1 star: A book with a lot of potential that fell flat due to immature writing.
Cover - typical Loose id, nipples/pecs no faces. Neither attractive nor discouraging.
M/C's - Mark, works as a "field-tist" (scientist in the field) for Searchlight, an organization that seems to hunt/control/monitor paranormal beings. Luke, a genie who lives in a lamp for 20 years at a time. Also, the bad dragon. 3rd person POV alternates between the three of them.

I could not get interested in this book at all. I found the characters flat and boring, I even rooted for Benji the bad dragon. Mark is a damaged guy who can't get away from an abusive Dom ex. Luke, a genie, is found by Mark one day while he is diving. The story could have really taken off after the wish rules were laid out but it never did. Even the ending of the book was a bit of a let down.
It took a while for me to get into the book, but I found the setup and world of dragons/vampires/werewolves/mermaids very interesting, and about a third of the way into the book, things started picking up and I enjoyed the plot. I also liked the characters, although it took a while for me to really get invested in the relationship between Luke and Mark. I like that the genie wasn't your typical genie. Overall, I did enjoy this book and would be interested in reading more in this world of SearchL...more
This story peaked my interest and I thoroughly enjoyed it. There was enough world-building in the beginning to show how things worked here, but there was also the introduction of the characters to make me want to know more about them too. Mark's past was slowly revealed as Luke learned about it in the storyline, however there were enough hints given to encourage my mind to make preliminary guesses as to what had happened. The ending was what I wanted and left a smile on my face.
3.5 stars.
