The Jafar novel of LaSasha had me actually dreaming of Jafar. O_O In a good way. Haha. Sometimes we take villains for granted and too often we don't know the reason of them becoming villains in the first place. We are automatically taught to despise them without reason.
Her way of explaining the reasons and the path Jafar had to overcome before becoming one of the greatest villains of all time, is awesome and I highly recommend this page-turning book adventure! ...more

Wow this short story really was a page turner, was easy to read, loved Jafar, he definitely kept me entertained. Will definitely be reading more by this Author LaSasha Flame <3
Awesome story!
Loved the description of spells and the whole world-building. Never seen Aladdin but I think I will maybe. This book piqued my interest.

This was quite an interesting story. Showing the backstory of Jafar and how he became the man he is in the Aladin books / movies.
Its not a very long book so I dont want to say too much to give things away. But I think many people will enjoy it. The descriptions contained within this book are very detailed to keep you knowing what is going on.
The narrator does a great job bringing this book out. His tones going up and down in all the right areas.

This was an amazing story, and the author did an amazing job telling it. For some strange reason this particular book flew under my radar for a while, while I should have read it months ago, the moment it came out. Lesson learned, this author writes stories too good to miss, so for the next one I am dropping everything and reading it immediately.

Wow. This was quite a Dark twist on Jafar, the villain we all love to hate. I loved it. So dark, twisted, and sexy. Can’t wait for more from this amazing author and this amazing series.

I listened to this book in Audiobook. The characters were solidly created and as well as their motives. Greed is a powerful motivator as well as sex and the depths of deprivity was on full display. The terrible suffering they put so many through for their own selfish earthly gains was shocking! I found myself rooting for Jafar and cheering him on. The end left me just as angry as Jafar! Overall this was a very well written book and I enjoyed it and would definitely recommend this book!
Everyone knows that Jafar is a bad guy, but most don't know why he turned to darkness.
This is a dark and erotic tale which tells why Jafar turned evil, at least in this author's world. The story is well written, but I can't call it easy to read. Not because it is complicated, but because there are some rather violent and ugly scenes. But beyond that, the story is very good, with well developed characters that have emotions and motivations, be they both good and bad. Personally, I found the stor ...more

Exciting gem of a story full of joy, danger, betrayal and love
This is an exciting retelling of Jafar's story and I was totally gripped by the culture of the Djinn people, the evilness of Shekinah and the joyousness of Jaraf until tragedy took over his life. The cruelty that he and his people experienced was traumatic and the revenge they sought balanced that cruelty but involved a ton of sacrifice. Whew, this story was short but it packed a punch in character development, world building, betraya ...more

Well done
BOSV is an instantly attention grabbing tale filled with love, hate, vengeance. Jafar (a bad guy for us normally) is revealed as a good guy with a loving heart turned bad by the atrocities set upon him. Jafar makes a great bad guy and you find yourself cheering him on as he's literally "burning down the house".
I highly and happily recommend this wonderfully twisted re-told tale. ...more

Wow what an amazing story I totally loved it and even though it’s a short story there was so much packed into it, this is the second book of this authors I’ve read and I can’t wait to read more of her stories. I’m not going to give any spoilers because it is a short story so read the blurb and that will give you the gist to this book but be warned there are some pretty violent scenes well the story is about how Jafar turned bad. Amazing story and I definitely recommend this book.
Greed, lust, desire and love is all rolled up into this short story. I love the way LaSasha takes the reader through two different realms, bringing them together because of greed. With the death of an innocent, the whole race agrees to aid in their revenge… I’m not going to give it away, as I truly believe you should read through the twists and turns in this story. You will not regret it! The next book to come is going to be a doozy!!!
Truly enjoyable and fun read.
There’s not to much that can be said about Jafar. Except, what’s going to happen next.
This is the first time I have ever read and enjoyed reading anything from this author. I’m looking forward to seeing more.

This short story is perfect for reading over a cuppa as it takes less than an hour or so to read cover to cover. It serves as a prequel to the series and does an excellent job. I loved the plot and the characters as the story has a wonderful flow to it and keeps a nice steady pace.

This is a very well-written prequel to Jafar. The characters are very well crafted that grow throughout the story with a lot of history. I cannot wait to read the next story to continue this story. A must read.

Dark Immortal Flames Series a well written story of how Jafar the Sand Viper came to be, it does leave us on a cliff-hanger of sorts. If Shekinah had not done what she did Jafar would have been a different person. I want to read the next book. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I've read several books written by LaSasha; she has done a great job at writing a good short story; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of books her books.
The story line caught my attention at the very beginning and kept me interested throughout the entire book.

This book gives us the story of Jafar so that we can have his backstory of becoming the dark and powerful Sand Viper villain. I have a feeling this story is heading in a direction I won’t want to go, so I will probably not continue with the series. The author did a good job, but the cruelty and suffering goes overboard and is not the enjoyment I look for in a good book.
This is a good short story about how Jafar became who he is. Shekinah is truly evil and her she never does take responsibility for what she had done to Mina. Good book, well written!

Never thought of Jafar that way.
Honestly, he’s never rung my bells, but then again, neither did Aladdin. This is a prequel, super short revision of the villain Jafar. From his point of view.
Nice twist.

I truly enjoyed this book and look forward to this series. It was a very different spin than I was expecting with Jafars character. However I do like the play between the genie and the djinn. With the change in the mythos of the djinn as well. Made for very interesting reading.
Wow! A great short story that flips the roles of hero and villain so soundly. After reading this version of a backstory I actually feel sorry for Jafar! I can’t wait to finish reading this twisted fairy tale!

Loved reading what made Jafar, Jafar. This was a great read that I really enjoyed. Looking forward to the rest of the series.
I enjoyed this one. Good characters. This was an entertaining read. I received a free copy of the book. And am voluntarily leaving an honest review.
So, this is a short prequel of Flame's new series Dark Immortal Flames and introduces us to the world of the Gynn and how Jafar not only became so powerful but also what caused him to become the character we love to hate in the Aladdin tale. In this steamy listen we find that Jafar was not always so dark hearted and we also learn what made him so...
