this would be a treat. The entire concept would definitely set the book apart from all those usual vampires, witches and the like so I’m without a doubt excited to read this. I’ve also seen some friends from Goodreads who marked the book as-to-read. I guess a lot has found the book intriguing to wait for it too. And wait, I think the cover is nice. Not really striking, but interesting enough and look.. it compliments my blog. Lol! Almost matching my theme. Cute! 😀
Yeah. I know. This is the part that you’re looking forward to..

Man Lori’s not quite busy. Did you notice? HAHA! Lori also revealed Becoming Jinn’s First Chapter on her blog as a sneak peek of the book so check that too. I think I’ve covered everything. I’ll update this whenever I’ll find something new until this will be released. So always check back when you’re free. Okay? Or perhaps you could let me know how you feel about the issue of authors harassing reviewers. By the way, care to share the books you’re dying to read? Comment and I’ll check on it. 😀
