Review by: Kate Northey on June 16, 2012 : star star star star
I stumbled upon Mary Hughes not long after she released her first book "Bite My Fire" and it was the first "I" (first person) book I actually sat down and read, and enjoyed - and that says everything!

Personally I dislike reading first person novels because the repetitious "I did this", "I did that" is more than a little jarring to my reading head-space.

And yet, from the very first page, the very first word, I was hooked on Mary Hughes - she's a fantastic writer, with a wicked sense of humor, clever story-lines, to die-for vampire heroes and kick-ass heroines!

Black Diamond Jinn has all the flavor of Mary Hughes - great writing, great humor, great sex and a damn good read. The only downside to this shift away from her 'hunky vampires' is I thought the storyline dragged too long in places - much like Nixie & Julian's story while they were at the fair.

Sometimes less is more, you know? Otherwise, brilliant yet again.

Review by: Stasi Swain on June 05, 2012 : star star star star
Mary Hughes is an amazing wordsmith. She captures your imagination with the first word and takes you on a whirl-wind journy. This was a new angle for her but she did a wonderful job creating the world for this story. Something that I did not love was that we seemed to have some un-answered questions in the end. However, it hopefully means that there will be more of these charaters to come, possibly explaining what Karmic physics means and how it works.
