Book Spotlight: Summoned by Rainy Kaye

Today I’m shining the spotlight on Summoned by Rainy Kaye. I’m struggling to remember the last book I read that featured a genie as a protagonist. Summoned sounds pretty original.

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.

Summoned is represented by Rossano Trentin of TZLA.

Excerpt

My boots clunk down the stone floor of the mansion hallway. I have my head down, sorting through the papers. My intel does a good job. I have a picture, an address, everything except the target’s baby book. Hell, I could probably get that too, if I asked.

But I have all the information I need. The trickiest part will be getting him alone. I could try to find an in with the guy and lure him off somewhere. Click of the trigger and problem solved. Or, I could use brute force and break into his house. Unfortunately, that increases the chances of the first shot fired being at me. Not a big fan of that idea.

See, most people won’t shoot to kill. They’ll take out a knee or something. Personally, I would rather die than what happens if I don’t fulfill a wish.

Failure isn’t an option. Not for as long as I’m still breathing.

A familiar voice says my name.

I look up from the papers in my hand and stop short.

Silvia is standing at the hall doorway, twirling her crimped black locks and eying me up and down. She does that a lot. It’s unnerving.

“Daddy sending you on another mission?”

“Yeah. Wanna take this one?” I offer the papers and envelope as I head toward her.

She laughs, but it’s also unnerving. Everything about her is unsettling, ever since we were kids.

She pops her gum. “Afraid not.”

I push past her into the foyer, passing underneath one of the two massive white staircases, and head toward a set of exit doors.

“Dimitri?”

I glance back. She has her head tilted, still running her eyes up and down like she’s grooming me in her head. She probably is.

She smiles. “Don’t waste my inheritance, okay?”

I scoff to hide the shudder, then let myself out. I expect Silvia to follow, but she remains inside where she belongs.

A white Honda Civic is waiting in the carport, engine idling. Low key. That’s how I roll.

I slide in, drop the file into the passenger seat, and pull out to head toward Phoenix.

Her inheritance. That’s what Silvia calls me.

If Karl thinks of me as his guard dog, then Silvia considers me her puppy.

And she’s just itching to get her hands on me.

It all sounds good. Best of luck, Rainy.

    I promoed this book a while ago. I thought the premise was original and would make for a great story.

      I was browsing Goodreads today and took a look at Summoned. The reviews wer so enthusiastic, I went straight over to Amazon to get a Kindle copy. Looking forward to delving into this world.

    I don’t think I’ve ever read a story about a genie (although I’ve written one). An intriguing concept. Good luck with the release, Rainy.

  3. fuonlyknew says:

    This book is everywhere! I’m trying to find time to fit it in my reading list. Genie’s will be refreshing change.

  4. I’ve only read one series that features a Jinn, but I’ve been anxious to add another one to my TBR pile every since, and it looks like I’ve finally found one. Thanks for sharing!

    • Emma says:

      I hope to start reading it soon. When you mentioned Jinn, I realised they feature in The Forbidden Game, one of my favourite trilogies from childhood. Oops. Can’t believe I forgot that.

  5. Hey, Emma! 🙂

    I don’t think I’ve ever read a book with a genie as the protagonist. Don’t think I’ve ever read a book with a genie, period. Maybe when I was a wee toddler. Sounds interesting!
