Rainy Kaye's Summoned--Not your ordinary jinn.




Pages: 237 (approximately)

Synopsis:
Twenty-three year old Dimitri has to do what he is told—literally. Controlled by a paranormal bond, he is forced to use his wits to fulfill unlimited deadly wishes made by multimillionaire Karl Walker.
Dimitri has no idea how his family line became trapped in the genie bond. He just knows resisting has never ended well. When he meets Syd—assertive, sexy, intelligent Syd—he becomes determined to make her his own. Except Karl has ensured Dimitri can’t tell anyone about the bond, and Syd isn’t the type to tolerate secrets.

Then Karl starts sending him away on back-to-back wishes. Unable to balance love and lies, Dimitri sets out to uncover Karl’s ultimate plan and put it to an end. But doing so forces him to confront the one wish he never saw coming—the wish that will destroy him.

A dark twist on genie folklore, SUMMONED follows a reluctant criminal as he unravels the mystery of the paranormal bond controlling him.

SUMMONED is represented by Rossano Trentin of TZLA.


Review:
This really isn't fair. To write a review on this book. From the very beginning this book drags you in and you enter this love hate relationship immediately! The very first sentence sets the tone for the whole book. Kaye did a wonderful job creating the character, and Dimitri doesn't disappoint in his sarcastic demeanor.

Let's face it, no one likes to be told what to do, or how to do it. Now, take that and imagine being bonded to someone and FORCED to do their dirty work? No life, no family, just a multimillionaire who wants to keep you and who you truly are a secret. Do not be misguided, he's not doing it for your safety, he doesn't want to give you up. Sick, right?

I couldn't get over how much you hated liking Dimitri. You weren't supposed to like him, or feel sorry for him. He does unspeakable things, has hurt numerous people; he's the bad guy. Or is he? Would he still be the bad guy if he wasn't under this bond? That is up for you as the reader to decide, it's pretty self explanatory.

Fall in love? This is no easy feat to the ordinary, imagine being a genie trying to fall in love. No promise of a normal life, or even a normal relationship. Secrets, and lies--not by choice, but you're wished to not divulge any information about yourself. I cannot imagine how sad Dim must have been, and enter Syd.

Life falls apart, or does it fall into place? Syd is hot, and Dim wants her. Plot twists and turns keep trying to keep them in a constant mode of disaster. It's easy to like Syd, she is edgy and mysterious. Was that the lure that hooked Dim? She isn't one for secrets, and Dim doesn't want to keep all his secrets to himself.

Come on, get sucked in to Summoned. You'll love the ride, and maybe have your jaw smack the ground a few times (I know mine did)!
