Series: The Djinn Order, Act One

Author: A. Star

Publication Dates: April 27, 2015

Three wishes. Two lovers. One destiny.
When the snarky Glory St. Pierre discovers the gold mechanical vase in her deceased grandmother’s basement, she has no idea that she has uncovered a priceless treasure: a genie lamp. With a real genie inside. A very sexy genie with a not-so-sexy grudge against the entire human race.

Irving Amir hates being called a genie. He’s a Djinn, and he is none too happy to be in the service of Glory, who is as intolerable, and beautiful, as humans come. Now he owes her his gratitude for freeing him and three wishes. Damn his luck.

But an arrow through the shoulder alerts Irving to the fact that he is being hunted, and after a truce dinner with Glory ends with them both almost being killed, hating each other goes right out the window.

Character interview with Irving Amir!

1. Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

*grumbles* Mortals...Well, if I must do this...One, I am a Djinn, not a genie. Two, Irving is not my real name. Three, the answer is no. I will not be granting you any wishes today, Stephanie. I know you were thinking about it.

2. How would you describe Glory in a few words?

Ill-mannered and difficult. But as true as that may be, she is also equally beautiful and brave. 

3. What would you say is your best and worst characteristic?

I pride myself on never being afraid to do what is necessary, even if it is not always right. But who is to say what is right and what is wrong? Maybe that is my flaw right there. For me, the wrong thing can often feel so right.

4. What's it like to be a genie, um I mean Djinn...?

Very good, Stephanie, though I do not believe I can provide an answer to your question. What is it like to be human? Not that I am at all interested in being one, but I can imagine your life is quite rudimentary and mundane. Being a Djinn is nothing like that. That is the only answer I can give you.

5. What did you think when you first met Glory?

*smiles* My first thoughts were quite inappropriate. Glory is quite the beauty. But then she opened her mouth, and as you well know, it was all down hill from there. 

6. If you the roles were reversed, what three wishes would you make?

If I had three wishes, I would only use one: To be with Glory forever.

"Do not make me smack you, Irving Amir."
"Do not make me kiss you, Glory St. Pierre."

Wish for Me was simply fanastic! I think I had read two books about Djinn before but it wasn't until this book that I felt like yeah, I need to read more books with them (or author's need to write more with them). I was pretty sure I was going to like this book but I hadn't expected to love it this much from start to ending. Just... amazing!

This story is about Glory St. Pierre who chances upon what she thinks is a vase in the basement of her grandmother who has passed away. This is not an ordinary vase Glory discovers when she has taken it to her place. Turns out this vase is not only mechanical (so cool!) but also a genie lamp and whe accidentally summons the cynical but sexy Djinn, Irving Amir, inside. 

Glory was such a fun character to read about. I truly enjoyed reading about everything she did and when Irving, a Djinn, was thrown into the mix it just kept getting better. I can't even begin to explain my love for Irving. He started out exactly how I imagined a Djinn to be — Judgmental towards humans. Irving certainly was like that, but there more going on there than just a hatred toward humans. And he's so much more than just a regular Djinn.

Without giving too much away, there are quite a few plot twists that made me gasp out loud (in public...), twists that I hadn't seen coming at all. I really like books that can surprise me like this. Another cool thing to this book is the steampunk part. There's a mechanical lamp, like I said before, and the Djinn can be summoned with turning a key in it. I just thought that was so cool. And other than that there's so many other steampunk elementas in this book, like Irvin's mechanical bat. She was just so darn cute! 

Overall, Wish for Me by A. Star basically had everything I wanted — An awesome heroine, a smexy hero, djinn and magic, unexpected twists that only this author can truly shock me with and very hot romance + great writing. It was perfect!

Excerpt

With an angry flick of his wrist, a swirling cloud of purple and gray appeared before us. If I had been questioning whether magic was real, whether Irving was real, it was no longer up for debate.

 Irving reached into the cloud and pulled out a tiny device. It looked like one of those old-timey fountain pens with a crystal vial in the center of the brass frame. He flicked his wrist again and the cloud disappeared.

“Give me your hand,” Irving commanded. With a huff, I did as he ordered, even though I wanted to remind him that I was the master and was supposed to be giving the orders. Not him.

“You son of a bitch!” I hissed as Irving pricked my finger with the point of the pen thingy. “What did you just do?” I sucked on my finger to dull the sting.

“Only your blood knows the truth.” Irving held the pen up and we watched as that tiny drop of my blood somehow coated the entire vial, then turned blue. I swore that surprise flickered across his expression, but it was gone so fast, I couldn’t be sure it was ever there at all.

“What is that thing?” I questioned. I already despised Irving, but my curiosity was a bitch and made me ask.

“It is a verity-meter.” When it became clear that he should try speaking English, he said, “It is a lie detector.”

“A lie detector?” I frowned. “Why do you need that? What do you think I lied about?”

“Nothing.” He slipped the verity-meter into a pocket of his duster. “Now, make your wishes.”
