A unique take on the story of the genie in a lamp, Layla is full of laughs, adventure and fun. Taking some of the usual suspects of paranormal characters, Bernard DeLeo creates a team of protectors. They work with Cole, a mechanic who happens upon a magic lamp, to fight off monsters that are determined to get to Layla, the beautiful Djinn who inhabited the lamp. The camaraderie between the characters is entertaining and humorous. A slow progression in the relationship between Cole and Layla allows the reader to cheer them on, as each visitor to the shop opens a new twist and keeps the reader eager to turn the page.I was provided a copy of the book by BTS eMag for purpose of honest review. I was not compensated for this review - all conclusions are my own responsibility.
