I just reviewed The Djinn Entrapment by Leigh Eskin Mascolino. #TheDjinnEntrapment #NetGalley

Such a great book. I really like how all the characters are morally grey. Adin never gives Melody all the information, maybe he is trying to protect her in a certain way but I will always think the knowledge is power. Melody thinks in using the Djinn power, even if it's to help, for a minute she forgets about what's happening right there. I really enjoyed reading your book and I will love to read a sequel.

Amazing book, it draws you in very quickly. Great story and characters. Left me wanting another book right away.

A fun YA fantasy mystery with elements of romance.
I really loved how the Djinn are presented in this book, the descriptions are vivid and come to life. The way the story starts and unfolds is perfectly paced. I read the book in one sitting.
The FMC goes on a journey, she experiences grief and overcomes a lot. She is likeable and kind hearted despite the adversity she faces.
The romance is well done and you really root for them. The MMC is protective and sweet, if the age gap doesn’t put you off.
There are action scenes, magic, auras, djinns, lovely friendships and strife.
I think this would make a great graphic novel!
I would recommend to any young adult who enjoys fantasy or a mystery.

I really enjoyed this book. I have always loved tales of genies and djinn but often found some recent books featuring them to go right over my head with the lore. This was not that magic system was easy to understand and worked. Plot was very good and Ya. I love the main relationships between Adin and Melody. And Melody and her two friends. Villain twist was predicted as soon as I learned the backstory. But was very good. It was a one day read but a good bit of entertainment.

Honestly I thought this was going to be a three but the closer I got to the end the more I enjoyed the story so a four it is ! Yes it’s a little YA and I didn’t particularly connect with the writing style but as a story of a young girl going in her own personal journey it really gave me all the feels as it progressed. Melody is I suppose you could say gifted because she sees things ordinary mortals do not and sadly that’s the monsters that killed her mother. Melody knows to ignore them and pretend not to see them but when on a trip with friends two of these creatures realise she can see them and they quite literally sniff her out ! Everything Melody thought she knew about herself gets completely turned on it’s head ! Far from running and wanting nothing to do with what she learns are actually Djinn, Melody agrees to help them but who can she really trust when there’s deceit and treachery close by !
I didn’t know what to expect from this and will say it was different, fun and even a little romantic. I loved the trust between friends and willingness to help and offer support. I kind of wanted more from
Melody’s father but without spoiling it he surprisingly saved the day in some ways ! The romance hmm sweet yes but kind of a little ick and scary but I guess the author ended it right. I was perturbed and a bit sad at the end but then something happened that definitely gives me hope for the next book.
This voluntary take is of a copy I requested from Netgalley and my thoughts and comments are honest and I believe fair

A spellbinding tale that seamlessly weaves together elements of fantasy, mystery, and romance. The story revolves around Melody Thompson, a young woman with a unique and haunting ability to see otherworldly creatures and command strange powers. When tragedy strikes her family, she becomes entangled in a web of secrets that stretches back generations. Mascolino's writing effortlessly transports readers into a mesmerizing world filled with ancient powers, enigmatic characters, and a love that defies the odds.

The intricate plot unfolds with skillful pacing, keeping readers engaged as Melody's journey takes unexpected turns. From the allure of the Djinn realm to the intensity of the power struggle, every aspect of the story is meticulously crafted. Melody's growth and transformation, both in her abilities and her relationships, add depth to the narrative.

Right from the start, I was hooked by the intriguing premise – a young woman with hidden powers, an enigmatic stranger, and the haunting creatures she's feared her entire life.

As I dove into Melody's journey, I found myself immersed in a world I never wanted to leave. The Djinn realm comes alive in vivid detail, and the ancient power struggle adds a layer of tension that keeps you on the edge of your seat. But what truly stole my heart was Melody's growth – from her initial fear to her determination to harness her abilities and uncover her family's secrets. And of course, the unexpected love that blooms adds a touch of romance that left me rooting for the characters every step of the way.
