It’s the holiday season, which means traditional celebrations with family. At least, that’s what it used to mean for Ali, but her family no longer remembers she exists, and nothing is traditional when you have seven alluring genies for roommates. Follow Ali and her allies on three new adventures as they navigate a life of freedom and testing limits.
An innocent suggestion by the water genie that Tavor take over the cooking turns Thanksgiving into a baking competition between Ali and Tavor with high stakes. The winner will be in charge of all meals, which means if Ali loses, she must give up her one hobby outside of studying. Can her passion for cooking beat Tavor’s magically made meals?
Following Thanksgiving—and the crowning of a baking champion—Ali can’t imagine celebrating Christmas without her parents, but Rajan and Illan are determined to get her into the holiday spirit. Things go awry when their efforts threaten to turn the most magical time of the year into a magical disaster.
However, before they can even think of celebrating, they must deal with an insidious danger lurking in the shadows. The McMichael genie wizards have been offered one last chance to redeem themselves. This time, they’ll attack Ali with the surest way to end any master—with her own genies. Will Ali survive being thrown at the mercy of the genies? Especially when not all of them are keen on remaining with her . . .

I can't believe I got this far through a series before realising it's basically reverse harem and it's going to be dragged on for FOURTEEN BOOKS. Look. In my defence, I started with the enchanted hotel series, which was cute and fine. And the meta-commentary on slavery, agency, and genies was fairly interesting (though it wasn't explicit or overt enough to seem super intentional). And most of the actual plot events are fine and fun - this whole thing could've been fixed by making only one love interest and filling the rest of the cast with fun side characters of both genders, a few female best friends for poor Ali to balance things out and make them more wholesome - and abracadabra, fun and kinda wholesome urban fantasy series! But anyway, back to reality. I really dislike love triangles and I really hate harems. I should've double checked before getting into it, but I was lax. Now I'm sad (but not that sad because I can already tell which genie is going to 'win' her and it's the most unlikable, manipulative, and annoying one, so....no thanks.). I have enough self-respect to stop now before I get sucked in.
I LOVE this series. The author pulls you in and keeps you guessing with each book. Don't expect Erotica romance. There are no explicit adult scenes, but the storyline is fantastic.
This is for all the books I read, and I am just now doing a review.
Soo sweet seeing Ali with the genies, I loved how their true feelings came out even if for a second!! Tavor and Rajan are still my fav and Rajans completely in tune with her and I love how he’s soo close to her. The other genies are great but I’m still waiting to see how their closeness develops…. on to the next!
Still a fascinating story and hard to put down. Ali's parents were very controlling and gave her very little freedom. Haven't we already read about this in the first two books? Good thing it's repeated here in every situation. Why is freedom for the genies such a problem when it is no problem for Ali to be quite restricted in what she can do by the genies? She even almost loses her right to pursue her only hobby. This feels a little contradictory and irritating. As is Ali's whispering and exaggerated reaction to any hint of restriction for the genies.
The series is only available on Kindle, and as I don't have a Kindle and don't want one, and the files can't be downloaded to convert to epub for other readers, I don't know if I'll be able to read the rest of the series. It is a shame, because it has a compelling plot and the writing is good.
