It will take all their cunning and wits to stay alive...but will they do so in time to save the djinn, her son, and a kingdom?★★★★★ "A very interesting book, well-written by 2 of my favorite authors. I've been a Piers Anthony fan since 1984, with his multitude of fantasy and sci-fi series. I've read just about everything he has written, and J R Rain with his "Vampire for Hire" series has held my interest ever since I read "Moon Dance" ("Vampire for Hire #1") In this book, titled "Aladdin Relighted " these two authors have come together and created a story that kept me entertained throughout the entire book. I look forward to reading the next book in this trilogy!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "A new take on my beloved Aladdin story. After secluding himself to a life of hiding after the death of his wife and son, Aladdin aka Niddala rediscovers what life, adventure, and love are all about while searching for the son of a beautiful woman that takes him to the world of ginnies. Be ready for a delightful book full of action, drama with the perfect amount of humor." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Easy to follow plot with a pretty fast pace. The snarky banter between Niddala and Jewel is funny and the growing sexual tension is hilarious. Jewel is a woman who certainly knows how to use her assets to her advantage, and the results kept me in stitches." ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "OMGoodness! I LOVED this little gem. It was so true to the movies that it was so refreshing to read!!!! Good going, and what a break from the norm. I will be reading more along this series!!!!!" ―Amazon reviewer★★★★★ "Great magical tale written with just the right amount of humor to go with lots of scary plot twists and turns that will keep the reader turning page after page. I especially liked the mixture of light-hearted modern and old-world prose, it kept the story from bogging down. I read the book in one setting! And I'm certainly looking forward to the next adventure." ―Amazon reviewer
