The Jinni Key by Bethany Atazadeh

The Jinni Key (The Stolen Kingdom, #2)

by Bethany Atazadeh

She holds the key to his heart, and he wants it back.

When Arie reveals her Gift, she thinks the worst is over. But she couldn’t be more wrong. The only one who can save her now is a mermaid named Rena.

Rena is the youngest daughter of the Sea King, and she’s dreamed of the surface for years. But her first visit on her 16th birthday isn’t what she expects. She watches a Jinni fall from the sky—and chooses to save him, despite her mother’s warnings that all Jinn are evil.

Once she meets Gideon, she can’t get him out of her mind. And maybe, with a little help from Arie and some magic of her own, she doesn’t have to...

The Jinni Key is a loose “Little Mermaid” retelling. Set in a world that humans share with mermaids, dragons, and the elusive Jinn, this is not the fairytale you remember…

What a gem (or should I say seashell?) of a book! Lol. This sequel delivers on everything TSK promises: continuing Arie and Kadin's story and sweeping us up in a new tale with Rena. I absolutely adored Rena's voice and appreciated all the metaphors she used involving the ocean, things only she would say. Despite Arie being helpless at times, she fought as hard as she could and was not the typical damsel in distress. Bosh is a cinnamon roll and I kind of love him. Ha ha. And um, hello, I kept turning the page with the love triangle ! Such an exciting and well-written story. Bethany is killin it with this series and I can't wait for The Cursed Hunter!!
