Without a Map: A Jinn Trilogy Short Story

Abyss World #16

by Liz Schulte

The world is a dangerous place, especially for Charlie Smith who carries an ancient power within her. After Holden and Olivia rescued her from demons as a little girl, she had a blissfully normal life, but change was upon her again. Fresh from graduating high school, Charlie has to decide what she wants to do for the rest of her life. At her brother's insistence, they go to Chicago for the weekend where she retraces her past, considers her future, and maybe falls a little bit in love.

About the author

Many authors claim to have known their calling from a young age. Liz Schulte, however, didn't always want to be an author. In fact, she had no clue. Liz wanted to be a veterinarian, then she wanted to be a lawyer, then she wanted to be a criminal profiler. In a valiant effort to keep from becoming Walter Mitty, Liz put pen to paper and began writing her first novel. It was at that moment she realized this is what she was meant to do. As a scribe she could be all of those things and so much more.

When Liz isn't writing or on social networks she is inflicting movie quotes and trivia on people, reading, traveling, and hanging out with friends and family. Liz is a Midwest girl through and through, though she would be perfectly happy never having to shovel her driveway again. She has a love for all things spooky, supernatural, and snarky. Her favorite authors range from Edgar Allen Poe to Joseph Heller to Jane Austen to Jim Butcher and everything in between.

I only gave it 4 stars because it was way too short...I did enjoy reading about Charlie and especially Baker. There has to be another book following this, need more.

Amazing to read!

I loved the whole series. It was like being jerked around, you never knew what WS going to happen next. Always a surprise. I hate the series had to end but I'll be reading them all again

Little to short

I love that we got to read about Charlie and Baker in later years, but I am Little confused about why it was so short and uneventful.
