<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Born in ancient Persia, Leila turned to her house Jinni, Kouros, for help escaping an arranged marriage. Kouros did make it impossible for her to marry--by cursing Leila to live a thousand years as a Jinni herself. Unfortunately, becoming Bound may risk more than just her chance to be human once more: it could risk her very soul"--<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong>In this rowdy and raunchy urban fantasy, Lyla escaped an arranged marriage by accepting a deal from a jinni -- to live a thousand years as a jinni herself. Now, with her millennia nearly up, she's hiding out in a seedy Pittsburgh swarming with vampires, jinni and magical beings.</strong><br /> Meet Lyla, a thousand-year-old Jinn, a belly dancer, and the hottest new urban fantasy heroine in town.<br /> With her thousand-year-long servitude ending, Lyla faces a few serious obstacles to freedom. A Magi intent on binding her again, a jinni bent on vengeance, and not to mention the nightmare from her past that threatens to make her curse permanent -- and claim her very soul.<br /> "<em>Jinn and Juice</em> is a raucous, raunchy tale well told. One thing's certain: you'll never look at Pittsburgh the same way after you've taken Nicole Peeler's mythic joyride up, down, and sideways in pursuit of an abducted teenage girl and freedom from a thousand-year curse. Legend and history, betrayal and love intertwine as the story moves from lascivious sex clubs to the unraveling of a mystery to a magical jinni throw-down which will leave you panting for more. <em>Jinn and Juice</em> is Urban Fantasy at its smartest, naughtiest, funniest best." --Juliet Blackwell</p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"A new star is rising in the urban fantasy world. With her Jane True character, Peeler launches a first-person series that's an exciting journey of self-discovery and murder mystery."--<b><i>RT Book Reviews (4-1/2 Stars) on Tempest Rising</b></i><br><br>"Grounded equally in ancient myth and the challenges of modern life, Jane True lives up to her name ... true, and truly unique! A fascinating, fast-paced, sexy storm of a book."--<b><i>Rachel Caine on Tempest Rising</b></i><br><br>"Nicole Peeler is a master at weaving humor and romance together to create addictive stories and characters!"--<b><i>Richelle Mead on Jinn and Juice</b></i><br><br>"Peeler has done it again! <i>Jinn and Juic</i>e is a delightful read filled with action, humor, heart, and a heroine to cheer for. And it doesn't hurt that there are also sirens, trolls, bugbears, and plenty of Pittsburgh steel."--<b><i>Kevin Hearne, author of Hounded, on Jinn and Juice</b></i><br><br>"Peeler is perfect. Jinn and Juice is her best urban fantasy yet with vibrant characters that leap off the page fully formed from the first line. Fast-paced, rowdy, smart, irresistible, and tender, there's just no one who hits the urban fantasy marks as well as Peeler. Buy this book! Read it! Love it!"--<b><i>Kat Richardson on Jinn and Juice</b></i><br><br>"Rising star Peeler returns with a new Pittsburgh-set urban fantasy series featuring a cursed jinni... The supremely gifted Peeler adeptly builds her alternate Pittsburgh by making it a funky and magically polluted refuge for non-pureblood supernaturals. Fabulous characterization, witty dialogue and a clever plot make for a magically mixed-up tale that is both fun and thrilling!"--<b><i>RT Book Reviews on Jinn and Juice</b></i><br><br>"Snarky, sexy! Beautifully descriptive and painstakingly plotted. Lyla is a smart, sly and just this side of scary. Peeler's world-building is clever and complete with every possible fairy folk character! The other-worldly seems familiar and glamorous all at the same time. And I learned how to curse in a few new languages, so it was educational!"--<b><i>Molly Harper on Jinn and Juice</b></i><br><br>"This series is urban fantasy at its best!"--<b><i>RT Book Reviews Top Pick!
