Seven Kings of Jinn Series by Samantha Young

Smokeless Fire - Book 1

Rating: 3 Stars

Length: 8 Days to Read

This book was pretty good. It started off really slow, and horrible. When I started reading it, I was so close to stopping, but I knew I had to continue since my friend recommended this series. It was so bad. The thought process was so jumbled and it literally hurt me to read it, but I pushed through. I was glad I did.

It is about a young girl named Ari who finds out who her real parents are. Turns out they weren’t even human. She learns about a whole new world of the Jinn and finds out she is one as well. Jai (one of the Jinn) is assigned to be her guardian. Charlie her best friend wants to be back in her life after shutting her out when his brother died. Charlie found out a Jinn killed his brother and it determined to take revenge. Ari’s real father, The White King, wants her back, but Ari wants nothing to do with him. When Ari’s dad (not biologically) gets a spell put on him by the request of The White King, it is up to Ari to figure out how to make him better.

Ari is also caught between the old love she has for Charlie and the new love that is growing for Jai. I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Scorched Skies - Book 2

Rating: 3 Stars

Length: 7 Days to Read

This book was pretty good. I enjoyed the turn of events that happened, but I don’t really have much to say.

Ari knows she is The Seal. That much we got. After having her father attacked Ari realized it’s time for action but she cant do anything because it will lead to another string of events that they were trying to avoid. She isn't really talking much to Charlie after he became a sorcerer. Ari, Jai and Charlie get ambushed by a bunch of humans who are sent by another Jinn to steal Ari and her blood. They need to find out who is behind it etc etc. Jai hasn’t come to terms that he loves Ari until her life is on the line. It’s about damn time. And that it.

They aren't super super exciting books, but they have been keeping my interest. Onto the next book of the series now.

Borrowed Ember - Book 3

Rating: 4 Stars

Length: 6 Days to Read

So much happens in this book and I am starting to really like this series. I don’t know what else bad can happen but I will read on.

This book starts off with Charlie’s trial since he killed the Sorcerer Dali. It is so predictable but I kept reading anyway. He leaves unharmed but is drunk off the power of the Emerald. Jai and Ari have to keep their relationship a secret still and can’t stand it. Ari‘s life is threatened more than once. Jai gets kidnapped and Charlie is still out for revenge against the monster that killed his brother. We find out who Ari’s mother is as well as other secrets come out as well. The stories all make sense now.

There is actually a lot of death in this book that I didn’t like and I really don’t understand how Ari can be sane anymore. I don’t know what else the author can write about but I obviously have to read the last book!

Darkness Kindled - Book 4

Rating: 3 Stars

Length: 7 Days to Read

This book was alright. I don’t know. There really wasn’t a spark for me. At the ending a little bit, where they should have ended the book... but no... It kept going. It dragged.

This book begins with Ari using her one request with Azazil. He was reluctant to give it to her but did anyway! I wondered what she wished for the entire book. Jai and Ari were both now Guild members and were sent on the hunt and kill missions that the other half-blooded Jin couldn’t do. When the White King gets a hold of the Seal all Hell breaks loose with Lilif on the prowl. Ari and Jai are supposed to hunt down Charlie for killing but they decide to kidnap him as well. Lilif is taken care of easily. Asmodeous has a secret agenda for Ari. That was the only thing that surprised me in the book. Other than that, it was alright. I wouldn’t really recommend this series. Sorry.

There were extra chapters in the end. I didn't read them all. I read about three, then got bored.
