A fast-paced magical action romance about courage, growth, and friendship. Melody is an average teenager with a magical secret. After a personal tragedy, she is thrust into another world that she is depended on to save. Throughout the process, Melody falls in love with someone she never expected to in a charming story. Unlike many heroines of magical destiny, Melody is not alone; she is also able to consistently rely on the support of her friends and family to help her. She shows incredible courage and a beautiful heart as she fights for what is right. Along the way, she faces a variety of struggles, emotional and otherwise, but is able to rely on her powerful inner strength to overcome them. It was hard to put the book down and take a pause from Melody’s story as reading it leaves you breathless and wondering what’s going to happen next. While at times it really feels like she got in over her head, the author resolves the conflicts in a way that is both believable and satisfying. The world of the djinn is magical and enchanting and it is hard not to imagine wishing yourself into the character’s shoes (when she’s not in danger!) to experience it.

A gripping tale filled with deep characters, imaginative twists and turns, and intriguing, mysterious magic; it's hard to believe this is the author's first book - it reads like a book from a seasoned author. I don't read many books, but I ended up reading this in one sitting, cover to cover. I needed to know where the story led; how it came together. I was invested in Melody's story from the prologue until the last page. The writing is easy to follow and it keeps you wondering how it will resolve until the very end. I hope there will be more books to explore this world. Thank you for sharing this fantastic story!

If you liked the Twilight series, try this new book. Melody, the main character, has powers she does not understand, so she keeps them a secret. The story begins when her mother is killed by an out-of-control driver possessed and controlled by a Genie. Little does she know that her powers can be sensed by these Genies who view her as a threat and want to control her.

As an avid fan of many young adult novels that encompass fantasy, romance, and a quick-moving plotline, this brand new novel by Leigh Eskin Mascolino did not disappoint!! If you are someone who enjoys fiction such as Twilight or the Graceling series, this book is right up your alley. I loved how the main character, Melody, was so relatable. I often found myself agreeing with her, and relating to her personality quirks.
