Smokeless Fire (Fire Spirits, #1)
Samantha Young
FEAR THE HEAT... When eighteen year old Ari Johnson is transported from her bedroom into the chilling realm of Mount Qaf - home to the terrifying and mercurial Jinn - she learns a truth that rocks her very world. Suddenly her anxiety over college and her broken friendship with Charlie seem like small change compared to the war she now finds herself stuck in the middle of. Her unease isn’t lessened any by the hot guardian, Jai, who won’t stop following her around everywhere - a Jinn whose loyalty Ari hates to question but must. She has no idea who she can trust. When the truth burns through her life in its determination to turn it to ashes, Ari will have to battle with ancient deadly creatures, epic family drama and heart-wrenching romantic entanglements.

0 0With some significant editing (to shorten the story), SMOKELESS FIRE probably would have been three or four stars. The story is interesting, the characters are (for the most part likeable), and I was invested in the first quarter of the book. But then things drag on... and on... and with each page the little flaws started snowballing. Charlie becomes less and less likeable, Ari becomes more and more irrational and repetitive, and then the data dump of her “Jinn book” hits. I was pretty much done. From such an engaging beginning, I had to force myself through to the finish.
