Ari's seems to have the perfect life. A senior in high school with a rich dad and set to go to Penn U for Business. Except, she's kind of miserable. She doesn't really like her friends, her best friend is bent on destroying himself, and her dad is never home. The only solace she has is Miss Maggie, the Poltergeist living in her house. Everything changes when Ari founds out she is the daughter of a powerful jinn king bent on usurping power. Jai, a world-class jinn bodyguard, is sent in for her protection and Ari's real life begins from there.
Samantha Young never dissapoints. Apart from putting her stories in 3rd person, WHICH I HATE. Other than that, the world building is well done and utterly unique. JINNS!! NO vampires!! NO werewolves!! YAY!! What I really like about this story is that no character is just sorted into bad and good. Ari and Jai live in a world where all jinn are shades of grey with their own agenda, but it's clear there is something lying beneath the devious surface.
THE ROMANCE!! It builds, it burns!! No insta-love here. Ari and Jai aren't really partial to each other at first, but they start building a trusting relationship in this book. I can't wait to see how it continues! Picking up the next book riiiiight NOW!
