Until then, all I can give you is the cover...
And the blurb...
You’d think being a genie would be easy-peasy. But when you’re Jo Mayweather, ain’t nothing so
simple. Sure, she defeated the Efreet at
the big warehouse blowup, but those bastards left a surprise for her amongst
the cages. Now she’s got to figure out
why the hell the Efreet would be messing with creating a deadly species, who
they’re afraid of, and why the gods themselves are running. With the deities on a break, it’s up to Jo to
gather the genies and save the world.
But who’s going to save her?
And a snippet from the beginning...
What
in the name of Uncle Hank is it now?
I gazed around the dilapidated warehouse
as if seeing it for the first time. Cages
hung from chains all around the open expanse.
They had been filled with genies for the most part. Others held vampires and lycanthropes and
members of a myriad of species across the supernatural realm. Almost all of them were empty now, their
prisoners set free by myself and my merry band of djinn allies. The final few left occupied housed Efreet—sort
of the anti-us, if you will—awaiting whatever punishment they deserved for
being the heinous bastards they were.
“Come on, Jo.”
Jo.
That was me. Josephine Eugenia
Mayweather to be more precise. I guess I
was kind of shell-shocked, waiting for the fact I was needed elsewhere to sink
in. Not much more than an hour had
passed since my friends had kicked Efreet ass in this shitty New York City
warehouse. And while they were at it, I got to battle my own father in a
melodramatic kind of freakish family reunion.
My compatriots had won. I’d
won.
It
was over.
Over? I’d have to allow myself a good chuckle later. It wouldn’t be over until I was taking the
big dirt nap. And being a djinn meant
few things were able to put me six feet under.
As you see, it picks up where Up Wish Creek left off. Of course, if you haven't read Up Wish Creek, maybe you don't see. But you can rectify that in plenty of time before September 15th, so have at it.
LOVE this cover and the blurb is pretty much spot on! LOVED the opening. Must get work done so I can play. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Silver! I hope you get some playtime soon, but I understand you're hip deep right now. :hugs:
DeleteYay! Love the cover and love the opening! :-D
ReplyDeleteI have a book I really want to read, but I'm still groggy from having a cracked tooth pulled. Hasn't been one of my better days.
Thanks, Deb!
DeleteOh, man! Sorry about your tooth. I hope you get a chance to read, but I also hope you're sleeping and taking it easy. :hugs:
