"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly event, hosted by Breaking the Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.
Title: Becoming Jinn
Series: Becoming Jinn 1
Author: Lori Goldstein
Expected Publication: May 12, 2015
Summary:
Azra has just turned sixteen, and overnight her body lengthens, her olive skin deepens, and her eyes glisten gold thanks to the brand-new silver bangle that locks around her wrist. As she always knew it would, her Jinn ancestry brings not just magical powers but the reality of a life of servitude, as her wish granting is controlled by a remote ruling class of Jinn known as the Afrit.
To the humans she lives among, she’s just the girl working at the snack bar at the beach, navigating the fryer and her first crush. But behind closed doors, she’s learning how to harness her powers and fulfill the obligations of her destiny.
Mentored by her mother and her Zar “sisters”, Azra discovers she may not be quite like the rest of her circle of female Jinn... and that her powers could endanger them all. As Azra uncovers the darker world of becoming Jinn, she realizes when genies and wishes are involved, there’s always a trick.
Why I am lurking on this: Hello?! It's about Jinns! I haven't had Jinns before, so how would I let that slip past me? No way, right? =)
Oh I'm so excited for this book! I've had my eye on it for some time now! Did they change the cover? I don't remember it being purple. Oh well. It already has some pretty bad review but I sill want to read it! I guess people love it or hate it. Great pick this week 🙂 Check out my WoW:
