Desiree is bitter. Understandable. Decades of granting heart's-desire wishes to other people have turned the hippie girl this way. Fortunately, her fifty years as an indentured genie are almost up, and she can hardly wait. A real life again in the real world. Not having to worry about what others want. Pure bliss.

Crissy Sheets is trapped. Her family adores her boyfriend, Brad, and are thrilled over her great catch. They don't know the truth, though. They don't see the bruises she hides. Terrified by the future she's headed for, Crissy makes a wish for a better life. Just a few desperate words uttered as a star shoots by in the night sky. And suddenly, a new path appears.

Desiree isn't supposed to get involved with her charges' wishes. In fact, it's forbidden. But when Crissy's wish goes from bad to worse to a living nightmare, she has no choice.

What Readers Are Saying

Fantasy at its best!

Not only do we get to follow along on Mandy's adventure with Lexi, we also get to learn bits about Desiree - the wish mistress who I absolutely fell in love with.

Desiree is this quirky, hippy chic genie. She lives in the present with her mind in the past. She marches to her own rhythm, her own way of thinking. Desiree doesn't really fit in, but she has a uniqueness about her that defies rigidity. And she's ever-evolving, always learning something else. It might take her moment to find the lesson, but she'll get there. Eventually.

Desiree even has her own back story that we slowly get to peel away as the story progresses.

These books are wonderful. They take you into a world where you find you want to live.
