Blurb
Can one love destroy the world? Marielle and Faris have risked it all for love: their safety, their lives, even humanity itself. Their mistakes are grave and the entire world is paying dearly. Akeelah has created a vicious, half-djinn army and is bent on killing every single human on the planet. Her powers are second only to her hatred. No one is safe, not when the creature’s goal is to rule the physical realm. Only Marielle and Faris know how Akeelah built her army, and only they know how to destroy it. Marielle would rather forget the role she plays in this terrible game. She would rather run away with Faris, never to return—humanity be damned—but who is she kidding? There is no way she can let the evil Djinn win. Marielle’s fate was sealed the day she unwittingly gave Akeelah the answers to her thousand-year-old questions. Now Marielle’s guilt is too heavy to simply walk away. The fate of every citizen on Earth, especially her father, depends on her and the man she loves.
Review
Holy Mother of Djinn, where do I even start? That last 30% kept me on the edge of my seat the entire time. Like ignore everyone around you, if the house was on fire so were you. That's exactly how I would describe it. The minute you thought things were going correctly, Ingrid "Gibbs'" you and throws in another curve ball. So much happens in this book, honestly things I wasn't expecting. That is hard to find in books right now. Especially with strong female leads. They all seem to have the same things going on. Elle, is in her own category with these books. I have absolutely loved this series. I gave this 4.5 stars, only because the middle kind of loses it for me. It slowed down a little and with the momentum it had going, it was tough to get back with the pace. Nonetheless I still enjoyed reading this book, compared to the trilogy this one I have to say is my favorite. Now I just need to read the novellas that go along with them! I'm a bit excited, can't you tell? ^_^ (A Gibbs' is a smack to the back of the head, in case anyone was wondering. NCIS. Love it.)
