Dimitri has a pretty big secret, which is made even harder to keep by the fact that Karl has sent him on back to back wishes that he has no choice but to fulfill. As Dimitri tries to determine what Karl’s endgame is and put a stop to it, he’s confronted with the one wish that could ultimately destroy him.
book is the central relationship between Syd and Dimitri. Relationship building is really important (if not THE most important) thing to me in my books. I like to become invested in the characters, and enjoy a bit of a slow burn between them.
Syd and Dimitri hook up one night, and while I’m ok with in books, it seems like even though their relationship goes deeper, most of their interactions take place in the bedroom.
Sometimes this can work for me, as I like my fair share of sexy story time, but something about this just didn’t do it for me at all. As the book picks up about halfway through, I did become more invested, but the first half of this book left me searching for a bit more.
It’s part thriller, part mystery, part romance and the concept of the book is so original, I had to see how it all turned out. By the end, I was so caught up in Dimitri and his story that I could not put it down.
What starts off as a light-hearted book becomes a much darker and deeper book about a genie trying desperately to chance his fate. It was awesome. And don’t worry, even though there will be a book two, this book has a very satisfying ending. This is a very promising start to a new series and I can’t wait for book 2. 4 stars.
