3 Stars
A housewarming gift unleashes a djinn… but I think
he’s defective.
To be honest, a big part of why I moved to a remote
island was to escape my overbearing mother. She wants me to get married, settle
down, and pop out some grand-trophies. I’m not opposed to the idea, but every
time I swipe right, I seem to end up dating hot messes or worse: suspiciously
perfect guys. No thanks. I want a normal guy who loves to snuggle and binge
watch TV until we fall asleep in each other’s arms. A guy who will make me
happy. Is that too much to ask?
I hadn’t even finished unpacking before my mom’s
housewarming gift was tossed onto my porch—an antique lamp. While checking for
damage, I rubbed the lamp, and you’d never guess what came out. Although, the
title kind of gives it away, so darn it, you already know what popped out.
It turns out, being shaken around like rice inside a
maraca during shipping isn’t great for a djinn’s memory; he is only able to
remember bits and pieces of his past. Not to mention that every time he uses
magic to help me, I end up with another mess to clean up.
Still, there is no denying I’m attracted to him. I
just need to keep my mom from meeting him, so she doesn’t start hearing wedding
bells. When someone makes a grab for the lamp and my man, I'm ready to do
whatever it takes to save him.
I really enjoyed this book. It meshed well with the
rest of the books in this world. It wasn’t the best of the bunch but it was
good to read. I think it needed to be a longer book to flesh out some of the
relationship between Genevieve and Djinn but overall it was good. Genie’s mom
however can go far far away.
