Find the Jinn by Maz Maddox
4.0
[I received a digital arc for an honest review]
Find the Jinn is the first full length novel by Maz Maddox in the Wilde Contracts series. Dallas Wilde is a man of many talents some of which include murder for hire and fish training. In his spare time he hunts necromancer’s and kills vampires. When a necromancer's killing goes horribly wrong Dallas finds himself with a new bodyguard and side effects he doesn’t know how to deal with. He also has taken on a contract that serves to be way more complicated than he expects. With everything going crazy around him Dallas finds himself in over his head and hoping to make it out alive.
Dallas Wilde is a mess of a human. He is passionate about his best friend Kevin the beta fish, tormenting his reluctant friend and landlord Barnaby and enjoying the throws of passion with whoever tickles his fancy. His extreme hate for vampires is put to the test when Zane, the thrall vampire, assumes the position of his bodyguard and refuses to leave his side. Add in the complicated feelings for Sias and the job he’s hired Dallas for and Dallas is left with a mess of his own making and a short period of time to figure it all out.
Murder was my day job, fish training my hobby, but my passions were sex, good food, and hunting vampires.
I highly recommend reading the novella Kill the Messenger before jumping into Find the Jinn as you meet Dallas and get a general idea of the urban fantasy world Maddox has created. That being said, this book is an urban fantasy single POV adventure with some semblance of a romantic subplot in the future. If you are going into this book expecting romance you will be disappointed but if you are looking for a wacky fun adventure with a morally questionable MC leading the way then look no further. There’s some steam to be had in this book, don't get me wrong but it is not necessarily a typical approach to a romance. I am looking forward to another Dallas Wilde quest.
4 stars for Dallas Wilde’s zany and absurd adventure into necromancy and causing chaos.
