Imagine having a genie that fulfills every wish that cross your mind. Now, imagine being the genie, the one who has to kill, kidnap or torture just because a paranormal bond forces you to do it. No so funny when you look it that way, isn’t it?Summoned is the story of Dimitri a 23-year-old genie who has to follow deadly orders from a multimillionaire. To make things more interesting enters Syd, a sexy and surprising woman who immediately gets along with him. They start a passional and occasional relationship that soon develops into more. They both have secrets that complicate things even more.Dimitri is a great character, not only he is a sexy man with great abilities (not only for killing) he has a soft side despite being a ruthless killer. His internal battle between his desires and the task he has to complete is thrilling and heartbreaking. Some of his dialogues were so intense that I had to stop for a second. The anguish, suffering and torment he has to go through was so touching that I wish he was real only to give him a hug.Syd is one of those characters that blow your mind away with every action or word. She is full of surprises and is hard to getting to know her. There is kind of a sadness in her that we see through Dimitri’s eyes that make her more mysterious.The story has an adult level not only because it has sex, vulgar language, killing, torture and explosions on it. For me it requires mature readers because the book has two characters with profound issues and strong personalities who act in strange ways and it's easy to judge them. So in order to understand them or at least try to, you have to be a mature and open person.The language is excellent, with real and vivid dialogues. The descriptions are engaging, detailed and believable. The author writes with an intensity that comes to life while we read.Summoned is not a mere paranormal romance because it has a lot of mystery and action. For moments is more about the chasing, the plotting, the killing and how to stay alive. You will be reading every page waiting for the unraveling of all the secrets.Overall, this is an excellent new adult paranormal story. A great way to introduce a forgotten paranormal being, the genie, with blood, gunshots, car rides, bad people and the inevitable... love.*** I received a complimentary copy from the author in exchange of an honest review. ***
