Sexier than Harry Potter, feistier than Artemis Fowl, funnier than Eragon. It’s a mad, mad, mad, mad world that Tamar inhabits and yet you know it only too well. It’s the one you live in (well almost)
Cult possibilities?
Nicola Rhodes has invented a character that we can all learn to love. Witty and engaging, she writes as if she knows something you don’t; but not to worry all will be revealed. Acerbic and satirical, she takes no prisoners and her biting observations can make you wince but you can’t help laughing along.
About the book then…
What would you wish for if you were offered three wishes?
When poor little rich girl, Tamar found a dirty old bottle in the river and released an ancient and powerful Djinn, she decided to go for the big one, the ultimate wish to end all wishes. Well it seemed like a good idea at the time.
Djinnx'd ...
…or Jinxed by a genie, which is what happens to Tamar when she is tricked into taking the genie's place in the bottle.
Good - in that she now has phenomenal cosmic power
Bad - in that she is now the slave of the bottle for the next several eternities.
But eternity is cut short when she meets Denny.
At first he seems just the latest in a long line of human masters, but it soon becomes apparent that he is no ordinary master when he declares his intention to set Tamar free from her bondage - no matter what the cost.
He has no idea what he's let himself in for.
Witches, mermaids, houri's a homicidal Djinn and a mad forest god with a superiority complex and that's not the half of it...
What can kill a Djinn?
If Denny can't answer this question in time then it will all have been for nothing.
This is a lighthearted comic fantasy in which a lot of ridiculous things happen, but the characters always remain real. Or as real as a five thousand year old Djinn can be.
A cross between the Halliwell sisters (Charmed) and Lara Croft, Tamar Black has a dark side to her nature that Denny (a slacker since before there was a word for it) has to teach her to reign in before can set her loose on the world. Or who knows what she might do.
It's a difficult, sometimes dangerous, quest to find a sorceress who, in the end, may or may not be able to help them find the Djinn who trapped Tamar in the first place and put him back where he belongs.
And they have to do it before whatever is coming after Tamar catches up with her.
Lots of twists and turns before the final surprise at the ending - you won't see it coming.
Djinnx’d is available internationally online at Amazon, Waterstones, WHSmith, and Blackwells among others.
