Jasinda Wilder proves once again that she is great at tackling varied topics in her books.  Jack and Djinn is a eclectic mix of suspense, paranormal, and the heart-breaking realities of romance.  I devoured this book in one sitting.The heroine Miriam is in a very dangerous situation.  She seems to find herself in one bad relationship after another.  But like many abusive relationships, she is unable to find a safe way to leave her volatile, complete jerk off of a boyfriend Ben.  I found Miriam's character strong, despite my inability to understand why she couldn't leave him.  But as I got deeper into the story, Jasinda crafts a plot and back story for Miriam, helping me understand why this happened to her.  My heart broke for her, but grew to admire her inner strength and her protective streak.  There are some key scenes where Miriam put her life on the line for people she barely knows.  I admire that a lot in a heroine.The hero Jack literally saves Miriam's life after being attacked by Ben.  He's just so swoony!  He works as a mechanic but is an artist on the side.  His determination to help Miriam is noteworthy because he goes through hell for her.  We're introduced to Jack's huge Irish family.  They're hilarious, loyal, and definitely surly.  Jack's grandfather Sean is a standout secondary character.  He's funny, straight-forward, and charming.Jasinda does a fabulous job of weaving in suspense, the paranormal aspects of the Djinn, the ugly real life brutality of domestic abuse, and romance in this book.  I'm thoroughly impressed.  I'm a huge romantic suspense reader and she did a great job of keeping me on the edge of my seat.  I also loved the fact that this is an inter-racial relationship.  This adds another compelling element to the romance between Miriam and Jack.  They are so very different, yet they have bonds that cannot be explained so easily.In my opinion, Jasinda hits this one out of the Detroit Tiger's Comerica Park!  One-click this book!  You will not be disappointed.Written by Dee McGee - Booze, Bookz, and Bad Boyz
