Curse of the Emerald Jinn

Granted, Book 1

De: Rachel Huffmire

Narrado por: Joe Johal

Sixteen-year-old Liam Covington is the only one who sees colorful shadows following him around school. They're brightest whenever someone messes with him. That's why Liam lives by a short code: Keep a low profile, stay away from the colors, and don't talk to Kenna Berlin.

But today Kenna saved his life. And he just made enemies with the biggest jock in school. And worst of all, the strange conch shell he brought home from the dunes today is making the colors brighter.

Solid Fantasy for That In-Between Middle Grade and YA Audience

A very clever story about a seriously underrepresented mythological powerhouse. Outside of Aladdin, there really aren't many Jinn stories.
.
This story grabbed me from page 1. Rachel Huffmire has a brilliant way of hooking you on her story early on; I love that about her writing style.
.
You can tell a lot of research went into bringing this book into existence. It was easy to become completely invested in the characters and the story.
.
A solid fantasy book (hopefully, series) for that between middle grade and YA group!

Fast-paced fantasy with a dash of danger!

Curse of the Emerald Jinn is an absolute gem of an audiobook—vivid, magical, and impossible to pause! Rachel Huffmire weaves an electrifying tale of mystery and adventure, while Joe Johal’s narration brings every thrilling moment to life with rich emotion and energy. If you love fast-paced fantasy with a dash of danger and a whole lot of heart, this is a must-listen!

Fun and engaging!

I loved Huffmire’s twists and turns in the story. It was a story that I have never heard or read before, and it was so fun to have a new type of fantasy genre come to life!

I also enjoyed the reader. Johal was able to capture the youth voice of a high schooler without being annoying.

I would say that this book would appeal to the younger side of the youth fiction genre (9-14 year olds) but older audiences will enjoy it too! (I’m 24, and found it fun, charming, and engaging) I would relate the reading and engagement level to the first two Harry Potter books.

Super fun, and excited to see where the next book will take the story! Looking forward to reading it as soon as it comes out!

this was a fantastical journey!

it was a very enjoyable story with parts that get you thinking! I really hope there will be a second one becouse of how good it was!

Ready for FUN?

This book was filled with non stop FUN, twists and turns. I enjoyed the humor in this book immensely. The entire story from start to finish was an absolute blast! The narrator was entertaining in his many accents and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone!

Great Story!

I so so sooo wanted to love this audiobook, just for the story line and description alone. Because I’m really into books of magic, fantasy, and clean reads. Unfortunately the narrator made it a little hard for me to be pulled into the story. Because he seemed to read a little too fast. Not giving the listener time to think between every word. I do get that he was portraying the role of a teenage boy, and kids can talk fast at times. Nonetheless...I decided I STILL Love the story and will consider the paperback. Which I’m sure I will love also.

Such a fun concept!

I have two boys, one a freshman in high school and one just starting middle school. This book had them hooked from start to finish. It’s perfect for kids who enjoyed Percy Jackson, Wings of Fire, and Fablehaven.

EMERALD JINN

A WONDERFUL TEEN STORY, FUN TO LISTE. TO AND THE NARRATOR DID A WONDERFUL JOB WITH THE NARRATION OF THE STORY.

GOOD STORY. DRAMATIC & HUMOROUS

STORYLINE IS WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW. ACCEPTABLE FOR TEENS AND OLDER.
STORY IS FUNNY AND FULL OF INTRIGUE ADVENTURE, MAGIC,SOME FAMILY DRAMA.

NARRATOR IS GOOD AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

Super Fun & Clean Realistic Fantasy

My 16 year old son read this too and he loved it! There aren't a lot of books about Jinn so this was really fun and a unique twist on what you think you know about them. This is set up for to be series and we can't wait to see where it goes in the next book. If you like fantasy and adventure then give this one a shot.

This is probably PG in terms of content. There's very little bad language, a touch of romance but no kissing, and the violence is not graphic. It's a great book for middle grade readers on up to adults.

The narrator did a great job although we did notice some lines/sentences that were repeated and not removed in final edit.
