Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

3 stars<\/b><\/p>\n

The second book in Samantha Young\u2019s Seven Kings of Jinn<\/i> series, this book was originally published in 2012 as \u2018Scorched Skies (Fire Spirits, #2)\u2019, but has now been renamed, re-edited and rereleased, and continues Ari\u2019s journey as a newly-discovered Jinn (genie), finding her way in a whole new supernatural world.<\/p>\n

Ari is still coming to terms with her new supernatural powers, and the magical world that she has become a pivotal part of. Her best friend, Charlie, and her Jinn guardian, Jai, are both by her side to help, but her complicated past with Charlie, and her growing feelings for Jai are causing conflict.<\/p>\n

When tragedy strikes, her romantic dramas are the least of her problems as she discovers that she has become a target. Not only does the White King want her, but a new enemy has emerged, a sorcerer who wants Ari\u2019s power, and he doesn\u2019t care who gets in his way.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s a lot going on in this book, with enemies all around, Ari having strange dreams, and the aforementioned romantic drama. Yes, it\u2019s a love triangle, but also sort of not. We, and Ari, know where her heart truly lies, it\u2019s just a matter of wading through awkward encounters with both boys while we watch it all to play out.<\/p>\n

Jai continues to be supremely awesome \u2013 badass and closed off, but with enough heated staredowns with Ari to keep things interesting. And Charlie is following his own path of vengeance, creating an interesting side story that ties in well with Ari\u2019s journey.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s action, intrigue, mystery and just a touch of romance, and it\u2019s all go from start to finish. There\u2019s a lot to take in, and I\u2019m still finding this world a little tricky to wrap my head around \u2013 so many characters and powers, and a complicated lore. I finished this book only a couple of days ago, but already the details are a little murky.<\/p>\n

This series isn\u2019t grabbing my attention like Young\u2019s other work, and that\u2019s unusual both as a lover of Samantha\u2019s writing, as a mad fan of paranormal romance. But I\u2019m intrigued enough to carry on with the series, and with some big developments at the end of this book, I\u2019m keen to see where the story goes next.<\/p>\n

3 stars.<\/p>\n
