I would like to thank Bastei Entertainment & Rainy Kaye for my copy of the ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Some of my friends on GoodReads had said this book was really good but sadly for me it total flopped and I couldn't get into it at all.
Dimitri is a young genie without any powers stuck in a situation that is not the best. His master Karl Walker has him kidnapping and killing people without a choice in the matter, then he meets Syd and his world is about to change forever...
Ok, so Dim really annoyed me he was forever looking down on other people even after the things he has done. He kept contradicting himself and if he called someone a rockstar once more I was going to poke my eyes out what the actual hell?! Also, what was the deal with the Audi? Almost everyone nowadays drives an Audi, Merc or BMW so I don't get why he was so impressed with an Audi.. it is an AUDI. Also, he was soooooo bad at being a genie and very sloppy I felt like screaming at him are you for real?! You are meant to be a pro at this and done it a million times god! Then the whole situation with Silvia, why was he so much of an ass to her and always looking down on her making out she was a psycho with everything that he had done and was doing and his current relationship HELLO?!
So it just so happens that he meets Syd while she's waiting on "friends" in an old man bar? Yeah ok... so they go have amazing sex (I won't lie it's amazing sex) and she is a COMPLETE NUTCASE who comes across so desperate it made me cringe to think that some females are actually like that.
I was dangling on the start of the book and thought I was getting into it, by the second half it was really not for me so much so I was forcing myself to read it which I hate to do but I always seem to want to finish a book.
Sorry not for me and I don't know what to do about the ARC of the second book that I have, hey you never know right? Maybe I will change my mind and get into it.
