    About this ebook

    "Your wish is my command!"

    What would you wish for if you were offered three wishes?
    When poor little rich girl, Tamar, found a dirty old bottle in the river and released an ancient and powerful Djinn, she decided to go for the big one, the wish to end all wishes.

    Well, it seemed like a good idea at the time...

    Djinnx'd ...

    ... or Jinxed by a genie, which is what happens to Tamar when she is tricked into taking the genie's place in the bottle.

    Good - in that she now has phenomenal cosmic power

    Bad - in that she is now the slave of the bottle for the next several eternities.

    But eternity is cut short when she meets Denny.

    At first he seems just the latest in a long line of human masters, but it soon becomes apparent that he is no ordinary master when he declares his intention to set Tamar free from her bondage - no matter what the cost.

    He has no idea what he's let himself in for.

    Witches, mermaids, houri's a homicidal Djinn and a mad forest god with a superiority complex and that's not the half of it...

    What can kill a Djinn?

    If Denny can't answer this question in time then it will all have been for nothing.

    “The first Tamar Black book is a lively and delightful read.” (Witchreader on Amazon US)

    “Comic fantasy at its best. Comparable with the masters of the genre.” (Wendy Darling on Amazon US)

    “ ... A delightfully funny story, yet laced with suspense.” (Bleep50 On Amazon US)

    “Four stars for an entertaining read and one extra for originality.” (YBR on Amazon UK)

    “Campy, zany, off the wall, and a hell of a lot of fun, Djinnx'd doesn't slow down.” (gnoshinmidges On Amazon US)

    Nicola Rhodes

    About the Author Nicola Rhodes often can’t remember where she lives so she lives inside her own head most of the time, where even if you do get lost, it’s still okay. She has met many interesting people inside her own head and eventually decided to introduce them to the rest of the world, in the hopes that they would stop bothering her and let her sleep. She has been doing this for ten years now but they still won’t leave her alone. She wrote this book for fun and does not care if you take away a moral lesson from it or not. You have her full permission to read whatever you wish into this work of fiction. As she says herself: “Just because I wrote this book, doesn’t mean I know anything about it.”

      Maybe if Tamara just took her three wishes she wouldn't be the one tricked and trapped in a bottle granting wishes. Drawn, against her will, to her current master she wonders what it is about him that's different. Turns out he's a bonafide hero and only a hero could convince her that its a good idea to start a rollercoaster of a quest to free Tamar the Black from the curse by finding the djinn who tricked her, Askphrit, not an easy task.
      Enjoyable, humorous take on the master djinn relationship though a tad slow in places. I recognised elements of Labyrinth, the movie with David Bowie interwoven thorough the story, though that had nothing to do with Djinns.


    • 4/5
      This is a twist on the classic genie-in-a-bottle story and is very Terry Pratchett-esque in its humour. From the cheeky foreword and the very first chapter, with its sly rewriting of the Book of Genesis as a computer programming job, I was sucked in. Funny and smart. What’s not to like?Well, actually, there is something that not everyone will like, and that’s the standard of editing. Font size changes randomly in the .epub version of the file and the punctuation is decidedly hit-and-miss at times. But it really doesn’t matter as much as you'd think it would. It’s slightly irritating and my inner copy editor was itching to take out a red pen, but after a while I gave up noting down the errors (yes, I really did start to write them all down – thinking that the author might like to know about them) and just sat down to enjoy the ride.
