SUMMONED
A Debut Novel by RAINY KAYE
with Immortal Ink Publishing
237 Pages
MY IMPRESSION:
Great hook for the title. Rainy has taken this mythology for her own, revised and re-envisioned. That is what it takes, to rise above the derivative and own what has been done before. And yet, has this concept been done before? I think this concept, in its incarnation, is fresh. In a paranormal author universe of vampires, witches, and werewolves we have mostly seen time and time again, Rainy Kaye has summoned a rendition of the Djinn or GENIE that transcends cliche visuals and assumptions we typically have in our minds, for this sort of being. Of the many paranormal concepts that I have become aware of over the last few years, SUMMONED struck me as one that is of an instantly recognizable originality.
I have not been reading indies for review, lately. In fact, my reading, when I have had time, has been in classic genres. I have yet to read SUMMONED but on my short-list of indie must reads, this book is definitely on my mind. I believe Dimitri will strike his own unique paranormal accord with readers...
